Hi guys: My names Rick Rager and am into about 85 hours building my fuselage.I live in Wellingto Ks. Hey Mike why not the good old Corvair eng. I've talkedto Doug Bryant a couple of times and seen his Piet. I know a guy in OzarkArkansas who is running a suba on his Piet. If you want to call me (316)326-5655 I,ll give you his number or any one elses (His a super nice guy butI not sure he would want his number on the internet) Any way I'm about readyto start my landing gear. The print shows a 48.5" from the top longeron toground.does any one know if thats a critical dim or is this just ground clearancefor the large dia prop for the Model A. I plan on using smaller aircrafttype tires and a corvair eng so I'll be turning a smaller prop ________________________________________________________________________________
