Where do most builders mount the pitot tube on an Aircamper? I am aware of the vane type airspeed indicator and I plan to incorporate one (mainly for nostalgic purposes), but I'm also installing a nicely rebuilt conventional, modern airspeed indicator. If left to my own devices, I would mount it on the leading edge of the left wing, but I wonder about the subtleties that are not obvious. Any comments?...Carl Vought ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:29:00 AM PST US From: "David Paulsen" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brake Disc Assembly Dear List, I bought Michael Cuy's video and saw that Michael used go-cart brakes on his Piet. I've found a web site Mowerzone@smallengines.CC - which has a Disc Brake Assembly that looks like it might work. But I'm not sure if it's big enough. The description says it's for use on riding lawn mowers, mini-bikes and snowmobiles. It costs less than $13.00 /brake. It looks right to me, but before I order I would like to hear from someone who may have some experience with this. Thanks - Dave Paulsen in Missouri ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:29:03 PM PST US From: "walt evans" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brake Disc Assembly Dave, I used the drum brakes. 5" (I think) They are plenty to do runup and hold on the taxiway. Always heard horror stories of nose over. Got mine here,,, http://www.apskarting.com/ Guess they still have them. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: David Paulsen To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 1:31 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brake Disc Assembly Dear List, I bought Michael Cuy's video and saw that Michael used go-cart brakes on his Piet.

I count 30 total ribs needed for the 3 piece wing, including 6 end ribs with the extra braces. Thanks ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:49:55 PM PST US From: "DJ Vegh" Subject: Pietenpol-List: dihedral - how much? --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" For those of you with 3 piece wings.... what dihedral angle are you running? The GN-1 plans give no indication of how much. I'm going to make my lift struts next Wednesday and need to determine dihedral before then.

If so how much?

I think you will get the most accuracy in this location. John Pieters: I hope I'm not bringing up a worn out subject, but I've run a couple of searches with no results.
