Hi Guys,I am new to building a Pietenpol Air Camper with a 3-piece wing and I've just finishedthe first rib. I purchased the extra plans and I am kinda having troublefiguring out how many ribs are involved in the construction of this piece.You can see the pics of the construction on my blog site www.pietenpolclub.com and answer back here.Thanks again,Ryan KirkRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:10:14 +0000 (UTC)

My mechanic buddy loaned me puller kits, but nothing fits. I bought a 3/8"-24 boltand it doesn't even start to thread, but seems to fit the hole. I tried somebolts I had laying around, and a few will easily go in about three threadsand stop turning; not sure why.Do I need a special bolt for those two holes? If so, what kind?Thank you.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: My Pietenpol Build

The one piece wing indicates 14 ribs each (plus one through the center section).The three piece indicates 14 plus 1 (each side) for the center section, thoseinboard two being closely spaced and labeled as 'butt ribs".My question: are the four 'butt ribs' the ones with additional sticks in the ribs(referred in plans as end ribs)? Are there additional sticks in the two outboardend ribs? Anything special in the construction of butt ribs?The three piece also shows two ribs (maybe just false nose and trailing section)in the center section from what I can see.Thanks.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: My Pietenpol Build

JohnYou will actually wind up with 6 of those special ribs-One at each wing tipOne at each wing panel rootAnd two that make up the sides of the center sectionThe two root ribs and the two center section ribs are usuallyfully sheeted with plywood on the outer sides. You will also wind up with some arrangement of partial ribs inthe center section depending on how you do the tank/storage areaand flop or cutout--------Earl BrownI may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where Iintended to be.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: My Pietenpol Build
