Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Interesting Info on leading edge sheetingShad, and all, None of the posts about how to install the plywood is better than the way Bernard shows to do it in the plans. However, bending it around the leading edge, notching and nesting the plywood into leading edge, and scalloping the plywood between the ribs WILL be more work, with No advantage !! The real beauity of the Pietenpol is in it's simplicity. The Jungster 1 biplane is quite a different design than the Pietenpol, and should not influence anyone to build the Pietenpol wing, using anything other than the conventional ribstiching method.Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________
