Ever since UPS got here today I have be grinning all day. Got my epoxyfrom Systems three and put some on the stitch an glue boat( I also gotextra for my piet) I like it . My wife wanted to know how come itdoesn't smell !Then I got my 1/4 scale piet plans plus the new RCM plan book. everymodeler or airplane buff should get the plan book The new plan book haspictures and a short discription. The 1/4 plans are nice and it lookseasy to build. Anyone looking to build a real piet but won't get aroundto it for a while could satisfy some of piet energy by building themodel even if you don't build it for RC. At first I thought the pietlooked small for 1/4 scale but the wing is 84" Though 1/3 scale wouldbe nicer. Just things to think about when the relatives are starting towear thin !phil--Check out Crusader Toys @http://www.thegrid.net/crusader/_______ ... __________

The first thing I did wascut them in half ! If you have scratch build any thing before the Pietwill be easy. One would be tempted to blow up these plans to build areal piet. It shows a sixty size four cycle so your forty might workif you fly the piet real real scale. But I wouldn't try it. The piet ispretty simple and every detail seems there. The wing rib airfoil is notscale. But I can't see any other differance from the full scale plans.(though I think my wife hid my full size one's as I can't seem to findthem !) The instructions are the construcion article in RCM magizineJuly 82. I think the plans are well worth the money. If you had a copyof RCM july 82 you could see the plans.phil________________________________________________________________________________

If you have full size Piet plans, you should have built your RC model from those... I bought the plans for thr Bouncil Super Prospector, and was fully intent on building that when I made the better decision and built my super ace instead. Made good use of the prospector plans though, as I built a scale model in rubber power stright from the plans. 22in wing, and it did fly very well for some time. It is now retired to the ceiling of my living room.ocb>From steve(at)byu.edu Thu Dec 24 16:24:18 1998>Received: from adena.byu.edu ("port 3877"@adena.byu.edu [128.187.22.180])> by EMAIL1.BYU.EDU (PMDF V5.2-29 #31181)> with ESMTP id for oilcanbob(at)hotmail.com;>Date: Thu, 24 Dec 1998 16:24:02 -0800>From: Phil Peck >Subject: Re: 1/4 scale Piet>Sender: Maiser(at)adena.byu.edu>To: Pietenpol Discussion >Errors-to: Steve(at)byu.edu>Reply-to: Pietenpol Discussion >Message-id: >MIME-version: 1.0>X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [en] (Win95; I) (via Mercury MTS v1.43 (NDS)) (via> Mercury MTS v1.43 (NDS))>Comments: Originally To: "Pietenpol Discussion" >X-Listname: >>Gordon Brimhall wrote:>>> That sounds nice.>> But what did you actually get for 18 bucks on the Piet plans?>>>> Like how many sheets of plans, How many pages in the builders manual?>>>> Gordon>> The plans come in a 3 x 12' sheet.
