Dale and I have large wheels and a skid on NX18235. The skeg was left off for reasons Dale has mentioned.We did attach a piece of 3/8" tungsten carbide rod laterally across the trailing edge of the skid for wear protection. Carbide cutting inserts had been attached and worked great. No wear in two seasons. They did, however, tear up hard surfaces as I taxied.The plane is adequately manuverable on the ground. Taxiing downwind can be troublesome in winds greater than 10 mph.It is a pussycat on landing, no skeg required.Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message -----

The plans are on order! The money has been sent, now we just wait for the plansto come to our door!!Now, where is everyone buying their wood at? I see some one went to Aircraft spruce.And that they offer a package, but it is missing the wood for the ribs?I have also asked our local shop, and they said it would be $20 a board ft. So,from the materials list I have, I think I came up with 100 bd ft. ? Is that right?Here is the list i am referencing http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=72593Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A low-wing Pietenpol!

Can you tell us how to get the info from the main http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/menu.htm page?Okay, here goes...On the left side of the page click "Modes of Transportation"Then, on the left side of the new page, click "Air Transportation"Then, on the left side of THAT new page, click "Aircraft"Then, on the left side of THAT new page, click "Aircraft Registration and Leasing"Then, on the RIGHT side of THAT new page, click "Canadian Civil Aircraft Register"This will direct you to a new site.Click the link.Then click "English".Then, on the left side, click "Historical Register".When the new page comes up, enter "GIXC" for the mark.THAT will get you to the history of the mark C-GIXC that is seen on the tail ofthe low-wing Pietenpol in the photo.Clicking C-GIXC will bring up the data for the plane.Phew!Anyway, looking through that data, I see the reason why it looks so different -It's not actually a Pietenpol... It's a GN-1. Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Wing rib material is best ordered from Aircraft Spruce. I ordered wood from them recentely. Wing ribs take approx 630 running feet in 6 ft. sections. That will be enough to cover tha tail feathers also.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

How could you not know how to contact C Willie?? To anyone at Brodhead it was hard to avoid him between him flying the Scout and the Aeronca C3 and God knows what else. Chad Willie is a permanent fixture . . . GeneDate: Wed=2C 11 Aug 2010 10:18:59 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: A low-wing Pietenpol!
