Pietenpol-List: Mid West wood source

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Riblett 612 CoG RangeThanks for your reply John, Pretty quick all the way from Australia. I'm just completing the Aeronca T-65 (L-3) and will keep for personal flying but am preparing to build my 3rd Piet . That is my third start as I did not complete the second one. Family health prompted me to rid it but all has worked out so I'll try again. My first Piet 41CC, now owned by Oscar Zuniger ofSan Antonio, flew well and I enjoyed flying it but it had one characteristic I didn't particularly like. When you flared it dropped like a brick.That's perfectly all right and safe as long as you prepare for it and keep yourhead out of your ass. I have had reports about the 612 airfoil that gives a Piet a little float after round out. That's what I want in my next Piet.If you can elaborate on this subject further I would sure like to hear from you. Also I would like those dimensions on both those Ribletts so I can lay out my rib jig board.Had a real good Aussie friend once after WWII we were billetted in same hotel in Tokyo. His job was to entertain Aussie pilots for a fat cat week in Tokyo. Of course he couldn't let those bloody bastards drink alone. Old Badger as a result never drew a sober breath the year I knew him and was a great guy and friend. He was early in the fighter fights in New Guinnie (sp)Corky**************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
