Pietenpol-List: Center Section Covering
Original Posted By: "Gary Boothe"
Hello,I am covering the center section with a plywood foil of 3mm, a little fixed piecein the leading edge, and a full one for the rest. I plan to attach it withscrews over the rib separated 4 inchs as you can see in the photo. I plan justbarnish it. the other side is the same, but instead of screwa it is attachedwith epoxy.I ask, this is the way to go?.thank you--------Mario GiacummoPhotos here: http://goo.gl/wh7M4Little Blog : http://vgmk1.blogspot.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc0 ... __________

Hi Mario,It's your decision. Most builders epoxy plywood to the bottom for tworeasons: 1) To keep the center section square; 2) To act as a floor foreither a fuel tank or baggage. In either case, most are merely covered withan aluminum top, fastened in a variety of methods. If you don't wish to putanything in your center section, there is no reason why you couldn't add acenter rib and cover same as the wings. Other than a different look and a little weight, I'm not sure what you gainwith a plywood top...but it won't hurt anything, either.Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Center Section CoveringRealy, I ask because I do not see any center section cover. I alwaysthought plywood (or aluminium) is ok, but.. may be there is a reason whynot. I am going to put a tank in it, so the middle of the areas is a littlebit.... soft, that is why I ask, may be you do/put something inside, likeadd a curved section to keep it a little more rigid, or not, it could beunnecesary (I think is unnecesary, but I do not know)It's ok. thank youMario Giacummo2013/6/11 Gary Boothe >> Hi Mario,>> It's your decision.

Any stick pressure, that I felt, I adjusted with a bungee fore or aft,Also I have a shaky right hand that needs more pressure than trying to keep Pietflying at a constant altitude. He who has passed that mid eighties knows whatI am referring to.When the angle of incident is always referenced to the cord of the airfoil, the612 on my wing, should be shorten on my front cabanes by 1/2 " to have a morebalanced flight, but I adjust the air speed if stick pressure buggs me. If speedis required, lower the front cabane and burn more fuel I.E. with more RPM.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: WW2 Jeep Gauges
