Aero engineer, Seattle... c'mon Brian... spill the beans...We're dying to see some honeycomb used somewhere in a Piet!Have ya been to or planning on Brodhead? Been up in a Piet yet? I gave THREErides this year to guys WELL along in a Piet project (ok, one was already DONE,legal to fly!) and had never even been in one. Surely we can help ya find someone fairly local or on one of your regular travelroutes.Welcome aboard!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wood bending irony... but great sandpaper source

Yes, the front spars have no routing. I do not have the height number, but theyare about 0.9" thick. My rear spars are a full 1.0" and were routed with 1/4"deep pockets.--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wood bending irony... but great sandpaper source

Tools,Great to know that we can buy sandpaper that doesn't wear out and odd sizes canbe had. I like it. One question though, Who or where is this place? Maybeyou said but I don't see it. Maybe (bad reading comprehension)that's why I didn'tdo so well in school when I was a kid? Hope you don't have sore ribs after this poking.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I did not shim, but eventually tweaked the horizontal leading edges up. Keep in mind, if you shim the horizontal stab, you may have to adjust the vert stab mounting brackets, so that the rudder still aligns with the tail post.GaryNX308MBSent from my iPhone> On Aug 19, 2014, at 12:00 PM, Steven Dortch wrote:> > This is Steve D.

The stab plan shows a piece of 3/16" plywood on the leading edge where the stab attaches to the fuselage. I already have a piece of 1/8" plywood to fill the gap between the rounded part of the leading edge and the 1/2" X 3/4" part of the leading edge. Now, should I shim the stab with a 1/16' shim to make up the 3/16" shown on the plan or is there a thicker shim in addition to the 3/16" piece of plywood. The plan doesn't cover that. OK some of you guys who are already flying, what did you do?
