    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov> Corky--- Just happen to have my 6" solid rubber tailwheel and two leaf springs here at work. (gotta drill two holes at lunch time in the one new leaf.) I came up with 7 lbs. for the complete tailwheel/spring assy. so your 8 pounds sounds very close. Mike C.

    Subject: a neat note from John Grega's son.......
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov> guys-- I rec'd an off-list e-mail from John Grega's son R.J. the other day with this info he wrote cut and pasted below. I asked his permission to forward it to the group and he gave me the ok to do so. Michael, Looking thru the Pietenpol Digest I saw your question's posed to my brother-in-law Jim Vydra. I think I can better answer your questions. Dad started his GN-1 project early in 1958 and five years later 4705G was flying. Dad being a licensed pilot,test flew his first GN-1 utilizing a GN modified clip wing off a J-3 Cub for which the original fuselage design was intended. Simultaneously a fellow EAA'er,Andy Scinkovec of Bedford Hts.expressed his desire to build a GN-1 using the modernized Pietenpol wing. Dad and Andy finished this aircraft a few years later. Sorry can't remember the exact year, that was a while ago! Dad had to quit flying quit early because of his health, but always enjoyed sharing flying stories with other GN-1 builders. I don't know whatever happened to these two aircraft, I often wonder myself if their still flying! Regards, R.J. Grega Isn't that cool info ? There is so much written about Bernard Pietenpol, and rightly so but this contact with John Grega's son gives those builders some insight and background that I would think would be neat to know information. Please read R.J's response to my return e-mail below. I did run an FAA registration search for R.J. on his father's N4705G and that number now belongs to a Cessna somewhere in TX as I recall. R.J is aware of our discussion group/e-mail list and I believe still advertises and markets his father's plans. Read more from him below: Feel free to post that Email I sent you on the Pietenpol site, I know a lot of GN-1 ers would like to see it. Speaking of the GN-1 ers, I think they feel like their the odd man out in regards to information and help for them on the internet. With that in mind I ve decided to put together a GN-1 Aircamper web site. A site with some history, a forum, and some other things I have in mind. I hope to have the GN-1 Site up and running before the end of the year. If you don t mind you might put a plug in for it at the discussion group, I d appreciate it! Thanks again.

    Subject: Tailwheels
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Gadd, Skip" <Skip.Gadd@ssa.gov> John, Very nice job on the Piet, very clean work, I REALLY like your prop. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I want the leaf spring type tail wheel mainly because it gives me a bigger footprint, I also think it looks cool. Also this type of tail skid is on the original Flyer and Glider plans, all I'm doing is adding a wheel. Skip PS Oscar, thanks for the great report on Johns Piet.Anyone who hasn't checked out the below link, it is worth it. >John wrote; >I have been following the discussion re: tailwheels and can't understand why one should > >change the basic design of the original Pietenpol tail SKID. >Go to http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/John_piet.html where Oscar Zuniga posted some > >information on my tailwheel installation.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov> please do not archive For those of you who fly more closed cabin and do more radio work, do you have any recommendation for buying a new active noise reduction headset ? I like the reviews I've read on the Lightspeed line and Bose is over my head price-wise. I'd like to get something for flying closed cockpit, but noisy still and to do radio work. thank you to those who have been there, done that, Mike C.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: del magsam <farmerdel@rocketmail.com> --0-722680556-1065125672=:74664 Here is a couple of good options I've picked up from the sonex group Michael A link to some good ones: http://www.drecomm.com/6kservice.htm and the following is copied from the sonex list: ADVERTISEMENT Hi Don, as usual I am a bit late on reply. I was also looking into ANR headsets recently and had all the prices etc. I had narrowed it down to the Flightcom classic too, mostly based on price. But I have just installed a Headsets Inc kit into an old Altronics headset. I figured if I ruined the job it wouldn't cost much. I re-wired the entire headset because the cables were had it. It took a bit of time to draw up of the original wiring and make sure the kit would be wired properly but it isn't all that hard. The kit instructions are very clear. Anyway I tried it out the other day in my Dad's Minicab with Jabiru 2200 engine. It was fantastic. I would describe it as total elimination of any "booming" noise. You still hear the engine as well as a slight hiss. I turned it off to compare and eventually had to leave it on. So I am ordering another kit next week to put in my good Dave Clark headset. I will be wiring in a 12V to 9V regulator and supplying the ANR power directly rather than using batteries. You can get voltage converter kits at electronics stores. I am using an Xcom intercom with the Microair radio. I can only test in in the workshop at the moment but I am impressed. It allows a music and warning inputs too, so I have wired up for a CD player.

I used a 3 1/2" wheel I bought at Harbor Freight, removed the ball bearings from it, and used 'Oilite Brass Bearings' in the wheel, as well as in the pivot point of the steering. I used 1/16" cable all the way up to the inboard portion of the rudder bar. I ran these cables thru nylon tubing thru the back cockpit, about 1 1/2" from each side of the torque tube. Everything is working very well. Chuck G. full fuel for a week and a half, waiting for the chance to burn some...
