Hello Group, Just wondering if there is any interest in a Piet Fly-in here in Ohio.- This would be the 3rd time I hosted one, but the turn out has not been great the past couple years.- Last year was a wash due to weather, and possibly hosting it on Fathers Day weekend.- I am thinking of moving it back in the year a little to get more stable summer weather vs the unpredictable spring patterns.- I am looking at hosting a fly-in with my neighbor regardless.- If any of you have any input let me know, I am trying to plan it when it won't interfere with other big fly-ins, events.- I know of at least 4 piets within 1-2 hr flight time, and it would be an easy shake down cruise to prep for brodhead.-Let MeKnow,-Shad________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Greetings and a blog about Piet's

Pietenpol-List: Re: Landing Gear Question - Heighth
Original Posted By: "Jerry Dotson"
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I=92m building the split gear, longfuselage with brakes. The archives suggest (Bill Rewey) moving the gearforward 3 inches. The plans call for the Vees to be 22 =BC=94 long with 19=94wheels. My wheels are 25=94. I assume I don=92t shorten them by 6=94 becausethey exit the fuselage at about 45 degrees. Can anyone assist here?Thanks!DSMNX1929T________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Landing Gear Question - Heighth

Jack I just went out to the hangar to look at my drawing to be sure of the measurement.On the original fuselage drawing in the upper right hand is the dimension51" tall to the top of the top longeron with the longeron level. That iswhat I used to make my landing gear. My tires are 26" diameter(21" rims). I thinkthat is what B H Pietenpol had in mind.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009now covering21" wheelsLycoming O-235 C 2CJay Anderson CloudCars prop 76 X 44Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thanks for checking Jerry, that will be a good reference point. Not being ageometry guy, any idea on the amount to shorten the vees because of the"squat" of the gear? It can't amount to much.Thanks!Jack-----Original Message-----
