Perry,One consideration not voiced often concerning metal fuselage Pietenpols is theattachment of various items. Consider, just as an example the throttle on awooden fuselage, one can attach to the plywood side without much effort on ametal fuselage, there is no side to attach to, its open space.This shouldnt discourage someone from building this type, just be aware that theplans were drawn with a wooden fuselage as the source so more engineering orcreative thinking may be needed to build to a metal fuselage. My understandingis that the metal fuselage is about 35 lbs lighter and my partner and I decidedto use this to offset the heavier straight axle gear.Pietenpolingly,Bill Sayre________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Travel schedule Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:05:25 -0400
