Thanks, Ed. Isabel wasn't too bad here. The eye went east of us. Highestwinds we had were about 65 kts. and we got about 2" of rain (driesthurricane I've ever been through). I had one 12" pine come down across mydriveway (took out a section of the fence around my pasture, too), but otherthan that I had no damage. Good news was, I got to get off work for it.The bad news was, I lost power so couldn't work on the Pietenpol too easily.Jack PhillipsDrying out in Raleigh, NC -----Original Message-----Jack Phillips....Hope you're doing OKay with hurricane Isabel...Hopefullyyou're far enough out of her path........Good luck Buddy.......Ed G.________________________________________________________________________________

Ken,Nice job on the fuselage, I noticed you changed the diagonal in the back pitto be the same as the 1934 plans. Are you going to add the large gussets atthe lower longeron aft of the back pit and at the tail post, also 1934 mods?Skiphttp://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/photoGalleryL ...

Skip, When I started this project back in 1995 the only plans I knew ofwere the ones from the 1932 Flying and glider Manual. and now thanks toDick Staley I have the updated plans and have gone back in and added thegussets and added the ash boards to help in the beefing up the landing gearattachment points. I will be using the wooden landing gear with the largespoke wheels and a Ford model A.the elevator and the rudder and the wingribs are all from the Flying and glider Manual, if you can think of anyother place that needs more beefing up let me know.ThanksKen Hannan----- Original Message -----

Ken and Skip,I had a plans question, it sounds like you guys know your stuff. I haveBP's plans, with the updated longer fuselage. I've noticed lots ofdifferences in the pictures and commentary here on the web. Are the plans Ihave the most current? Should I utilize its rib design, or is there abetter design? As you can tell I'm pretty new to this stuff. Are there anyPiet builders close to Des Moines, IA?Thanks!Jack________________________________________________________________________________

Jack,There 3 basic Piet plans, there is also the Grega GN-1.The Piet plans can be broken down as;1 Regular(1934 Orren Hoopman)2 The 1932 Flyer and Glider plans about 2" shorter than regular.3 The Corvair supplement to the regular plans, this is what most people build now because people are bigger now and the longer fuselage works good with Continental 65 power. These plans are about 14" longer and known as the long fuselage.The rib full size plan is fine, just make sure if you build over the photocopy that the distance between spars is the same as theplans call out.Have fun building,Hope this helps.Skip----- Original Message ----- -- Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jack Textor" jack(at)personnelincorporated.comKen and Skip,I had a plans question, it sounds like you guys know your stuff.
