Has anybody made piet ribs of routered ply instead of the stick-built???(kind like the Flybaby or VP-1)I'd like to do it, but rather than re-invent the wheel figured I'd see ifdrawings or examples already existed. If anybody has drawings, let me knowwhere to get them. (I am working from the flying and glider manualdrawings, a set of GN-1 drawings and taking hints from a set of flybabydrawings)after this fuselage I have had enough of sticks for a while ;-)TIAMikeAlways look on the bright side of life....lifes a piece of shit, when you look at it...Always look at the bright side of death...(Life of Brian...

Hey MikeHow was it set up... 1/4" nose ribs, 1/8" mid and trailing withcapstrips??.. Or straight 1/4"/ no capstrip ?... I am using mil-spec birchfor all my ply so strenght either way is not a problem, but I would like toget the construction as simple as possible.The longer-term idea with this hybrid contraption of mine is to put caddrawings on the net for everybody to use or reference (no, I wont becharging for them...kinda like the gyrobee, but with a real flying machine)looking for something new. Not to mention it makes my life easier ;-0Mike-----Original Message-----

Actually, after a great deal of thought and soul searching..No, I will not remove the signature.This is your list Steve, and if ya want to throw me off it, that is yourabsolute right.I have, however had just about enough of this socially-engineered,politically correct, non-offensive world. I dont answer to it.I came here to learn about, talk about, and share ideas about Pietenpolairplanes.My signature file (which goes out to 15+ lists, 10+ companies and 200+private parties) is actually irrelevent. It has nothing to do with thediscussions,the technical information, the humor or the good faith sharedby the list members. All brought about by these wooden antiquated flyingmachines.I happen to like Monty Python. I happen to think the quote, the song and themovie seen to which it relates are VERY funny. With the quote, I hope toshare a bit of that humor, and a little bit of that fun.I appreciate the whole world dont like my sense of humor, but I long agogave up trying to please the whole world.I am sorry if this offends your sensabilities, but some of us grew up andlearned to live and let live. The rest became the easily offendedpolitically correct.I have absolutley no intention of causing strife or ill will on any list.These "clubs" are about friendly exchange of information, sometimes someribbing, and a few jokes.just like the local hanger.but I have no intention of apologizing for, or changing what I am. As amater of fact, that quote from a 30 year old movie is probably the mosttruthfull, common-sense quote possible for North American Society today.The alternative is to cry in misery, whine for welfare, and loose.I choose to smile, laugh and share a bit of humor.

Mike & everyone else!Sorry guys, but I'm only going to talk about ribs, etc! (no socialcommentary!!;-)My set of Flybaby plans show 1/4" ply for the nose ribs (at one time youcould get A-A ply) & 1/8 for the rest of the rib. The top & bottom capswere 1/4" x 1/2" with a 1/8" groove for the 1/8" web. ( the grain of the1/8" ply was run vertically ) Where the caps strip attaches to the noserib, the nose rib is notched so the cap strip blends into the curve of theairfoil. The Flybaby ribs that I have in the barn use 1/8" mahogany ply forthe webs. Holes are drilled thru the web for the drag wires -- wood 1/2" x1/2" triangle blocks are ued to attach the ribs to the spars -- the sparsare angled on the top & bottom to match the rib.With the ply nose ribs, there is a 3/8" x 5/8" L.E. strip (vs the Piet'sstair railing -- this works with the hardware store .016 Alum. 1/2 hardflashing ( Pete Bowers does call out that in the plans! make up the L.E.1/4" x 3/8" wood strips go between the ribs on the top & bottom of the frontspar -- the Alum flashing is attached to this with #20 cement coated nails(after sealing the all the wood work!)Since the FlyBaby is in the same class as the Piet (weigth & size), I usethe plans for alot of reference.Mike C.PP, KSAt the risk of----- Original Message -----

Thanks for considering it Mike.I have learned that there are other words that would do the job of a foulone much better if we took the time to think about it. Usually it lendsmore meaning to your point of view as a bonus. As has been pointed out, Iturned the list over to another and don't have the ability to terminate yoursubscription. I just hoped to keep things clean and free from so much junkthat pollutes the other groups I have long since abandoned. In myobservation, swearing denigrates the user more than the recipients, but likesecond hand smoke, its effects can't be ignored. I believe that we are allconnected to each other, even more so in the age of instant communication,and can and will have an effect on each other, for better or for worse. Youare right, you can do what you want, but you cannot control theconsequences, they are fixed.As for me, I will avoid exposure to the erosive effects of swearing, andnegativism. (If I politely ask someone not to smoke in an elevator, theyusually honor the request, if not I take the stairs.)I believe we are on this earth to learn how to be happy, then help othersfigure it out too. Flying, building and talking about Pietenpols is one ofthose things that brings me a great measure of joy. I hope yourcontributions strengthen the fabric of human existence while we are here toenjoy it, and leave a worthwhile legacy thereafter.Steve E.By the way, like everything else in aviation, ply vs truss ribs is acompromise. I chose to spend the time to build the truss, and fly a few lbslighter ever after. SE-----Original Message-----
