--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jack Phillips" <pietflyr@bellsouth.net>
Oscar,
I'm doing the same thing to my Pietenpol after its forced landing. A couple
of questions come to mind:
1. What paint was used on it originally? If a polyurethane paint was used
(like I did on mine), the old paint will have to be sanded off - and that is
a major pain. If PolyTone was used, MEK will remove it easily. I suspect
MEK would take butyrate dope off as well, but I have no experience with
that.
2. How long are the cuts in the original fabric? If the cut is 8" or less,
the overlap only needs to be 1" when you glue the new fabric down with
PolyTak. If more than 8", you need a 2" overlap. I cover the overlap with
2" pinked tape as well.
3. On the vertical stab, you will probably have to use bias tapes to tape
around the curve at the top. Just follow the directions in the polyfiber
manual.
If you have questions, contact the folks at PolyFiber. They are very good
about answering technical questions. http://www.polyfiber.com/

Thanks, but- all I'm doing are repairs! As you'll recall, this is the
repair of NX41CC after its ignominious nose-over incident on Veterans Day.
There is the vertical stabilizer to re-cover, plus several areas where the
fabric has had to be opened up to access various fittings. Sad to say,
unless I re-cover the whole airframe, this bird is going to look like it has
some experience in theater (of war), with field repairs! I'm going to try
to do a good job on the paint matching, but patches will show upon close
examination.
My thought it to apply round patches to the areas we've had to open up, and
to use pinked edges on the round patches. As I understand it, I'll need to
sand back the paint on the underlying fabric to get to bare fabric, then
Poly-Tak the patch in place and go from there. If this is the wrong
approach or if there are easier ways to do spot repairs, please advise. I
also assume everything will be the standard weight fabric (2.7 oz.),
although some have used the lightweight fabric for the tail surfaces. I
believe Ernie Moreno told me he used the old HS90X fabric to re-cover the
tail surfaces on his airplane to shave a bit of weight off the tail.

You don't want to let your sandpaper get into the fabric at all. Once those fibers
are cut with sandpaper, they have lost strength. Also, the place will never
seem to fill with your finishing materials. This is the reason for using
dope on fabric. If it was dope to begin with, there is no need to sand thru the
dope. Just lightly sand to scuff the surface. The dope will soften again with
application of new dope and thus blend in. If the original finish is polyurethane
or enamel, its not that simple. Lightly sand and then mask off the area
to be painted using the same type of paint. The trouble is, you can't get
a blending effect and you end up with a mask line. Also...watch out for sanding
over rib stitches abd structure. It doesn't take much pressure and your sandpaper
will get into the fabric.

Hey Piet listers,
I'm back on the list as we have our computer set up in the motor home parked in
the hangar. Have about 1/2 my Piet parts in the hangar, the rest should be here
soon. Will be back to work on the Piet after some electric and allot of plumbing
in the hangar and building the apartment, so maybe next fall.
Dick, Jack and Bert congratulations on your projects becoming aircraft. Oscar and
Jack sorry to read about the off field landings, glad only airplanes were hurt.
A guy on the field here is building a Bearhawk and he told me Bob Barrows the designer
of that aircraft is selling his A model Peit.
Short fuselage(don't know if he means flyer and gilder or 1934 plans), red and
silver, no breaks, tail skid, wire wheels with straight axle, empty weight 630,
the A has pressure lube and aluminum head. Aircraft has 80 hours. Barrows says
it flys straight and good, my contact here whos judgment I trust says it looks
like good workmanship. Barrows will deliver within 500 miles from Fincastle
VA. $12,000.00 Telephone for Barrows 540 473-3661.
Hales Landing the airpark I live at is now on the Cincinnati sectional, 12 miles
south on Parkersburg WV. Once the Wx gets better Piet listers please stop by.

