1.2 BANG_MORE BODY: Talks about more with an exclamation!
Maybe I've had one too many Coronas trying to stay cool down here in Texas
near the Mexican border this August, but I'm so thirsting (I mean trusting) of
this Air Camper family that I'm willing to mail your Build Your Own Pietenpol
shirt first, then receive payment. (My wife says I can no longer use the bed in
the guest room to store my BYOP shirts on... (Whew, I'm glad she didn't say
anything about the Coronas!) "OUT THEY GO," says management!
If you will e-mail me your physical address and advise what size shirt you
wear, I'll mail the shirt. Thus, my reasoning for SHIRT FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS
LATER.
I'll include with your shirt, and a self-addressed, prepaid Knot-2-Shabby
Airport & Texas Longhorn Cattle Ranch envelope for you to return your payment in.
The total cost for shirt, D.J. Vegh's artist royalty fee for the Air Camper
drawing, shipping, tax, title and license (or "the whole enchilada" as we say
in Texas) is $12.75.
In lieu of $12.75, you can send 6 ice cold Coronas.
*********************** BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! *********************
Provide a picture of your attractive face, and I'll also send you a TACO ID
card with your 100% cotton BYOP shirt. The TACO ID card is so authentic looking
(when you have it laminated at KINKOS in your town) you might get past
security at the next EAA fly in, or at least you can crash the next TACO meeting.
This offer void where prohibited by law, or a mean wife.
Batteries not included.
Some restrictions apply.
Must be over 21 to qualify.
Not valid outside the contiguous continental United States.
Residents of the state of Arkansas must make payment in advance.

Oscar,
I can tell you that having anhedral (opposite of dihedral) certainly will make
a believer out of anyone. Full stall landings were a challenge even without a
cross-wind and performing a stall would always result in a wing dropping off.
I finally stretched a string from tip to tip and discovered that they were lower
than the center section. Can't really speak for a straight wing because
I haven't measure every plane I've flown but those with a small amount of dihedral
(appearance) seemed to handle better.
I think I read, heard or dreamt that Mr. Pietenpol had two guys lift up on the
wing tips when taking his measurements for his struts and thus ended up with a
small amount of dihedral with the "flat" one-piece wing.

Greg,
My memory, from some of the forums that Vi Kaplar (sp.?) gave several
years ago, was to raise the rear spar 3/8 inch, out at its end. He said
that BHP liked to rig his with no washout, which gives a slightly sharper
stall. He likened it to the way a luscombe will stall, in contrast to a
cub.

Can anyone out there enlighten me/us as to the physical difference between
one magneto marked "right hand" and another marked "left hand"??? I know
that's a dumb question, but sometimes one has to expose his ignorance in
order to eradicate it. My understanding is that both mags turn the same
direction. On a slightly different track: can a mag marked "LH" be reworked
to a "RH" configuration?....Carl Vought/Huntsville, AL

On a Continental and most other aircraft engines...theres no difference....except
one fires the bottom and the other fires the top plugs. If you have an engine
with staggered timing...the mags are still the same...just one is "clocked"
at a slightly different angle. Perhaps some uninformed mechanic marked them
this way thinking there was some difference.

they are a smaller cubic inch and the crank is less beefy, so it just makes sense
to use a later engine as long as you are going to do it. for more power and
a stronger engine of the same weight.

Usually, the left hand mag has an impulse coupling that retards the
spark timing for starting. This is normally evident by an additional
mechanism on the drive end.

It's not that they aren't suitable, but the later models produce much more
power for the same weight.
Bernie used a '60 because back in '60 when he did it it was pretty hard to
come across a '65. They were awfully rare. :)
The 60-64's are lower horsepower versions. The main difference being the
stroke is shorter giving less displacement.
Starting in '64 some engines were the larger 164cu.in. Then from '65 on
they are all 164cu.in.
It makes no sense to build an early engine for 2 reasons that come to mind
right off the bat.
1. Horsepower - why go with less horsepower for the same weight as a more
powerful engine???
2. Engine parts - I do not believe there is an OT-10 cam available for the
smaller engine nor is there any forged pistons. ( I would never fly behind a
corvair with stock cast pistons.)
Expect to get no more than 60hp or so to the prop on an early model and near
100hp on a late model. (at the RPMs a Piet swings a prop)

Something to add about magnetos,,,Since the "flat" gear on the Eisemann
magneto is so expensive, for the impulse side, my Mentor built me a mag with
an impulse and the "deep" gear. Then he made a collar with "fits" the
thickness of the difference, so everything would run true.
Just needed two gaskets and long studs to secure it.
It's fine on an Experimental, and works great. Now with 50 or so hours on
the engine, it starts with a simple flip with the left mag selected.
PS Think the flat gear is over $500.00 retail, while the deep gear is a
dime a dozen.

Hi.
Two things - there is the right and left magneto on the engine
(obviously). However, the RH and the LH does not refer to this, if I
understand correctly. This is actually the direction of spin of the
magneto. Both mags on the engine will be either RH or LH, because you
are correct - they both spin the same direction. Inside the mag, there
will be two sets of timing marks on the distributor gear, and one will
be marked RH and the other LH. The internal timing is set differently.
I am not sure if the timing is the only difference - there may be other
small physical changes. What type of mag are you working with? I may
be able to look it up, as we have a number of books at the A&P school
that I attend.

In a word, more Power. The later engines 1964 and later are 164 cubic inches.
1964 kinda being the oddball year with early style heads and the long stroke.
1961 to 1963 are 145 and the 1960 engines are 140. The primary difference is
Stroke. The cases are all the same. Pistons are different from small to large
due to pin height. Barrels will interchange (1960 to 1964) if you notch the
bottom of the barrel to clear the crank. Early barrels with late heads need
to have the head shimmed to fit the barrel. Late barrels will not work with
early heads. The engine that you should be looking for is a 110 Horsepower.
There were lots made and are readily available. Find some one in your area that
is a member of CORSA ( the corvair club) or that owns corvairs and they will
probably steer you in the right direction. Older country salvage yards might
even have one. By the way CORSA does have a web site with a classified section.

I am just curious as to why the '60-'64 Corvair engines are considered
unsuitable for airplanes. Didn't Bernie use a '60 Corvair engine?

| Subject: | hinged / removable turtledeck |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "tmbrant1@netzero.net" <tmbrant1@netzero.net>
Dale Johnson and I were discussing a hinged turtledeck at Brodhead. He suggested
I build this into the my piet to facilitate inspection of cable connections
and such from the top of the airplane. I was thinking about it and wondering
if it couldn't just be completely removable. I'm thinking, instead of using
stringers, make the turtledeck shape out of 1/16th or 1/8" ply and have it attach
with several bolts along the top longerons. Just a thought. I'd seen Dick
Navratrils new peit under construction and he made his turtledeck this way -
except not detatchable to my knowledge.
Any thoughts?

Tom
Mine is not detachable. I like the idea of a hinged seat back for
inspection better. Its all a matter of personal choice, but I like the
smooth appearance of the fuse.
