>Shad,If you can find some old wood water skis I think they would work great asbottoms. If you wrap them in fiberglass like the wood canoe guys do, they'dbe almost indestructible.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ?Pietenpol; - MATRONICSWEB FORUMS - ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: For what its worth - Piet Stats at FAA

I wonder just how many Pietenpol / Sky Scouts are CURRENTLY being built andnot yet registered with the FAA??Anyhow, here are some useless tidbits about the current fleet of registeredPiets/Scouts. Somehow I think Jack Phillips (or is it John?) is going tohave a field day with this....According to current FAA registration data there are about 350 Pietenpol(s)currently registered in the USA Of those, 15 are "Sky Scouts". Wisconsin hasthe most at 25.There are about 109 Pietenpol aircraft records without current FAAregistrations bringing the total known to the FAA (and at one timeregistered) to around 459 Pietenpol/Sky Scouts give or take a few as therewere some duplicate records and apparently "lost/destroyed" are no longer inthe database.Of those listing an engine, the most popular engine was (sit down) the A&C65 - 78 of them (what a shocker) and a total of 108 Continentals. There are40 "Conversions" and I am guessing those are the Corvair and Fords (mostly)and only 1 radial listed (hhhhmmm...who could that be?)Here is a rough listing of Pietenpol engines by type (not all registrationsnoted an engine)O-145 5O-200 9O-235 2O-290 4O-320 14AC1 6A&C 65 78A&C 75 14A&C 80 1A&C 85 15ALL MDLS A/B 5Conversion 41Funk E 2GO-140 10R-2800 1Here is the Pietenpol / Scout count by stateNH 1ID 1LA 1MA 1SD 1RI 1DE 1CT 2KY 2MD 2ME 2WY 2ND 2AL 2AK 2WV 3NM 3MT 3CO 3UT 3NE 3AR 5OR 5SC 5NJ 6NC 6WA 6KS 7TN 7AZ 7MI 8VA 10OK 10NY 10IA 11GA 11IN 12IL 12PA 15MO 18OH 20MN 20FL 24CA 24TX 24WI 25________________________________________________________________________________

Robert, if you are starting a compilation of Piets under construction, here is my data. Long, wood fuselage with Keri-Ann Price RH front door, WW conversion Corvair engine with Weseman 5th bearing and Cloud Cars prop, will have wooden landing gear struts with 800:600 wheels with Matco brakes (toe operated from the rear seat only), steel wing struts made from Taylorcraft struts, wings have ribs from a set of GN-1 plans (I was told that the GN-1 airfoil gave better rate of climb than the original Pietenpol airfoil). Hope to fly by the end of summer 2013. Ohhh -- gotta get hot! Chuck----- Original Message -----
