Pietenpol-List: one man's spar idea.....flying for 16 years and 450 hours
Pietenpol-List: Re: spar strength

Mike P.- no, I'm not looking for a database of spars. I was just inquiring aboutspar thickness. My analysis includes solid and routed, 1" and 3/4", spruceand fir. Besides the built-up I-beam and the UK box designs, I will also NOTbe studying anything deeper than the standard 4-3/4" deep FC-10 spars. Peoplewho use the Riblett or other airfoils may be able to use a deeper spar, whichwill provide increased capacity, but I'm not going there.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:21:26 -0700

Jesus, Guys, enough!!If you spent half the time building that you spend worrying over minutia and runningstress analysis on an 80 year old design, we would darken the skies withPietenpols. Pick a max gross comparable to others and go fly the damned thing!!GeneOn Jul 31, 2014, at 11:12 AM, "taildrags" wrote:> > Mike P.- no, I'm not looking for a database of spars.
