Pietenpol-List: Fuselage finally rolling

Good point, Tom.The strut connections down at the axles are also offset slightly. You do need tolook pretty closely to notice it, but it's there.When I read that note, I assumed the note was referring to the upper connectionsonly, but it does refer to the axle ends as well.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage finally rolling

Very nice, Jerry. Take heart from the fact that the landing gear isabsolutely the most challenging part of the entire project (closely followedby making the windshield frames, if you go that route).Your project is really looking nice (of course I'm somewhat prejudicedtowards straight axles and wire wheels). Looking forward to seeing it atBrodheadin the next couple of years.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

I think it was back when we were discussing dihedral that someone put on a post with a trig program that figures angles and sides automatically. I inadvertently deleted mine. Can the person who did it before do it again? This time I'll do something to keep it permanently.
