Looking good. Keep going! It is a fun project. I don't get to work on my EZ as much as I want, but it is always there waiting and it doesn't whine at me when I don't get to it. Always fun to work on.

More progress, the fuselage sides are completed and being joined now:

Wow ! a 1 to 1 scale airplane. Why, I bet you could almost climb in and fly it!!!!! Y'all got more **lls than me.

What are you going to use for power?
What covering system are you going to use?
Any more progress?

SWEET!!!! A Pietenpol! This is one of my favorite planes!!!!!! COOL BUILD!! I am also currently in the process of finishing my Pitts S-1C. I have a work log here ( http://slick.grizzlyworks.com/pittslog.html ). Awesome plane, keep us updated!!!

The dates are wrong on the pictures.

I see your allot further alone than I am!

I am going to use a Subaru EA81 1.8Ltr flat 4cyl for power. It is bullet proof and I trust it as much or more than "certified engines". I would fly with an A65 any day, but between an A65 and a Subie, subie all the way.

More progress: More sheeting and cross struts done on the fuse as well as starting on the seats. The cowl also came.

Looks great so far. Have you sat in it yet?
Subaru is a great engine, a friend of mine had one in his RAF gyroplane, he loved it.

Funny question, but accurate, there is allot of hangar flying in building an airplane. I have not hopped in it yet. I think I will get the sheeting all done, maybe even the gear first.

I asked because I didn't sit in mine until I was too far along to change anything.
I built a Thorp T-211, when the fuse was just about finished, I found my head hit the canopy. I had to remove my seats and cut them down.
Good luck, the build looks good.

looks like an awesome build what sort of weight do you think it will be also what size of prop would you use
