Subject: Pietenpol-List: Cockpit doorI put the Price door in my front cockpit. It requires a 1''X5''reinforcement plank that you could not bend enough for the taper thatgoes on threw the rear cockpit and continues to the tail post. (thetaper, not the plank). The door is kind of a front cockpit thing only.Put on a step and learn to be a contortionest. Several years ago whenChuck and Doug Bryant had a Piet flyin at Benton Ks (Wichita) a man flewin with a Piet that had a right front door and a left door on the rearcockpit. It also had a Toyota engine. He only stayed a short time andleft before I got to look at it. A year or so later the engine stoppedon take off and he made a hard landing that destroyed the plane and puthim in hospital for a long time.
