Thanks for posting the great pictures Jim....I wasn't able to make it this
year so the pics are much appreciated.....Congratulations on your Oshkosh
award Larry And thanks for the positive input on brazing ...I put a LOT of
effort into making my control parts as perfect as possible... to the
plans... just before all this brazing stuff came up on the list. They will
fly but the subject caused me alot of grief.

Great pics, Jim Markle. I just sent the Matronics photoshare a bunch that
I took at Brodhead, but they haven't posted them yet. I'll pass along the
link in another e-mail for everyone to take a look at as soon as he gets
them on-line.

I took quite a few pictures (don't you just love digital technology?).
Filled up a couple cd's.
I would be happy to burn a copy of each if anyone wants copies.
Just send me an sase CD mailer (if you want to send a couple blank cd's,
cool. but that's not necessary....).
Chuck G made an observation that I completely agree with.....it all went by
WAY too fast....

Thanks to all for the kind words. I don't know how or when EAA plans on telling
me that I won something but Skip sure is all over the web wringing things out
that are of interest to us all. Thanks, Skip.
Brodhead was great but if I NEVER fly into Oshkosh again it'll be too soon. Maybe
when a little time goes by and I can see things more objectively, I'll change
my attitude. I made it there and back safely and I can forever proclaim that
I flew the airplane I built to the "Big One". Give me Brodhead any day!
It was great to have Bill Rewey, Chuck Gantzer and Jim Markle to hang around with
at OSH. Sort of a support group of familiar faces. It was good to get to know
each of you a little better. Another listee who helped was Cy Galley by virtue
of being in charge of the maintenance compound that my airplane used for a
couple of hours.
The "A" never skipped a beat in all the 21 hours of time it took to go there and
back. I recorded 70 gallons of fuel burned. No worries!!! Gotta love it!
After two weeks of a barnstormer-like existence, I'm still trying to get back in
synch with my real life (or is it?). I just got back yesterday and can't seem
to get enough of the soft mattress and hot shower.
OK, enough rambling........ everyone should have it so good!
Thanks for the support-
Larry

Hey Brodheaders
Show a little sympathy for those who couldn't make it. Post your photos
or put them on Shutterfly a la Jim Markle. (Thanks Jim!)
Ken in Austin, wishing I could have made it there.

Jim,
I would like pictures and well send blank CDs also include a CD of the
pictures I took.
Also if anyone will send me a blank CD I will send my pictures to them as
well. All of mine are at Brodhead and I took a lot of close up pictures of
various details; tail feather, landing gears etc. I was going to post them
on my personal site but haven't got it done yet.
Thanks,

This list newbie was really surprised by Chuck Gantzer's comments re:
Saturday evening, because I had to leave before dinner. When I left
only one Piet was flying (Ken Perkins', with someone else at the
controls whose name I didn't get); the wind was tres' gusty and cross
which led me to assume that that was why no one else was flying, and
although I had to leave for other reasons was under the impression that
I had seen all of the action for the day anyway. Either the wind died
down a lot, (which of course often happens in the evening), or Piet
pilots can and are willing to fly in fairly trashy conditions. So which
is accurate? I'm hoping next year I'll be building one and I'll try not
to leave so soon!

Subject: | Flying Piets at Brodhead |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov>
Mark--- When most of us arrived at Brodhead on Friday the winds were very
strong out of the south. The airport at Brodhead has a long E-W runway and
two diagonals, both of which were X'ed out when I arrived. (I think they
do that to save lives of people on foot near the flight line and the
hangars to the south) Anyway, the winds were even worse on Saturday and
hardly anybody dared take to the air except for two Aeronca C-3's and one
gorgeous Heath Super Parasol AFTER they opened the SW runway up. About 30
minutes before sunset the winds diminished enough for most of us to get our
Piets in the air. It was still a bit bumpy but we just had to get some in
the air. Some gave rides, others just buzzed around high and low, fast and
slow. It wouldn't have been fair to the people on the ground had we not
been able to fly some that day. Thankfully, we were able to do some flying
at the last light of the day. Great fun !

Can anyone tell me why there are copper Nicopress sleeves and zinc plated
Nicopress sleeves? Are they for specific applications? If so, what are they?
I think I heard about stainless steel cable needing a different type of sleeve.
Is this what the zinc ones are for?
Some where (I think it was in AC43-13) I also read a vague reference that left
me thinking certain sizes of Nicopress sleeves do not use/need the 3 compressed
sections. Is this true?
Also what type of bolt/pin do you use in shackles (AN115-21) and the fork end
(AN161) of a turnbuckle. Are there special pins or do you just use a bolt? Do
shackles come with a pin/bolt or do I have to order them separately?
Figure I would bite the bullet and buy the stuff now, even though I dont need
it. I doubt that in the future the prices will be going down so it makes sound
financial sense to buy now not later (well thats the excuse I am using but in
reality I just want to buy them to have around when I need them in the way far
off distant future). I wish my body could build as fast as my mind can. At
that rate, Id of built three or four planes by now, mistake free of course.
One nice thing about building so slow is your airplane building fund can grow
into a nice little sum of money. Almost enough to buy 35 turnbuckles..now
that is depressing.

the zinc plated nicopress sleeves are for stainless cables. copper would be used
for galvanized.
As for pins/bolts on fork ends. You can do it either way. I am using clevis pins
with washers and cotter pics to secure my forks, but short AN bolts with lock
nuts would work equally well.

You can't use lock nuts with the shackles. But you can use cotter keys
with a drilled shank bolt with a castle nut. A nylock nut is not approved
as the bolt can rotate.
Just about 100% of the applications use a clevis pin and cotter key. The
hardware supplier should be able to tell you what size clevis is normally
used with the specific size of shacle you are using.

Larry,
Happy to hear about your award at Oshkosh and your comments about you
reactions.
Didn't make to Brodhead for the first time in 7 years; it appears thar I
missed a 'good'one. Hopefully next year.
Trying to do the color coat painting but its been, hot , wet and humid.
Went over to see Bud Roger's "A" ; he has it in his prototype SE-5
fuselage. I was impressed, he had it turning a 76 x 42 prop at over 2500
RPM. I think the dual Solex carbs and the modified cam are adding to the
performance significantly. He has a dual ignition which is currently
using two coils and a Mazda 8 wire distributer.
What kind of a mag are using in your A ?
Regards,
Lou

Chris,
Don't know if you have the Aircraft Spruce catalog or not , but it has all
that little data, with charts and graphs. If you go onto their site and
follow the links for a free catalog, you get a fresh new one. No strings.
I've gotten more than one and some for all my friends .
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/index.php
matter of fact, the catalog prompt is on this page.

I WAS interested in gyroplanes, til I stumbled across the Pietenpol
Aircamper on the Internet. That was a month ago.
...placed my order yesterday for the aircamper plans and the builder's
manual on the Pietenpol family website. Figured it would be here by now...
Should have this thing whipped together in a week or two (hundred).
I'm also looking forward to Mike Cuy's video. I'll probably be hanging
aroud here alot, too, since the most I've ever done with wood before is
replacing the slats on my fence. Hopefully your collective knowledge and
my patience (see above for example) and willingness to "redo" will
compensate for my lack of experience. I'm looking forward to this new
journey.
