Install a flexible membrane in the middle of the fuel drum. Run your fuel
line out the bottom of the drum and your relief tube outlet into the top of
the drum. As fuel is used up and the membrane moves down in the drum,
you'll end up with plenty of relief tube capacity in the top. Heck, you
could even rig up a coffee warmer off the exhaust manifold jacket and live
the high life while traveling ;o)

It's not an issue of keeping interested people away, it's an issue of
the Piet flyin becoming so laborious that the volunteers are literally
ran into the ground. These folks are the reason that there is a Piet.
fly in. I think we are taking them for granted. A few extra sheckles in
the coffee can isn't going to help. It's not a question of money. The
volunteers are doing it for free and everyone who eats pays for their
meal. These good folks start working on the Pietenpol fly in weeks in
advance and it would be just as easy for them to go up to Osh. and
volunteer their time or just set in a lawn chair and watch the early
birds arrive. Which would you rather do, relax at Osh. or work your @%&
off at Brodhead. Leon S. Seeing the hand writing on the wall. Do not

Don,
You still dont get the message, even for me (english second language)
was clear...
What he wants to say is something very "normal" for some pilots:
"Hey, lets go ALL OF US to Brodhead, is a cool place to stay , just a
few days before Airventure, they have a little Piet Fly Inn and also
some camping area and services... Doesnt matter that we are 200 planes
with two people in each one, is THEIR problem... Joe Doe (a Piet
builder) invited us....
This is exactly what he said NOT: "No Piet airplanes allowded"
JEESS is clear as water for me.

Group--- Brodhead is not the ideal place for most to 'lay over' on the way
to Oshkosh. Airports like Watertown that have motels and food at the edge
of the airport property are the places that draw the majority of the
transient traffic to and from Oshkosh. The Piet fly-in has always drawn
other traffic just like any other type-fly in and that is just fine, but by
and large there usually isn't a big crowd of anybody there, including
Piets. Brodhead is great for camping out under your wing or around the
building/pavilion area. The hangars on the south side of the field are full
of some really neat antiques and projects that rich guys from Chicago own
and come to play with on the weekends to get away from everything. Course
other planes based there are owned by locals too.
The place is huge---they could park a hundred planes if they wanted to like
they do for their fall fly Grassroots Fly in, so parking certainly won't be
a problem---especially for Pietenpols since they take up such a teeny tiny
area.

I did have to take a few detours around the rocks, but ridge lift did
the work the continental couldn't. 10,500' that trip. Looking forward
to doing it again. You still win though I only put 45 hours or so on
that trip. I'll hopefully have my chase plane finished by then and my
brother and I will swap flying duties in the piet and Stinson 108

Steve,
I thought we agreed that, although the GPS said I flew further, you came
a
longer distance because my route was flat and you had all that up and
down
distance going over those real mountains. <grin>
Glad to hear you are coming again next year. Looking forward to it.
Walt, the good news is that the first 2 hours is the worst part of the
trip.
I don't know if you get use to it or just numb but it all starts
becoming
acceptable. In fact, by the time I landed 2 weeks and 62 landings later
I
hated to have to get out of that cockpit knowing that I wasn't getting
back
in it the next morning. Kind of grows on you.

Dear YKW and others,
The sport pilot issue will help some of us who can pass a physical but
just can't afford a $125.00 physical. I finally located one 50 miles away
that does it for $80.00. Thats still 2 much. Anybody know what is the
earliest you can arrive and set up camp at Brodhead? Thanks,Bill

Hey all. What would you say is the optimal prop size
for a Ford Piet? What's too big? I have a chance to
buy one, but it looks pretty big.

I am trying to cut 1/8" cable and having trouble getting a clean, smooth
cut. I bought the small cable cutters from Harbor Freight, but they just
bend it. I could not find a good one at Home Depot or Loews. I had my doubts
about the HF one, but it was cheap.
What have you guys used? Dremel with a cutoff wheel? Hack saw (this kind of
works, takes a bit of dressing up afterward)? I need it to cut stainless up
the 1/8". Thanks.

Try a marine store that sells SS rigging wire for sailboats- the blades 'capture'
the wire as it cuts

There is a special cable cutter you can buy from aviation tool supply
places. I just bought my third or fourth one (they keep walking away) and I
think it was about $40. The blades come together in a circular motion so
that they don't crush the cable but cut around it evenly. If you want, I'll
find the catalog and part number. I dont know of anything else that works
better.

Sharp Cold chisel against a steel block works very well. I have even seen a
wood chisel used but the edge doesn't last very long. Takes a sharp rap with
a hammer.

I used a dremmel with a cutoff wheel. This works good but you have to
separate the two cables with a scrap of alum so you don't cut strands on the
good cable. Oh yeah, wrap the piece to be cut in masking tape, this way the
strands don't "birdcage" on you. This worked for me on two projects.

1. Wrap the cable with masking tape were you plan to cut it.
2. Lay the cable on an anvil or other hard piece of thick steel.
3. Place a sharp cold chisel against the cable where you want to cut it.
4. Hit the chisel hard with a hammer.
5. Take the mashing tape off of the perfectly cut cable.

My two cents worth. When you arrive, volunteer.
Sit those hardworking boys down, give them beer
and hamburgers and thank them profusely for
putting the show on. Then go clean the latrine.

If anyone's interested I went to see the Mars

I use a dremel with a cut off wheel. Bought two tubes of the little
wheels and two arbors for a nominal sum. Got the dremels in pawn shops
for about $10 ea. Worth their weight in gold, especially for cable.
Harbor Freight cutters make a fair paper weight, not a good one though.

Gary,
Have you tried a sharp chisel with the cable laying on the anvil? Some say
this works great.

Hi Richard
Interested in that answer my self. I figure the tall wheels for ground
clearance tail up, and then fit the biggest diameter you can. The pitch is
the tough question as everyone seems to have a different way of measuring
it. I figure the engine should pull under cruise RPM static and will likely
spin faster in cruise. I'm planning to run my modified B on a dyno to find
the rpm that it produces a happy amount of power with out over revving it.
The slower rpm and higher torque of the Fords means they should be able to
swing a large diameter. The large thrust disk should blow some air back past
that draggy airframe. Grin!
Weigh in guys, what works here?
John Mc
P.S.
Good to see you on the list again Richard.

Well, I used the wood chisel (all I had) and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. I may
invest in the more expensive cutters if need be, maybe I can find them
locally.
Thanks to all of you who gave me some advice. This building an airplane is a
blast.
