Another "advantage" of having the Cub type "V" that I have heard is that
it helps carry the front wing strut loads. I don't know if that is
valid, but I do know that on some Pietenpols the thin strip of steel that
goes across the fuselage bottom at the front wing struts becomes bulged
out because of landing loads. The ash cross member apparently compresses
enough to cause this.

I was told by an old guy at Brodhead several years ago that the 1934
plans
gear could spring "past center" and that is why it is good to use the Cub
style gear using the V shaped cabane. Don't know if this is just Piet
lore,
but he claimed to have seen it happen on 9-27 at Brodhead.
If you look at either type gear, from in front of the plane, there is a
triangle formed where one side is the spring leg. The plans triangle has
a
bigger aspect ratio and I think that makes its spring leg have to work
harder, and therefore not as efficient, that is why I chose the Cub style
design.
The SAA flyin was great, as Dennis said two Corvair Piets to ogle.

If this stinking rain on the east coast doesn't stop by tomorrow, I'll be putting
on my indian garb , and be doing the "Drought Dance" up and down runway 6/24
at Newton Airport! (it's been raining for a week!)
This will include loin cloth and all! And believe me,,,It won't be a pretty
sight!
Just fair warning for all.

Pieters, One of you must have experienced what I went through this afternoon.
Opening and trying to clean a long dormant A-65 carb. With drills and e-z
outs I finally performed the necessary surgery. HOWEVER, what can one use, beg,
borrow, steal or buy to clean that varnish and the carb itself?

MEK or lacquer thinner works well. Spray can of carb cleaner also works.

Doug,
Been so long since in military I forgot about Gunk but I still remember the
smell. Think I have an aerosol can on a shelve somewhere. Thanks for your
reply. That carb should shine like a new dime tomorrow