I called and spoke to the owner of this one for about 30 minutes on Saturday.
Sounds like it is a good airplane. However, he e-mailed me this morning and
said that someone came out and looked at the plane Sunday, walked around it
once, and said he'd take it pending a pre-buy. Still, no cash has traded hands
as far as I know, but it might already be spoken for.

This is also true with latex finish. repairs are simpler: wipe with thinner
the latex, contact cement the patch in place, let dry for a few hours and paint
with latex over it. in a couple of days you will not notice the diference
in color. Been there done that.

A few months ago I posted asking people for leads on GN-1s for sale. Several
people e-mailed me, and DJ sent me some information on a Pietenpol he had seen
in Indiana. I called and spoke with the owner in December, scheduled a pre-buy
inspection, and then went to see the plane for myself when I was on Christmas
vacation. I just got off the phone with the owner, and agreed to purchase the
plane! Now as soon as the weather warms up in Indiana, I'll be going to get
it. Hopefully it won't be late March before I get a decent weekend...I'm
waiting for a few days of forty degree temps in Indiana to make the trip home
in my first airplane. Needless to say, sitting at work every day waiting for
spring is torture...

Steve,
This is good news, and good luck with your new acquisition. It appears that
you fall under TACO jurisdiction, being located in the Dallas, TX. area.
You will need to talk to Sterling about that. We should plan a get together
sometime soon, I'm sure we need to have a TACO meeting for the occasion...in
the past we have met at the Purple Cow, and some other undisclosed locations.
Let us know if you need any assistance with this endeavor.

As soon as Steve has an idea of when he will have his Air Camper in Texas,
and at a time convenient to him, let's have a meeting. Maybe we can tie this
into Mike Cuy's visit. Maybe Corky can swing by? Maybe Oscar will have his
repairs done and can meet us at a location between San Antonio and Dallas if there
isn't a Presidential TFR. Maybe some other Yankees other than Mike can visit?
Just a thought.

Skip,
Great to hear you're back on the list. While I was at Marshall Co. Airport
during August '04, in W Va, I got to the point of flight planning a day trip
with the position and cooridnates you gave me at Brodhead, and with my 26 yr old
son in the front pit. Had everything set to go. I don't remember if you
weren't there, or it was weather that kept us from setting off. I was really
looking forward to making that flight...We'll make it next time through !!

Oscar,
I have oil based enamel Aluminum Rust-oleum on my plane, for the UV
protection, and oil based Red Devil Red, for the trim. The paint is holding up
very
well. For the repairs I have done, I have been fairly successful by using duct
tape to remove most of the paint, down to the fabric. Carefully test small
areas. Experiment using the duct tape right on unsanded paint, or use fine sand
paper to remove the gloss, clean the dust off and press the duct tape on, and
RIP off the paint, leaving reletively clean fabric. This probably wouldn't
work with Dope. I finished up cleaning the fabric with plenty of clean rags,
and MEK wearing rubber gloves. Remove the paint, and clean the fabric before
you cut the fabric, or the loose edges are much more difficult to clean. Like
Terry said, be very carefull not to sand into any fibers. 1" to 2" overlap
for the patch, using poly tac, and even blend the edges away with you fingers
and the glue. Finish blending the edges with an iron at temperatures toward the
lower end of the range. You should be able to blend in paint right up to the
patch, and make the patch almost disappear. To save weight on the empenage, I
used 1.8 oz fabric. It's also easier to use the lighter fabric, however,
your patch should be the same weight as what it is covered with. Fabric repair
is not very difficult. Matching the paint will probably be your biggest
challenge, however, repairs give 'er some character !!

That brings a crazy idea: How many Piet Listers (aka TACO's) live betwen
Dallas and Indiana?
Would be a good idea to join Steve in partial sections of this trip... Just for
the fun of flying with him and support, at least only give him some tips on
the area they are familiar with, etc...
Probably this needs a lots of planning from him, dont know...

