I know Halloween was yesterday, so forgive me for the scary photo... With a 10-13/16" radius (21-5/8" width at seat back), I have just enough spaceto allow for proper placement of the seat belt. I know this doesn't do much toillustrate how the taller seat back might actually look... I'll have to postsome of those photos later on. In the current form, the front of my turtle deckwill be 4-13/16" taller than plans. Please don't send a lynch mob. :-)Oh, I am sitting on a makeshift seat that has me ~5" off the floor of the fuse.I hope this was a good estimate as the plans show the front of the seat to be6" off the floor at the front, and then another 1" or so when I count the seattop, which I plan to make with a wicker weave. I should be in the ballpark...I hope.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/seat ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Okoume

I happened upon this little gem today sitting on the ramp at our local airport and just had to share. although it's not a piet,that canopy could be adapted I'm sure.It's a modified Bakeng Duce that fly's in the cool weather.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Okoume

I bought my Okoume from Boulter as well. It looked okay the way it came, but onceI soaked it and made the leading edge wrap from it, then System3 clear coatedit, it looked awesome. Hated to cover the wings.http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Jim ... htmStopped working on my biplane for a while, should be starting back soon (lost job,got a divorce.. back working and still have the house and plane.. so lifeis good.)Jim DRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 23:00:07 -0500
