I wrote to Don Pietenpol about plans for the "Jenny" style gear, andhe said he doesnt sell them (anymore?). I was thinking of using thelanding gear plans shown in the 1932 Flying & Glider Mag. Are theseplans complete & accurate? Anyone know of a larger (oh, theeyestrain!) version of these plans, maybe from Orrin?Richard==http://www.wrld.com/w3builder"Mind that bus!" "What bus?"

Your right, the landing gear plans in the 1932 Flying and Glider manualare very small and hard to read. I think when I build my full size pietI can use them plus my plans from RagWing.Gordon The Cheap BrimhallRichard DeCosta wrote:> I wrote to Don Pietenpol about plans for the "Jenny" style gear, and> he said he doesnt sell them (anymore?).
