Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but there sure are a lot of beholders who think that an Air Camper is beautiful (and has been for 85+ years now).

Kevin actually hasPlexiglas or lexan over the access opening so the passenger can see out betweenhis feet, but even if you don't do that, having access to the front of thecockpit from underneath is very useful, especially if you plan on having a tankin the nose...Could such an access panel be retrofitted? When we rebuilt the Piet's fuselage,it sure seemed like that flooring is structural. Could some of you post photosof your access panel cut-outs? Maybe I am misunderstanding the location and/orsize.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: really nice photo

Thanks Oscar! A picture is worth a thousand words. That access door makes a lotof sense. And thank you to everyone else for your well wishes and encouragement. Wheelingthe fuselage out onto our driveway has enabled me to carry out a long over dueshop clean-out. Nothing like an organized shop to get one inspired to get backat it!

Oh!...you noticed the guns. Yes taildrags, that's my winter (warbird configuration).I guess that's my inner rhinebeck wishfulness. I have three configurations:Pax bird, Freighter(forward stick removed), and warbird. There are 4 quick-releasepins to take guns off, and I can keep the cover on front pit when it'scold. The guns were just to get a few chuckles from the older fellas at thefly in cafs after they used to needle me; "neat aeroplane..where are the guns".So I tossed my 75% Home Depot maxim's on there...The vertical strut you see is actually a small stiffener brace that the builderof this machine added to keep the windscreen plexiglass from warping as speedincreases. I may change those out to thicker plexiglass. I'll attempt a croppedclose up photo so you can see..--------KLNCA65-8N2308CAN HardwareAirframe 724TTW72CK-42 SensenichStandard Factory GN-1Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: The Jeep Pietenpol engine update
