Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Fuse Questions!KenI'm a pretty wide glide myself I widened my fuse by 3 inches so I am 27" to the inside and 29 outside dimension from the longerons. I carried that from the firewall to the rear seat back frame on a long fuse design. no changes to length or depth and to tell ya the truth last time I tried it on itfelt good. That's about all I can tell ya, other than welcome back to the build.John First off....computer issues. Please disregard the last two messages as this electronic visual sending contraption is acting up.....Members of the list: The long and short.....Long version: sold Pietenpol project due to business/financial/family reasons. Sellers regret! .....Short version: starting over from scratch!Since I am a wide body pilot, I would like to know the modifications to the fuse that many are making in length, width, and depth for us larger pilots. I am in search of added over-all length for other reason too. My lastfuse frame was 6" wider to accommodate my size. Anyone made depth changes to the fuse to settle down inside a bit more? Any fuse modification to improve the plane or mods to offer ease of other building issues is much appreciate!respectfully yours,village idiot!(http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List) (http://www.matronics.com/contribution) ________________________________________________________________________________
