>From my experiences, the No 1 Piet had full length wings and flat ends with fulllength ailerons. My No2 Piet had 2 ft shorter wings and the aileron were shortenedone foot, and a number of times I ran out of control on a brisk crosswind landing. That means the stick was up against the max side movement. WhenI shortened my 612 wing I kept the full length ailerons, and now a 35 MPH crosswindcan be handled without running out of stick control, and it gives excellentroll rate speed when you need it. All provided one stays ahead of the airplanesgyrations on a very windy day. And as Mr. Pietenpol told me, " If your idea works try it, and it doesn't haveto be perfect".Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Modified Pietenpols

I got one more that will give some of you ulcers and others wild ideas. This one is from the Feb. 1982 Sport Aviation.
