Those tip tanks are definitely not from a T-33. If they were, however, you couldhave about 450 US gallons of fuel available. At cruise power with the A65,that's over 100 hours of cruise flight. At an average of 65 MPH (no wind), that'squite a range... 6,500 statute miles. It's only about 3,000 statute fromthe UK to Maine.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Oops... Jeff- my humble apologies. Upon re-reading what you wrote, I see thatyou correctly stated that the transcontinental flight would only require ONE ofthose tip tanks. Good figgerin' on your part ;o)--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hi SteveI can't answer why we have to fit jury straps at all let alone just one, I agreethey look wrong! I guess there is a good reason connected with the Jim Willsdesign wing we use here though looking at photos of G-ADRA which has a solidBernie Pietenpol spar that has jury struts also, very confusing.More weight to carry with these as well as image.Cheers,English Johnny--------The only way is UPRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2014 00:15:33 -0700

I bought the complete set of plans for the Aircamper because there a so many excellentexamples of good looking completed projects. I then realized my largebody size, 260 and 6' 3", would not easily fit this aircraft.I've heard tales about the builder plans having been increased to provide a largercockpit and more lift. I cannot find any source to confirm these stories.Can somebody help me with this problem?Todd________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Larger Pietenpol Drawings

Todd,My fuselage is 2" wider and 3" deeper from plans. I'm 6' 4" and fit in it reasonablycomfortablely. I've sat in it lots but haven't flown yet so jury is stillout, sort of.Good luck on your project.JackSent from my iPad> On Nov 2, 2014, at 6:42 AM, Todd Pryby wrote:> > > I bought the complete set of plans for the Aircamper because there a so manyexcellent examples of good looking completed projects.
