In checking out that battery page of Wantaja's I found this
link to his hand propping tailhook;
http://www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/tailhook.html
I seem to remember a question about this last month.

I took a look at this hook, good idea but maybe a snapshackle used on a boat would
be simpler. I dont have one at home here to send a pic.

I've attached a picture of the incredibly meticulous John Dilatush's
tailhook setup on Mountain Piet (from Brodhead '04), for those
interested...

Dick,
I always have, and still do, keep a fairly detailed flight log...especially
during the flight test phase...for the reasons that Jim D. mentioned.

Greg,
After a long period of time with the tail up level, when I was re-doing the
spring struts, the oil pump lost it's prime. I removed the oil pressure line,
and made a funnel to fit, to prime my pump. It took quite a while for the oil
to run in, maybe a half hour.

Chuck,
I'm glad you did. Otherwise I'd still be wondering what it's like to ride in
a Piet.

Piet Gang,
Here is a chart I made from the data provided in the A65 Detail Specification (Continental
Motors document 1009A). I plan to attach this to my ops manual.

Doyle,
When we were at Tick Hill, you mentioned you would like me to send you
(e-mail) the text of the Pietenpol Operations Manual that I made. Do you still
want
it ? I sent you an e-mail asking you, but I didn't get a response. Does
anyone else want to see it ?

I saw a fairly new BMW motorcycle this week
noticed the wheels
The spokes were attached near the bead area on the rim instead of the center and
laced to the opposite side of the hub.
looks they may withstand a greater side load set up like that

Those wheels are what I have on my BMW motorcycle; they are tubeless rims. You
may or may not want tubeless tires on your Piet but you are correct in that the
farther the angle is off of "vertical" or perpendicularity to the axis, the
higher the side load the spoke can carry. This is the reason some of the guys
on the list have made their own wider hubs for spoked wheels... to increase
that angle.
