Hi Chuck,
I'll put a hard copy of the file in your Pietenpol mailbox at the airport.

<< OUTSTANDING!! I'm printing this out and keeping it with my contruction
log & notes. Who is Mike Shuck? >>
Mike is based at Benton Airport, and we do some hanger talk at least once a
week. He just completed his RV6A, and has been flying it a lot. He'll be at
Oshkosh this year. Every time he sends me the stuff on airfoils, via e-mail,
for some reason my computer doesn't accept the graphic stuff, and the info is
very limited. Probably the settings I have, but I don't know how to alter
them. I downloaded what Ken sent, but it took 19 minutes...it worked, but no
graphics. I finally got to read his article. I just hope he doesn't start a
trend to change the Pietenpol Airfoil. Mike is a great 'Airplane type guy', with
a real sense of humor, very interested in aerodynamics (he also did an in
depth analysis of the Tailwind airfoil), and has been there when I needed a hand.
He has a web site on Yahoo, but you have to sign up with Yahoo to access it.
The web address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airfoil/files/
For his day job, he is a Doctor.

I am looking for recommendations on the "best" propeller for my Continental
A65 in my Pietenpol. From past postings it would seem that a 72" dia. x 42"
pitch has been used by some. Any comments please.
Next question can someone suggest a good place to buy a nice wooden one. I
just don't have the time to carve one myself.
One more thing, has anyone tried to install a small alternator belt driven
off the front of a A65. It seems to me that life might be considerably
easier and safer if a person could install a transponder and a strobe.
Various of the airports around here even the one used for training requires
a transponder, and when you are flying slow a strobe might save your life,
(keep some idiot from running over you). I am only building mine as a
single place so I can tolerate a little more weight.
Thx
Les

Poor old Gar doesn't seem to realize that in today's market nobody wants a Pietenpol
unless it has at least some GN-1 mods. An even bigger turn-off is it's model
"A" engine with the radiator that completely obstructs all forward vision.
I'll bet he doesn't even have wind tunnel data for the airfoil or an operator's
manual. Old time glue, solid spars, no center-section cut-out, probably built
strictly to-the-plans. Nobody with any level of sophistication at all would
even look twice at that thing.
Poor old Gar.

Hi,
Re your request for a prop maker.
Try Ed Sterba Aircraft Propellers, he has an ad in Sport Aviation. I got
mine from him and am satisfied with it and his price.

Try Hegy in Marfa, Tx. I'm pleased with the product as well as the $500
priced. 72X42 and only weighs 7 1/2 lbs.
