Hello there
I was wondering if this was the right place to ask about it but here it comes:
I'm thinking of building a Pietenpol or look a like.
I'm 6'6,5" tall and weigh 230lbs and I still would like to take a passanger with me aloft, of the same weight if possible.
As an engine I would like to use a Peugeot TU3D an diesel engine widely used over here in France in cars and some airplanes.
My size explains why I would like to get an extra-long fuselage.
I would be receptive for a welded steel fuselage and or a riveted aluminium one, but so far I haven't found anything suitable.
I'd like the idea of using some cub parts, like it's landing gear and controls and even a wing of the cub.
I would realy like the idea of an Pietenpol look a like!
Who has some ideas or even knowlege to stretch an existing Pietenpol or Grega or....
My very best rgds
