I used 1/8" mainly because I had an ample supply of it.I think most use 3/32". I used 1/8" throughout the airplane. Mine will probablycruise 73 rather than 75!--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

My 612 was clipped 24"total and the center section is a lifting 24"area, with across-flow radiator lowered allowing 10" between the bottom of the wing and thetop of the radiator. Those of you using engines other than a Ford or watercooling power plants will have additional area working to your advantage.I first left the cabanes as Pietenpol had on the drawings, front 1" longer thanthe rear, But Riblett suggested 1 Degree of incident, not being so bright I amchanging the rear cabanes in 1/2"adjustments upward to get the flight characteristicsthat suite me with the clipped wing,With the standard length wing you will not go wrong with Mr Ribletts suggestion.Even though he said that the Piet's wing had an abrupt stall.He did say that the Piet wing had a high speed problem. Try going 110 MPH witha 145 Werner, it is not easy without a flutter of fabric just ahead of the trailingedge. The 612 high speed flutter is not at the same speed, could be a muchhigher speed, of which I won't be looking for. Over 115 MPH'Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: first flightPietenpol N110DL made her first flight yesterday 8/25/11, at Bayboro NC, pilotedby Barry Triplett. He found the airplane to handle well and said it flies likea Cub. One quick flight this morning and then we had to take off the wingsagain and move her to safer ground before Irene gets here. Got everything securedjust before the rain started.
