After my post from a few days ago I soke with the FAA guy again and Joe Norrisfrom EAA who will be my DAR. Turns out the FAA supervisor was not clear whentalking to me that this was a plans built experimental and not a kit that waspurchased or such. Joe says I will have to have limitations displayedarcs, placards and such but technicaly there is no manual required. HOWEVER, that does fall under good practices and the FAA Advisiorl Circular calls for oneto be developed with anticipated preformance data. Translation, it wouldscore some points on my side to have something in hand.I am currently writting an Operations Manual for the Piet. It will be a MS WordDoc and I will post it when complete. You all can make changes to fit diffrentfuse lenghts and engines a needed. I was up late last night on it and willhave it in a couple of days. Warning in advance, I simply estimated a coupleof figures and corrections willl be needed.One piece of info I could use help with is, with a Piet weighing 682 lb and anA-65 engine, what is the WING LOADING AND POWER LOADING?Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Power loading is lbs/hp but it is based on gross weight.Wing loading is lbs/wing area but it is based on gross weight. We need to know your gross weight.Chris ----- Original Message -----
