Nothing wrong with spliced longerons. My uppers are spliced in thecockpit (flightdeck????) area. Lowers are spliced aft. 12:1 splice, T-88glue and I have complete confidence.Greg Cardinal>>> Paris Wilcox 06/08/98 02:34pm >>>I know this sounds like a bad idea, but has anyone ever scarfedlongerons together- my next big problem is getting the length stock Ineed to make my longerons with-all my material is in th 10-12 ft range.Paris________________________________________________________________________________

Michael: Go to the BPANews web page; to the Newsletter items, and scan downalmost to the last items:There is a fairly detailed description of "Weight & Balance" which willgive you a range of actual building weights with different engines andlong vs. short fuselage. Good LuckWarren________________________________________________________________________________

Guess I better quit flying mine till I loose 125 lbs then. Seriouslythough, I think you are quoting empty rather than gross weight. My AirCamper weighs in at 620 lbs. empty.Stevee (with a smile)-----Original Message-----TLC62770(at)aol.comSent: Tuesday, June 09, 1998 3:40 PMSubject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Gross Weightmy plans say 635 lbs. with a model A FORD engineKIT PLANE says 675 lbs. with the CORVAIR engine because you add on 6 1/2inch talking to other builders they say between 635 to 700 lbs. depending whatyoudo to the craft . larger fuel tanks , tires . its still a darn nice plane .________________________________________________________________________________
