Subject: Pietenpol-List: Trim, J-3 gear etc.I built up a small area on the trailing edges of my elevators and rudderso that I can add bendable trim tabs if I need to. The holes are alreadythere, all I will have to do is open the fabric and bolt them on. Withno fus. tank, and the passenger on the cg, once set (for cruise) Ihopefully shouldn't have to readjust them. If I intended to use J-3gear, Cont. 65 etc. (ie, a modernized Piet) from the get go, I wouldsuggest the Grega GN-1. John Grega re designed the Piet around thesecomponents and has already figured every thing out for you. forinstance engine mt. length. Also the plans look very good. , ThePietenpol plans are any thing but good. Leon S.________________________________________________________________________________
