I had an occasion to look at Mike Luther's Pietenpol project here inAnchorage.very impressive too.He is using a landing gear set up that is contained in a square frame. Irecently obtained some landing gear parts from another builder and theyconsist of a brace across the bottom of the fuselage at the connectpointfor the landing gear uprights on a split gear set-up. What is the bestpossible scenario for the split gear with bungees? Is this strongenough?Mike's set up was complete and very strong looking with the Pittssprings inplace of the bungees.Any other builders want to weigh in on this one? I am getting ready toputthe fuselage on the gear so now is the time to tweak it if necessary!RobThey that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporarysafety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol Landing GearGlad someone brought this to the attention of the list. His package for $12 would be the best investment a Piet builder could make. I used most of his suggestions without question. I think Bill's contribution to the Piets rates aposition up there next to Bingelis.Corky________________________________________________________________________________
