Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aluminum spars
I'm just about ready ready to start on my wings (3 piece wing) for my piet.
All my ribs are done (wood). I'm thinking about using possible aluminum
spars.Is there anyone who has been building and now flying with such a set
up?
Thanks for the input.

Several years ago the old IPA newsletter had a write up about a fatal
crash because of elevator spar failure. The reason that it happened was
the builder omitted the steel strap that tied the elev. horn to the
middle beam. Leon S.

I rechecked the float level on my Stromberg NA-S3. It was about 1/2" high.
Hopefully the black smoke will go away now, Obviously I will have to reset
the idle.
I need a good cap for a Case mag for a Continental if anybody has one. One
of my caps is moisture sensitive.
Les
awaiting registration numbers so I can buy insurance and then test fly when
the weather cooperates.

Howdy, Pieters;
Well, I'm on a beanie-weenie and saltine cracker week (my wife is out of
town, in Oregon for a week to visit our daughters) so I'm catching up on
reading and emails, living on beer and microwave popcorn (the dog and I
slurped down all the refrigerator leftovers in the first few hours my wife
was gone). I notice quite a few builder updates about this time last year,
probably due to most folks being snowed in or shut out of the shop due to
wx., but not many updates yet this year. It's been somewhat quiet on the
list.
So... how about those who are building, posting a word or two on their
latest progress? Pull away from the Super Bowl hype and let the rest of us
know how your Aircampers are coming along.
Me, my latest news is that a box arrived from Aircraft Spruce yesterday
containing my new carburetor air box/filter to replace the one that got
accordioned in the nose-over, plus a new carb heat knob and cable (sorry,
Corky... I didn't like the dinky little brass knob unit). I was a bit
surprised to find that the carb heat damper lever on the air box has detents
on it (a series of notched "clicks" on the arm guide). Not sure what that's
for since carb heat is usually all "on" or all "off" and not anything in
between, but what the heck.
All I need now is a short piece of aluminum tube, slip it into the bender,
put on the nuts, flare the ends (EAA chapter 35 has an aircraft flare tool),
and the fuel system on NX41CC is complete and ready to fire the engine
again. This to replace the feed from the fuel tank to the gascolator,
through the lower firewall, that got kinked in the nose-over.
So, builders- how are y'all doing? Tom Brant? Jim Markle? Corky and
"Repiet"? Anybody? I see that there were no Piets at Urbana, IL last
year... if the Lord wills, maybe 41CC will be on the flightline this year...
Bert Conoly? Anybody else planning to make the SAA event at Urbana?

Who's playing in the super bowl, anyway? Oh well, who cares....
Max Davis and I rolled it out into the driveway today and stuck the tail
spinach on.....that was fun. VERY pleased with the "olde timey" look of the
wheels....
Recently dissassembled and rebuilt the Stearman type fuel level guage I got
from AS&S and it's gonna work nice......planed some mahoghany and maple
pieces for the cabane laminations this evening.....
Also completed cutting and tenoning all the Poplar wood stiles and rails for
new kitchen cabinet doors (all 23 doors! aaarrgghh!). If you're married
you'll know how making new things like kitchen cabinet doors helps you make
progress with a Pietenpol project.....
Life is good.
