Pietenpol-List: BMW version 70hp

Oh, English is my second language and that apparently caused this misunderstanding:)I have plans, where the construction of the landing gear is intended to be usedwith normal small wheels (tundra wheels, simply not the wire wheels).And I would like to equip the Piet with big wire wheels.My concern is that the fuselage could be too high if I used the same construction(I mean - lengths of the tubes connecting fuselage with wheels) of the landinggear with the big wheels instead of the normal common wheels.--------My production of WW1 propellers, trophies and constructions:Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: BMW version 70hp

Hello,Because some of you expressed interest in my business, here you have a little tastingfrom my workshop :)My little company has two employees, they are of the same age like me (I'm 22).We are in the Czech Republic (Central Europe) and it has been twoyears since I sold my first propeller.I have always been a big fan of the first twenty years of aviation and wanted tobuild an aircraft of this era. But because I had no money, I at least made apropeller :)Now we sell reproductions of WW1 wooden propellers, scaled down or full size, aroundthe whole world. They are decorative, people order them to hang them intheir livingrooms, offices. Once I would like to make also airworthy propellers,but that is a far future at the moment. Right now our propellers are handwork,precise handwork, and even though the amount of documentation of these oldprops is very limited, I am sure that our propellers are very similar, some identical,to the original ones.Other products we offer are reproductions of structural parts of these aircraft.Both decorative and functional.Our objective is to remind people the beautiful era of aviation, the wooden propelleris symbol of this era.And thanks to this idea, I can now afford to build a Pietenpol. :)If you want to visit my website, it is http://HistoricPropellers.comHere you can browse some pictures: http://facebook.com/DreveneVrtuleThat's the whole story. I am enclosing some pictures, so take a look ;)See ya in the sky!--------My production of WW1 propellers, trophies and constructions:Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/prop ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: BMW version 70hp
