    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "John McNarry" <jmcnarry@escape.ca> Stefan Try the Recreational Aircraft Association www.raa.ca on the net I have heard that the Piet will fit into the advanced UL category but it also seems to me that advanced UL prevents owner maintenance. Better check it out. John -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Stefan Vorkoetter Subject: Pietenpol-List: Canadian Advanced Ultralight --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Stefan Vorkoetter <stefan@capable.ca> Does anyone know if a Piet qualifies as an Advanced Ultralight (AUL) in Canada (similar in spirit to the proposed Sport Pilot category in the US, only we've already had it for years). If so, does anyone know if the inspection requirements (and costs) for a homebuilt AUL are any different than those of a homebuilt "airplane". Stefan Vorkoetter

    Subject: Brodhead impressions from a newbie
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "baileys" <baileys@ktis.net> Hello everyone, I just recently joined the group and this is my first posting. This my third trip to Brodhead. The last was over 5 years ago. (I kind of dropped out of flying after the engine was stolen out of my Piper, but that is another story) Anyway, I have been smitten by the Piet for years and now that I'm retired plan to do something about it. There were two Corvair powered Piets, one of them being the "Last Orginial" NX899H. The other one had "Brown Aero" on the fuselage. I did not get to talk with either owner, there were so many people asking questions. While at Brodhead I purchased William Wynn's book, "Corvair Flight Engines for use in Experimental Aircraft", Three Tee shirts, two cast aluminum rocker covers and a Corvair engine. The Hoopman family donated Orrins personal collection of Pietenpol Newsletters, Sport Avaitions and newsletters from the Internation Pietenpol Association to anyone that wanted them. They were on a table and while I would like to have taken them all, I only took three. One nice thing is that they were addressed to Orrin Hoopman. I get a copy BAP issue 31 - 1st quarter 1991 which featured an article by B.H. Pietenpol about the Corvair engine conversion. There are no pictures included but if anyone would like a copy please send me an off list e-mail with their snail mail address. As long as the volume is not too high they are free if it gets to be too much I'll ask a for a buck. You will still need to get the instructions from Don Pietenpol but the article is interesting anyway. Mike Cuy's Piet was there and it is truly a beautiful aircraft. Mike Cuy and Lowell Frank were the only two Piet owners that I was able to speak with and both were very courteous and gave thoughtful answers. I took about 200 hundred pictures mostly of Piets but some of the antique aircraft at the show. After I get them oganized I will post them on my web site. Many pictures show details like landing gear closeups, model "A" engines, Corvair engines, instrument panels and so fourth and probably won't be of much interest to anyone except builders. I did get several different cockpit door pictures from two different Corbins and the Heath Parsol from the inside showing construction details. I'm going to have to put a door in the front cockpit because wife has arthritus in her knees and won't be able to get in otherwise. William Wynn's seminar on the Corvair conversion was very interesting, as was Larry Hudson's converted Corvair engine which was displayed in the pavilion for several hours while Larry patiently answered questions. Again it was too crowed to get an overall picture, but I did get a few showing some details, prop hub, starter etc. My advice to anyone going to Brodhead that must drive through Beloit is be well prepared ahead of time. I got directions from Yahoo which were wrong, I stopped and got directions at a store which were wrong also. Finally I bought a map and the clerk at that store gave me perfect directions. I didn't need the map but got it anyway out of gratitude. I arrived at the airport after dark, too late to try and put up my tent so spent the first night in my car. After while, pain becomes somewhat of a sedative and I did get some sleep. In the morning two very nice gentleman from the UK helped me put up my tent. Actually, I think they took pity on me. Anyway, never put up a tent for the first time in public, practice doing it somewhere private until you know what to do. All in all everyone was very polite I had a great time, met some truly nice people, learned a lot and am ready to come back next year. One thing I heard someone say is that they flew over Oshkosh, threw out their billfold then and came on to Brodhead. Regards, Bob Bailey P.S. Sorry this got to be so long, sometimes I get carried away. I hope no one minds and I promise to keep the stupid questions to a minimum. I plan to do the engine conversion and make all the metal parts first.

Post the web site for them when you get them ready for viewing. I have a Corvair about ready to run and have the long fuselage glued up. Retirement jobs keeps me from doing as much as I would like.

