Gene, I'm not flying yet but went through every issue of the BPAN back to
1982 and wrote down every mention of prop dimensions for the Model A. The
concensus by far was a 78/42. On the basis of this I ordered that size from
Chad Wilie (sp?) and was pleased with the quality. I am turning 1650 static
and anticipate 18-1900 in the air. Don Hicks

I went to it last year, and will probably go again this year.
Champaign/Urbana is only about 3 hrs or so by car from my house and it
is a neat town and it is inexpensive. Lot of bang for the buck.
Frasca has a neat museum there with loads of airplane stuff,
engines, collectables, motorcycles etc.Not to mention their factory
tours where they make their flight simulators.
There were about 18 tailwinds there and several Baby Ace's, Super
Aces, Junior Aces which resemble a Piet from a distance. They have steel
tube frames and the Super Ace is side by side enclosed. There were other
planes including a minimax and some biplanes which I cannot remember
what, but I think Hatz. It was a very good fly in, highly recommend it
if nearby, more like Brodhead than OshKosh.
They had several forums, William Wynne was one, but was early
saturday morning and I missed his talk, but found him later. There was
also a guy there who took digital photos of the planes and stuff and
burned them on CD's, printed the labels, stuck them on and sold them on
the spot. Which was interesting of itself.
Camping is primitive, showers available at the factory. All for a
donation.

Before I put saw to streamline tubing I just want to confirm the proper
length for the cabane struts. I thought that the conventional wisdom is to
lengthen them 2" from the drawings, but someone recently mentioned
lengthening them 3" or 4". I have also heard someone mention that there is
a maximum that should not be exceeded. What are the proper numbers??

Gene
I went 2" over, glad I did. Another inch would have been helpful, but in
Sport Aviation a couple of months ago there was a Piet that was built 4"
over. I don't know, I think that started stretching the porportional eye
appeal. Thats only my opinion.

Gene,
I am 6' tall, and lengthened mine 2". From the left side I have to lift my
right foot to the seat, with both hands on the cabane struts,bring the left
foot up over, and streatch way out over the right side to get my foot up over
the longeron, while dragging my back on the bottom of the wing. It has
become very easy for me to get in and out, taking only a few seconds.
