Subject: Pietenpol-List: Big Piet article from Sport Aviation Magazine (May 2009)Erkki from France & Group. Here is the article written by Barry Davis (thanks Barry !) about the Big Piets that appeared in the May 2009 issue of EAA's Sport Aviation magazine. I hope you find it helpful Erkki and to others who may not have read about this wonderfulundertaking by a great EAA Chapter from Georgia.I was able to speak with Barry at Brodhead and see some of these Big Piets up close and they are really a neat idea and well-thought out if you want a slightly bigger version of a Pietenpol. The Big Piet Group used Corvair engines for power but I believe that a Continental 0-200 100 hp engine would also be an excellent choice for the larger airplane.Mike C.

I have a question regarding the big Piets. I know there has been a lot of discussionon the boards about increasing certain dimensions, such as taller cabanes,increased fuselage width and wingspan.. I was wondering if anyone has justincreased all dimensions by say 10%. The articles and posts I have read aboutthe big Piets mention changes, but I was wondering if they had increased overalldimensions or just modified a few as others have done.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Speaking of Wing Sweep and CG
