Here's the goods on the prop (I bought it anyway, even
if it wont work on my plane, it's absolutely
gorgeous!):
On one side it has printed:
42
A 82 46 CC 249
Experimental
Felix Propellers, Inc.
It's all-natural wood finish, beautiful grain, blank
painted tips.
If this wont work on my Piet, I'll sell it off again.
Anyone?
Richard

What do you do when you are stuck with babysitting a new puppy who naps for
2 hrs. right in the middle of your Saturday morning? I was faced with
channel-surfing, reading a book, or napping- then I decided to pop in Mike
Cuy's video even though I've already seen it a few times before. Glad I
did!!! I had forgotten how much valuable information is on the tape, as
Mike talks you through all the construction details and different things to
watch for, and shows a whole bunch of photos of other Piets and details on
those planes too. Of course the in-flight footage is what really ices the
cake... and I know every time I watch the video I see something else: the
control surface movements, the cable travel, the attitude in each maneuver,
whatever- it's all good. If you don't have the video, get it. If you know
of a Piet builder who isn't on the list here and who doesn't have the video-
make it a birthday present for him/her. What a great way to spend time in
front of the tube, and what a great contribution to Pietenpol building.

Jim,
Now thats the kind of comments I like. Whether you would do the same is not
in consideration. I like the idea of arm rest and I will have room for them.
I can see a left arm rest angled so the arm is comfortable on the throttle. A
very important point to me. thanks for the idea. I have felt that 41CC is a
bit confined. A possibility that Mr. Piet wanted to get two cuts from one 4X8
piece of plywood. Maybe not, but I got my 1/4 inch fir marine grade from
Wickes for about $45. That's the cheap end of building an aeroplane.
Thanks again for your comments

Hey All
Now that the warmer weather is coming to Mn. I can work with the hangar door open.
I get a constant stream of visitors stopping by to chew the fat. It's another
side benefit of having a Piet.
Anyway, today a A&P stopped by and made a couple of comments I thought worth passing
on. He commented first on my placement of the gascolator on the firewall.
He suggested that I move it so that at rest it was lower that the carb bowl
at rest, to be the lowest point in the system. Also, he suggested to do a fuel
flow test to verify that at rest, the fuel line provides a flow of 10 gal/hr.
with minimum usable fuel remaining in the tank to simulate adequate flow for
a go around. Also an extended test of the flow to verify adequate venting
of the tank.
Just a couple of points I don't recall having seen on the list.

It is a good idea to do your flow test at max climb angle. If you ever
ended up making a go around after a missed approach with low tanks it might
be the factor that saves your #####.

Good points, Dick.
Another point to mention when choosing a spot to mount the gascolator on the
firewall - while it needs to be lower than the carb float chamber so it is
the fuel system's lowest point, it also should NOT be the lowest point on
the firewall. There should be structure lower than the gascolator so that
if a really bad landing wipes the gear off, the gascolator is not the point
that the sliding fuselage is resting upon. Otherwise, it will be destroyed
in a hurry and all that fuel will be deposited right where the friction has
gotten things really hot. Not good, but spectacular.
