| Subject: | Dihedral in my R/C Piet |
Just reading all of the Dihedral talk,
I like the idea of a built to the plans Piet,I want a Ford A and 1929 gear
with wire wheels when mine is completed, but, I must say that a touch of
dihedral; makes it look just that little bit better........
My model Piet has dihedral, works great, then again it needs it as it
doesn't have ailerons!
The little Piet has had 148 flights so far, it first flew in 2001.
The shots are of it sitting on the shores of Tokyo Bay, I flew it as far out
over the water as I dared just so I could say that it has flown over Tokyo
Bay, I guess it is something that most Piets don't get a chance to do very
often.
The other shot was taken when I flew it at the site of the first powered
flights in Japan. The monument in the background is the memorial to those
early flight by the Japanese.
Built rib #21 today, progress, progress.......................
Regards to all

Have had some trouble with the email getting to me. So here is the same
question again.
It would sure help me if someone has some information on putting a 0-235 on
a aircamper, my covair in Wyoming is a little weak so any or all information
would help. Pictures,weight and balance , motor mounts etc.
thanks

I got quite a few off line emails for the plans. rather than send out separate
emails I'll just post a link to them
I'll make them available for free. I'll keep the link active for one week. Please,
these are for Piet list members only. I'm selling them on ebay to the general
public.
here ya go. They are in .pdf format and can be printed on large paper at a blueprint
or copy shop for about $10.

My speeds are about the same as Mike and Chuck.
Also I have a one piece wing with 1 1/2" dihedral at tips. It flys very stable.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: dihedral vs. speed
Walt,
I'm seeing speeds very similar to Mike C., with my A65 and homebuilt 72 X
42 prop. The next time I have to pull the prop, I'll probably rework it a little
bit to get more RPM, for a better take-off and climb. I'm still very intrigued
with the Scimitar Prop, and hope to build one some day, using Eric Clutton's
guide. Full power level flight, my adjusted tach reading is 2200 RPM.
The A65 is rated at 2300 RPM. I have errors in my tach reading, as well as my
ASI, and have adjusted these errors to conclude the speeds. I've done a few
flight tests with the GPS, but neglected to put the results in my log...oh well...guess
I'll have to go do the tests again. Hey, theres a good reason to go
fly !!
As far as your increased speed with the dihedral, I'm betting you had some
washout rigged into your original configuration, and don't have washout in the
re-rigged dihedral wing. The penalty for washout, is drag. The hershy bar
planform of the Pietenpol wing does Not need washout, because it naturally stalls
inboard first. That said, I think I saw somewhere that BHP did put a tiny
little bit of washout in the wing, probably just to err on the side of washout.

This my first post to this page.
I'm Paul Carter proud owner of two corvair engines and plans from Don Pietenpol.
I've sat back and read all these messages about your Piets and just had to contribute
something.
I attended the Low Country Corviar show in Charleston SC today and met Cecil Flowers
Jr.
He owns Flowers Auto Sales and specializes in Corvairs. He said he has 4 Corvair
110 hp engines he will sell.
He lives in Lincolnton, NC.

When I called Wicks, the gal on the phone said the plywood would have to
ship by truck. She didn't even mention any other method such as rolling up and
shipping in a round tube or small box that UPS could work with. Same thing
happened at Aircraft Spruce when I called them... "has to go by motor
freight..." they said.
Russ Chambers (at Alpha Aviation) must be in his late 70s and right off the
bat, he said he could roll up the plywood and ship it by UPS.
Russ (unlike the gals) handles not only the phone orders, but shipping,
ordering, sweeping the floors and unlocking the doors.
My pun, "thinking outside the box" should have suggested that Russ was
thinking not only outside the box, but a way to ship plywood inside the box.
