List,
What thickness of aluminum would be the best to cov er the gap between center section
and wing? I have some .010 or .012 but seems like it might be a tad flimsy.
Thanks.

Hi Dick,
I used .016" 2024-T3 and it seems about right. That was what my Cessna 140
used in this application. I bought a length of the stuff AS&S sells for
leading edge material.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pieters,
You can also get .016" x 4" aluminum in 50' rolls at Tru-Value Hardware for
less than $17.00 a roll.
Works great for the gap between the center section and wing panels. To
stiffen it slightly, you can put a small bead down through the center of the
strip.
Hope this helps,
John

Subject: | Piet power on stalls |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "walter evans" <wbeevans@worldnet.att.net>
I've got 13 1/2 hours out of 25, and been thru alot,,,,did the slips, did some
wheel landings. All went well.
Now on to stalls. The power off will not be a problem,(I think).
But what is everyones experiences with power on stalls in the Piet??? Any strange
things that I need to know?
At what speed does it break?
Oh by the way, Thanks to all who gave advice on the rudder bar thing. Turned
out that the answer was more rudder response. I keep my heels off the floor and
do alot of toe dancing. And above all was to "stick" the stick. got to make
a point of full back stick, and hold it there to plant the tail wheel for positive
response ON the tailwheel.
thanks,
walt

Walt,
Great going on the test flying. When you get some solid numbers, pass them
along.

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "John McNarry" <jmcnarry@escape.ca>
Ted,
I have access to a large lathe and used it to thread my axles and make
flanged nuts for them. The hubs are bushed with bronze and the inner side of
the hub runs against a large washer next to the brake backing plate. The
wheel end play is controlled by the threaded nut pinned at what I think is
the right adjustment about 0.010" I haven't provided for grease seals as I
figure the wheel speed is slow, 21" rims, and it is so easy to remove the
wheel. I may change my mind in the future but for now simple is best.
BHP had a simpler idea he just pinned the flanged washer.

Thanks John.
This brings up a question. If motorcycle type wheels are going to be used
on a straight axle what is the need for threading a nut. Wouldn't a simple
flange drilled and bolted through the axle be enough?
