Original Posted By: Michael Perez
I'd like to know if the plans are complete, without endless errors and omissions.If there are such problems, are they documented somewhere with solutions/corrections?I just quit my Hatz Classic project after two years, $8K and 400 hoursas I want to build a plane; spending my time correcting plans is not whatI want to do. I'm not a designer or engineer. I need solid, detailed, plans.Thank you.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 09:40:23 -0700

John I respectfully suggest maybe plans built is not your best direction. Allhave changes and omissions. I believe the archives have an article detailingmany of the changes. Good luck.Sent from my iPadJack Textor> On Jul 8, 2014, at 11:31 AM, "Pocono John" wrote:> > > I'd like to know if the plans are complete, without endless errors and omissions.If there are such problems, are they documented somewhere with solutions/corrections?I just quit my Hatz Classic project after two years, $8K and 400hours as I want to build a plane; spending my time correcting plans is not whatI want to do.

John, in general the Pietenpol plans are pretty good. That is not to saythat you won't have to spend considerable time studying them, because thedimension you need on sheet 4 might have been put on sheet 2 (the plans weredrawn by a high school student). They apparently are good enough, becausehundreds of planes have been built from them, most by builders who neverbuilt an airplane before.If you want to build a plane with excellent plans and drawings, I'd suggestcontactong Vans Aircraft, and building one of their RV's. If you arewilling to take the time to study and think over the plans, you'll findbuilding a Pietenpol to be a rewarding experience.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

I have a brass float that was for some year of mustang- have no idea what yearnow, but it has a rolled groove around it at one end and works fine though I haveyet to make a bottom of the tank gage so it can hang down. it is for now throughthe cap and being a top of the wing center section tank fairly uselessunless you are brave enough to loosen the seatbelts and raise up enough to viewit.