    Subject: First Flight
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Seibert Bob-r18643 <Bob.Seibert@motorola.com> On Saturday 26 July 2003 Pietenpol N23TX finally took to the sky. This thing is so different from an RV it's almost shocking! First flight was about 15 minutes - It flew OK I guess but was out of rig so I didn't try any slow flight/stalls. Lesson learned ...shrinking the ceconite really can twist those flying surfaces! Shortened the right rear strut .4 inches and raised the HS leading edges by adjusting the brace wires. Yesterday, with the re-rigging complete it went back up and we had a ball just buzzing around all over the Taylor Texas skies! Luke Skiles flew chase for me with his Heath Parasol so I have a witness that this Piet actually does 90+ mph. (It sure doesn't like it though - feels like it needs boosted controls at that speed!) Stalls are sub 40 only I was too nervous to try to watch gauges too closely. At 1750 rpm and 70-75 indicated it's just a joy to fly around in! It's about like looking out of a helicopter only much neater sounding! I just flew around until the sinking gas gage said it was time to go back to Macho Grande Field. Despite my ham-handed techniques, it lands very nicely. (3 landings now and only went off in the weeds once) Another lesson learned... Don't wear your good baseball cap in an open cockpit plane! My favorite one is going to wind up in some cow's hay bale lunch! Just ordered a cloth helmet and goggles today. My hair hurts :-)!!! Everybody just keep sawing and gluing. It is really worth the effort to fly such a unique airplane! Brodhead next year???? Regards, Bob Seibert NX23TX

Nice to see you on the list. I enjoyed meeting you at Brodhead and talking about various things. I'll send along the metal fuselage info I promised as soon as I get a chance to dig it out. BTW, I want to publicly give Gene Rambo a huge 'Thank You' for stopping off in OH and giving me a lift to Brodhead in his Aztec - truly the 'heavy metal' at Brodhead this year:). I can't thank Gene enough, because without the ride, I would not have beeen able to be there this year. Also, a big thanks to Ken Perkins (& his unknown pilot) for hopping rides in his beautiful orange Piet - my first ride in an 'A' powered one. I also enjoyed meeting all of you on this list who previously were only names on the screen. Hope to see you all again next year! Kip Gardner North Canton, OH

They would also be able to tell you where to get the risers. I'm your equivilent of your A&P here in Australia and the calibration company provides us with lost risers. # 1 riser = 1/16", # 2 riser =3/32" and 1/8", # 2C = 5/32" and 3/16".

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: javier cruz <javcr@yahoo.com> Hi friends About the cables tension, remember that the Piet have a little problem with the geometry on the first stage for elevators, if you adjust the tension on the neutral position, when you move the control, the adjust is lose, i don't install the ailerons cables yet, but it seems to be right. If someone have the correct geometry please advice to the group.. Saludos de Mexico Javier Cruz __________________________________ http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: clif <cdawson5854@shaw.ca> You could simply hold them together with fingers at cross. Twang both at the same time and adjust until Wa-Wa sound stops and you have a continuous clean note. Get an old guitar player to show you if you're not sure. The new guys all use those electronic tuners and might not know the old way. Sort of like learning navigation with a GPS without learning dead reckoning and map reading. Use the "hold one away" trick when equalizing the front left and front right and do the same thing. The farther apart the tension, the faster the wa-wa. As you get closer they lengthen out, waaa-waaa, waaaaa-waaaaa, etc until the notes are the same. This assumes that the vibrating mass is the same for both " strings"which is not really possible but certainly close enough for our purposes. Clif PS, Know any guitar,fiddle,banjo players that might trade a ride for twanging? I'd bet they'd get a kick out of " tuning " an airplane! ----- Original Message ----- From: <Waytogopiet@aol.com> > Isablcorky@aol.com writes: > > > Just pull the other cable out of the way so the cable will vibrate it's > > full > > amplitude. > > > >

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: clif <cdawson5854@shaw.ca> Hi Stefan, As an RAA member I just posted a message on the RAA list asking for info. I wouldn't hold out much hope though. All I've seen so far is for full kits and completed aircraft that have been inspected at the company level for compliance with the rules. No owner made changes allowed at all. If the plane is squirrely on floats or with an enclosed cabin you cannot add fins or plates to the tail without certification from the factory which has to have the mod passed by the powers that be. Ditto engines. If it's either the cost of personal licencing or medical concerns, you could go to the recreational pilot permit. The only thing with that is that you can't fly to the States( like maybe Oshkosh or Broadhead ) as it's a permit, not a licence.
