If anyone is interested , I just updated my web site with some more engine
pics. DJ, did you "Helicoil" any of your cylinder studs? If so, did you do
them yourself of have a machine shop do them? Just wondering how difficult
they are to do!

Walt,
Roux: 50% butter, 50% flour. Zap the butter and mix in the flour.
Helps make the gravy not lumpy.

We NEVER use butter for roux. Bacon drippings are best, cooking oil next
best. If you promise not to use butter I will send you my recipe.

Slowly but surely getting started. I'm contemplating two spar designs.
I've read the books, articles and archives, but would appreciate any group
comments. Which design would be stronger? 1st - solid spruce, or, 2nd -
built up I beam, utilizing spruce edged with 1 x spruce strips, both
sides, top and bottom, glued and not nailed.
Thanks!

John,
I'd be happy to send you some goodies but not on the list. For everyone who
would like that I would get 10 who wouldn't so let's just keep the list to Piet
stuff and all who would like those good old cajun recipes write me or Jim
Cooper. His wife Edna I'll bet has a lot of them. She is from La but Isabelle is

Ken,
I did not helicoil any studs... I did have 4 of them that did not meet the
proper 10-35 ft. lb torque so I took them out and replaced them with .003"
oversize studs.
Clarks sells oversize studs in .003" and .006" Try the .003 first if you
still cannot meet torque get the .006. They aren't cheap though......
about $12 a stud.
I would avoid helicoiling. Only helicoil if the stud holes have really bad
threads... if it's just one or two that need to be helicoiled then do it
yourself.... any more than that and a machine shop would be my suggestion.

You're right again Gene.
I'm using a tailwheel, so I'll have to check the laminated spring for
sideloads/torquing in addition to shock. Maybe I'll just repeatedly kick
the heck out of it from the side.

Subject: | center section fuel tank security |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Douwe Blumberg" <douweblumberg@earthlink.net>
When securing the tank in the center section with straps over the top, I've become
concerned with the fact that nothing is holding the tank from falling out
the bottom except the wood structure. The plans call for tabs on the tank which
is frowned upon how because of fatigue cracks. Any thoughts out there on the
strength of that wood structure or should I figure out a strap system that
completely encloses the tank top and bottom?

Check the prints, there are wood strips fore and aft that the tank sits on.

I made a full-width flanges front and rear (integral with the tank) to sit on
the spars. Gave some thought to the possibility of fatigue and decided that
it would be minimized by spreading the load across the full width of the tank.
It is certainly an area that will get ongoing attention. Also added full width
stiffeners 1/8th " X 1" with T-88 at the front and rear junction between the
plwood and the spar bottom.

Chris,
All I know is....don't plan on doing it yourself unless you have a good manual
on it, a 10X magnifying glass, and some micro-surgical tools. After I sucessfully
tinkered with some other instruments, I decided to pull apart my inoperative
sensitive altimeter (AN 5760-4B) to see if I could find what was rattling
around inside. The thing was assembled like a swiss watch inside.... umpteen
little tiny gears on very close tolerance spindles. I found the loose parts and
managed to get them replaced in their intended location. But I had not one
clue how all the gears were supposed to be syncronized. The whole thing was
an engineering marvel. If you find someplace to repair yours, please let me know.

If I could find a recipe for those zebra mussels we have in Lake Erie, I

I've helicoiled studs (and plug sockets) in Corvair motors. They worked fine.
The only caution I would offer is to examine the length of the helicoil
inserts you're using vs the thread length of the original stud. If need be,
use two and stack them. I had to repair one motor because a previous owner
helicoiled a stud using only one and it pulled out. Not a fun day.

I just want to make it clear that I'm not saying heli-coils will not
work.... I was saying that a .003 or .006 oversize stud is MUCH easier in
most circumstances.

Douwe,
I had the same concerns and devised a strap system to support the tank and
keep the weight off the plywood. My tank holds 15 gallons, which is 90 lbs.
at 1 G. At the 4 G's or so the wing is good for, that would be 360 lbs,
which seems a lot to ask of a sheet of thin plywood.

When securing the tank in the center section with straps over the top, I've
become concerned with the fact that nothing is holding the tank from falling
out the bottom except the wood structure. The plans call for tabs on the
tank which is frowned upon how because of fatigue cracks. Any thoughts out
there on the strength of that wood structure or should I figure out a strap
system that completely encloses the tank top and bottom?

Hey Chris,
Guess you could do a whiskey compass overhaul if you feel the need to remove
screws from an old instrument! ;-) -- no gears to worry about!

Chris,
Sounds like the beginnings of making a non-working altimeter into a
non-working JUNK altimeter.
Even though Gene and I have disagreed on some things over the past 20 years
I have to side with
him on this one. Keystone is probably the only people that will even attempt
to help you on that one.
I'd say screw Gene and send it to me but after a last minute shopping spree
last week in the "special
drawer" he has at the house I don't need any old instruments now. Just hope
I can get them mounted
before he takes inventory.

No, I wont be taking it apart, but it's killing me not to know why it isn't
working. I know it's a somewhat rare object and I can't believe I was
fortunate enough to end up with it. So I will be shopping around to see how
much it will cost to repair and go from there. Hopefully I can afford to keep
it.
