I would look at what they usedfor a prop, then probably go 2" flatter in pitch as the Piet is slightly slowerand draggier than the Citabria (although the 7ECA is pretty much a dog)."--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Got some Piet building done today!

Well, 2 years ago I figured I should be half done with my Piet by now...I wishthat were the case. I suppose moving, having MORE kids and changing jobs havekept me distracted. Part of me wants to say the heck with it and sell the project.(notthat it is much of a project lol) BUT since I was 14 working at an airportwhere experimental aviation was very much alive, I vowed that one day Iwill build and fly my own airplane. So today I snuck away for a few hours to continuemy quest! Pictures to follow.-Kyle--------Airspeed, altitude or brains: Two are always needed to successfully complete theflight.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jake your plane is looking great!!! I found a book that is great to use with thesteel fuselage, it shows all the different mounts and pieces you need on a plane,fromengine mounts to landing gear, you name it. It also has most of thecharts you need like an hardware numbers and measurements. The book is AircraftDetail Design Manual. It is published by Aviation Publications 217E WashingtonSt. Appleton,Wisconsin 54912-0357. I think I got it at the EAA museum. I promiseto get some pictures soon.--------Building steel fuselage aircamper.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Got some Piet building done today!
