Interesting the cutouts of the side ply.Did you cut out the 3/32 " ply on the bottom aft of the pilot seat also?I never really felt like the bottom ply or the ply on the sides behindthe pilot seat was necessary as long as you put big ole fat gussetts atevery intersection of longerons/diagonals/verticals. Isnt that the wayMr Pietenpol designed the Piet? It also looks like you may have addedsome torsional bracing at a couple of the stations , too. I dontremember that in the plans - but makes goood sense. It should bestrong. Just my 2 cents.Later, Bertbwm(at)planttel.netwww.bwmproductions.com/GN1________________________________________________________________________________
