Subject: | Landing gear hinge lugs |
Hey guys
Drawing No. 3 (1934 plans) show two 5/8" hinge lugs and one 3/4" diameter
hinge lug. I can see what the 3/4" lug is for, what do you do with the 5/8"
diameter lugs?
Thanks

Subject: | Another landing gear question |
How did you guys build the hinges on top of the landing gear vees? Bill
Rewey mentioned that metal barn door hinges can be used. How about welding
1/4" ID tubing to the edge of a piece of .090" sheet? Can't find much help
in the archives on this.
Thanks

You know, what gets me is that in just about every run-of-the-mill line
aircraft that I've ever flown, there were about a half-dozen different
things you'd have to know and do correctly or the engine wouldn't start,
much less let you fly the plane. This plane must have been sitting there
with (a)no gust lock in place on the yoke, (b)mixture full rich, (c)fuel
selector lever set to something other than 'off', (d)key in the ignition,
(e)warm climate, warm engine, or throttle cracked enough to start without
prime, (f)master switch 'on'... and maybe one or two other things (such as
parking brake not set, though I've never had any use for parking brakes).
Most people who have never flown or operated a light plane would not know to
take care of many, or any, of the above. Used to driving a car, they expect
to jump in, turn the key, and start "driving". Either the kid knew
something about airplanes and their controls, or the plane was not properly
stowed, or he had an accomplice.
Too quiet on the list, so I apologize for the useless post but figured it
would mean at least one post going on today's digest ;o) Sitting here
waiting for my last "happy father's day" phone call from the oldest
daughter... all the other kids have checked in today. Happy father's day to
all you Pietenpol Dads, too.

Agree with you Oscar, kinda hard to believe the kid didn't have a little
training on what to push and pull to get the bird started. Maybe it was a
slow newsday and the reporter took a little literary license on this story.
Don't think Flight Simulator that detailed. Normally in my planes the kid
would be outta luck, the damn battery would be dead, or the carb would
flood.
