--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan)
To whomever ti was going to build the plans "sprung gear", I 'd like to
suggest making the shock struts J-3 style by turning the lower bungee
cross tube 90 degrees to the top one, then spacing it the same distance
from the top tube as on the J-3 and buying the factory made shock rings
from AS & S etc. Stories are that the 6' of bungee cord is a real pain
to install and get both sides equally tensioned. I made a tool to put
rings on TriPacer shocks. Less than 10 min to install 4 rings. Last
night I went to our EAA mtg, and one of the members reported attending a
Piper forum by Clyde Smith who is a guru of fabric covered Pipers.His
latest word is to NOT powder coat anything steel. He says the coating is
so hard ( non flexing ) that it develops cracks letting moisture in
causing corrosion. He reported a failure of a part that everyone thought
should have lasted forever under powder coating. Something else to worry
about. Leon S.

Newsletters and trim? That's an odd combination.....
First the newsletters:
There have been several really good suggestions for getting the newsletters
scanned/converted/copied to CD, etc. And thanks! I definitely agree that
having the info available on CD would just be fantastic. I did try the
process a while back and scanned a few random pages. Those are available on
mykitplane.com. That's really the best way I think. Having them available
on CD is a great idea!
Since I'm in the enterprise software business, I have no shortage of HW or
software for scanning/converting.....I just need the time to do it (or the
money to pay to have it done).
And being in the Pietenpol building business, I have no shortage of
tasks/expenses for completing my project......I just put a VERY high value
on the time I get to do it......
So scanning/converting "ain't gonna happen" in Plano...... :-)
But I'll gladly make a set available to whoever would like to take on the
task (and share a copy of the resulting CD!).
Keep in mind that even with a couple of missing issues (I found 3 missing
issues, there may be 1 or 2 more missing), there are AT LEAST 300 DOUBLE
SIDED pages containing issues #1 from July 1983 through issue #63
"2ndQuarter 1999".
So let me know who's willing to "step up" and I'll get the copies on the way
to you.....
Now the trim:
I've attached a picture of how one builder (Dennis Hall, I think) did the
trim. I know this has been discussed at length but I thought our group
might find a picture of interest....as I recall, Dennis mentioned that when
he painted (or powdercoated) the tube, the "trim" didn't stay in place quite
as well...it kept sliding back down....just a friction fit....something to
keep in mind.

Anybody got a place to put them if I can get them scanned?
I have the set that was put together by Mike Bell in 2001. I also have
access to copiers with Xerox FlowPort software installed (scan the doc, get
a pdf in the email). A few issues a day would not be a problem.
Are there any copyright issues/do we have permission?

Wow, that would be great John!
If you can do that, I'll be glad to copy them to CD and distribute them.
Checking a little more carefully, looks like I'm only missing issues 34 &
38.
I also have originals of issues 50-54 & 57 available (thanks to Max Davis).
The copies I got from Mike Bell a couple years ago were 3rd or 4th
generation....certainly usable but minimal quality.
If you'll send me your address (offline, please) I'll send you a good set of
copies of the above issues to include in the conversion.
Not sure if your set is like mine or closer to original quality, but using
originals (or close to originals) would sure be the way to go!
Thanks!

Leon,
He is using the wrong powder. He needs to use a semi bridging urethane
based powder.
He is obviously using an epoxy which is too brittle, like porcelin enamel,
and has no bridging ability. It will also chalk with exposure to the sun.

Hendersons Pietenpol and I am talking with Joe Santana
about that very same airplane, which is for sale. I
know this video is not available but maybe someone has
a copy of it. (I have copy of Mike Cuy's very fine
video.) I would also like any contact info for Howard

Sadly I don't have 34 or 38, I do have original 50,52,53 and 57. ill
scan them. What if each person on the list converted a few to PDF from
originals and emailed them to someone that can compile them. ( this
person does not have to convert) this will spread the cost in time and
money around. And not everyone has every issue.
I will start with issues 50, 52, 53, 56, and 57.
Any takers?

What you say might well be true, but I lost a Honda to rust that formed
under the power coat. My Buick is showing the same rusting symptoms under
the powder coat. I suppose that wouldn't be so bad except on both cars it
was on the rear suspension links. The attach point for a panhard link broke
off on the Honda and the read differential rusted thru so let the gear lube
out. Now I understand that the corrosion exposure is much greater in a car
due to salt and moisture, but I wonder how a Florida plane would fare. I
have seen the wing spar of a Florida based Cessna developed holes from
corrosion. Once powder coat cracks and lets in moisture, the corrosion
process is accelerated as it is protected from drying.
Remember the FAA has yet to permit powder coating for aluminum as far as I
know.

I finished making my wheel hubs and have sent them to Buchanan's for spoking.
I have a bad feeling that I made them a tad bit heavier than they should be.
Did anyone on the list happen to weigh their wheel hubs?

Subject: | N74DV gets some attention today |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" <djv@imagedv.com>
Woke up this morning, pulled up the weather and saw that we were only going
to see a high of 102 today...... "ooooohhhh that's nice and cool" I says
to myself, "maybe I'll work on the plane".
Cleaned out the shop from all the crap that has accumulated this summer and
rolled out N74DV. Had to stare at it for about 20 minutes to regroup and
figure out my new plan of attack. I spent about an hour today finishing up
the mixture control bellcrank that's bolted to the firewall.
So..... with cooler weather on the horizon I have kicked off the building
season a month early.
Firewall forward is about 85% complete. I plan on having it 98% by
Copperstate Fly-in in October (not including cowling). Then it's time to
put the wings on, run the aileron cables, take it all apart and then the big
nasty "C" word.... Cover. ugggghhhh I'm nervous about the covering but
I'll read the books and watch the videos many times before then.
I'm gonna do my best to have this machine flying by April or May....
finances and time permitting.

I don't have the weight of just the hubs but the weight of the Jenny style gear
with 19" rims and 3.50" tires, ash gear legs, axle, spreader bars, all cross
cables and turnbuckles, and no brakes is 60 pounds.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wheel Hubs
I finished making my wheel hubs and have sent them to Buchanan's for spoking.
I have a bad feeling that I made them a tad bit heavier than they should be.
Did anyone on the list happen to weigh their wheel hubs?
Dave in Mo.

I am ready to scan them and then will return them on the CD in whatever you want
(jpg, djvu e.t.c.) I am sure in djvu format there will not be a big size file,
just a couple of megs. Just send me the copy of the entire newsletters.