Subject: | New owner... X Country planning? |
Sounds like fun to me...if for no other reason than to do some loose
formation flying with some other Pietenpol owners. It would be great to see
some other Pietenpols and their owners as well. I have a couple of possible
routes in mind. The most likely route will take me across SE Illinois,
crossing into Missouri just south of St. Louis, dipping into NE Arkansas,
then a more easterly heading into south Oklahoma and finally into North TX.
My starting point will be 3C1 in South Bend, IN, and my final destination
will be GYI in Sherman, TX. A good two to three day trip if the weather is
nice to me. If anyone is near any of these areas and feels like meeting up,
feel free to send me an e-mail.
Here are the airports I have on my very tentative route right now:
3C1, 50I, KMTO, KENL, KSAR, X33, KBVX, KMPJ, KMEZ, KHHW, and KGYI. The
first half of that list has a decent variety of airports with multiple
runways and/or grass strips. I'd like to find more similar strips for the
last half of the trip, especially if I'm going to be fighting March winds.
The biggest obstacle I see is timing...I might not know exactly when I'm
going to be somewhere until an hour before I leave. I don't even know
exactly when I'll be going. It will be the next weekend with a decent and
not too cold forecast between here and there. It could be March before I
make the trip.
Should be a fun trip...I can't wait.

That brings a crazy idea: How many Piet Listers (aka TACO's) live
betwen Dallas and Indiana?
Would be a good idea to join Steve in partial sections of this trip...
Just for the fun of flying with him and support, at least only give him
some tips on the area they are familiar with, etc...
Probably this needs a lots of planning from him, dont know...

Steve,
This is good news, and good luck with your new acquisition. It appears
that you fall under TACO jurisdiction, being located in the Dallas, TX.
area. You will need to talk to Sterling about that. We should plan a get
together sometime soon, I'm sure we need to have a TACO meeting for the
occasion...in the past we have met at the Purple Cow, and some other
undisclosed locations. Let us know if you need any assistance with this
endeavor.

Hey DJ,
Thanks a lot for helping me out, I wouldn't have found it without your help!
I've been meaning to e-mail you since your post about your hangar issues. I
sure hope you can find a solution, I want to see you fly your plane one day.
I'd hate to see you get rid of it. I've spent the last six months looking
over your site, trying to learn as much as I can, it is packed with good
information and a lot of great pictures.
I didn't get to look at the Tcraft when I was there. We all night from
Minneapolis, got to South Bend at about 8AM, spent an hour looking at the
plane, and then headed out. I was dog tired and it was about 3*F, way too
cold for me! Once I got done looking at the plane there wasn't much else on
my mind.
If you ever make it out this way, be sure to send me an e-mail or something,
I'd be glad to take you up for a while!
Steve

glad to hear you bought that plane. It's a great little plane that the
owner took good care of. Did you happen to notice the white/green
T-craft in the hangar when you went to see the GN-1? Thats the T-craft my
cousin owns and I get to fly every August.

Subject: | Next TACO meeting to honor Steve Ruse |
That sounds like fun Sterling, I can't wait to get it back here and spend
spring, summer, and fall burning Avgas. I'll have the plane here ASAWA (As
Soon As Weather Allows). I'd be glad to drop down into the hill country
once I get it here, there is some great barbeque to be had down there.
Thanks for the welcome everyone...I can't wait to meet more of you. Seems
like a great group.
Later this spring I plan on buying some wood and fabric and re-creating the
vertical and horizontal stabs for a Pietenpol, just to learn more about
their construction. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find time to build an
entire Piet.

Actually the subject line should read... Next TACO meeting to honor and
induct Steve Ruse and gawk at his new Texas Air Camper...
As soon as Steve has an idea of when he will have his Air Camper in Texas,
and at a time convenient to him, let's have a meeting. Maybe we can tie this
into Mike Cuy's visit. Maybe Corky can swing by? Maybe Oscar will have his
repairs done and can meet us at a location between San Antonio and Dallas if
there isn't a Presidential TFR. Maybe some other Yankees other than Mike can
visit?
Just a thought.
