Pietenpol-List: The longest fuselage

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Christian Bobka"
It has been mentioned that there are plans for a 172 3/8" fuselage and being 6'1"tall these are the plans I would like to purchase as I would benefit from theextra leg room.The only thing is I have not read where this plan can be purchasedfrom.As I understand it there are 3 lengths to choose from and Don Pietenpolhas the original or short for the Ford "A" engine and one that is 6" longerfor the A65 and corvair engine.If there is indeed a longest fuselage,wheredo I order this from? Thanks in advance.This is a great site,I have been working my way through the archives and enjoyingit immensely.Regadrs,Mike Turrell________________________________________________________________________________

Mike,the 172 3/8" long fuselage plans are available from Don pietenpol. he might referto it as the Corvair fuselage. If you talk to him, he will know what youmean.chrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren ----- Original Message -----

Larry,They usually close the NW/SE runway and the NE/SW runway leaving the E/Wrunway at the airports north side open. I have never seen the airportclosed for any reason during the flyin. The closed runways should be X'doff with a yellow X at each end. I believe the E/W is the longest. Twoyears ago, it was incredible windy and hot and it got to the point where theE/W runway was unuseable for almost all aircraft which created problems forarrivals. As a result, they opened the NE/SW runway. It was so windy, itonly took a few hundred feet to roll out so it did not impinge too much onnormal operations.Cheers,ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----
