I think most of us refer to fuselage length as that that's shown on the plans -- from the outside of the front vertical menber of the frame to the rear of the tail post. My plans show the short fuselage as 163 inches in the layout for the side of the fuselage. The long fuselage, as shown on the supplementary plans, is 172-3/8 inches. When you add up the dimensions at the top of the side view of the original plans you come up with the 163 mentioned above. On the top plan and the bottom plan when you add up the dimentions it comes up 162-1/2. I don't think that 1/2 inch makes all that much difference. I made my fuselage the 172-3/8 per the supplemantary drawing. In the long fuselage you get 2 inches extra depth in the pilot's compartment. (Fielder's choice) Chuck----- Original Message -----

Considering Wt & Bal, William Wynne has some excellent articles in the Pietenpol Assoc. newsletters. The issues are Jan 1, 2011, Apr 1, 2011, Jul 1, 2011, and Jul 1, 2012. If you don't have those issues I'm sure you could get copies from Doc Moser, BPA, PO Box 3501, Oshkosh, WI 54903. Good Luck, Chuck----- Original Message -----
