Pietenpol-List: Brodhead questions
Original Posted By: Owen Davies
To:pietenpol-list(at)matronics.comSubject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead questionsI'm seriously contemplating a trip to Brodhead and Oshkosh this summer. I am planning to fly commercial from Orlando to Chicago and rent a car from there. Is there a motel close by Brodhead, or do some people camp at the airport for the weekend? I could probably just buy a tent when I get up there and use it both at Brodhead and at Osh if that is possible. I'm hoping to have my Piet project finished by the 80th anniversary and would love to meet some of the guys on the list and maybe even get a ride in one.Ben CharvetMims, FlBaby Ace N39DPiet Project NX866BC________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:23:23 -0500

I am right there with you Steve. Doug Fir is an excellent choice. My last purchase was $2.49 bd ft. I'll be buying 16' sections again next week. It is available at local lumber yards and is finish sanded.Also an early plug for Sun n Fun (April 8-13) for all the new guys on the list. The Wood workshop at SNF is kind of a Pietenpol central down there. Several of us volunteer in the shop and are there everyday. This year I will be bringing a set of wing ribs and spars and we will construct a pair of wings at the show. I am going to try to also bring the fuselage (not a Piet) that we built last year.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Finished wieghts of Spruce Piets vs. Douglas FirPiets>> I have the Flying and Glider Manual that covers the Piet, and havethought of drawing the rib on autocad and building the ribs until Ipurchase the complete set of drawings including the long fuse for thecorvair engine. I don't think there would be any copy right issues withthat approach since the information I have comes from the Flying andgliders manual. >> Thanks in advance and I hope to start soon.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead questions
