All,While we had the wings in place, my son & I also did a preliminary W & B.Adding some guestimates for fabric and paint, and using a W & B form thatJack Phillips sent out a while back (his dimensions are very close to mine),I estimated empty wt to be about 660 lbs, and CG looks good! Note the handysliding conduit "struts" that I borrowed from Mike & Vic Groah.they workgreat, and gave me the opportunity to exactly measure my strut lengths, asmy hickory struts will have little, if any, adjustment. Cover starts on September 10th. It was a great weekend.Gary________________________________________________________________________________

Tom,As is often the case, it's Tony Bingelis to the rescue (see attached article).I've gotta say that having access to the entire library of back issues of SportAviation, with "search" functions is practically worth the annual EAA membershipfees. That only took about three minutes to find.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1989 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Trial Wing Fit

Hey Gary,Wow, looks great. By my estimate, you are about six months ahead of me. I amcompleting the left wing this week, adding the safety shaft to the Corvair crank,and prepping it for the college at Barnwell in the fall. The right wingmod comes next, then I can fit them just as you are doing now. Hopefully I willbe covering by late winter or early spring.Robert (in hot-as -hell Holly Lake)--------Robert CaldwellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:04:20 -0500
