I had a friend who bought a Cessna 140 which had sat outside for a few years. He
fired it, up flew it home and gave it a good annual and few it for a number
of years and hundreds of hours. The only trouble he had was a valve stuck once,
was still running great, way past TBO when he sold it.

Walt,
It will run fine for about 25 to 50 hours but by then the insides will be all
torn up with the ferrous oxides that come off into the oil which are pretty hard
at which point the cam bearing surfaces of the crankcase will be worn out,
indicated by no oil pressure at idle, trashing the crankcase...etc.

A friend of mine had some medical problems and didn't fly his Cessna 120 for
three years. Just sat there getting dirtier and dirtier. Now he had to sell
it, so we washed it of the brown dust, and he wanted to taxi it to a hose to
rinse it.
The battery was dead, and wouldn't take a charge.
He got in and primed it, and on the 6th flip of the prop, it was running, even
on the old gas.
Man, that metal prop was sharp, had to put on gloves.
Ain't life grand!

Subject: | Landing gear setup |
Am starting to plan my landing gear (split gear with the Cub style triangle
cabane at the top and springs instead of bungees) and after going through
the archives I think I have an idea how to design this but please give me a
sanity check. I am using the long fuselage plans.
1) Whether short of long fuselage, axle should be 2" forward of plans
location if adding brakes and tail wheel.
The short fuselage plans show the axle 17" behind the firewall, the long
fuselage plans have the firewall 2" further forward so the standard axle
location would be 19" back from the firewall. SO with brakes and tail wheel
the axle should be:
15" aft of firewall for short fuse
17" aft of firewall for long fuse
Correct?
Also since many people increase the front fuse length probably a better
measurement point would be the center of the front ash cross member. In that
case the axle position would be:
5" aft of the center of the front ash cross member for any fuselage.
2) When I get done with the gear the fuselage should sit on the ground with
about a 13 degree deck angle (measured on the top longeron), from the
archive info. So if I install the tailwheel and prop up the front of the
fuse to a 13 degree angle, place the wheel/tire that I am going to use on
the floor under the fuse at the correct 2" forward location THAT is the axle
position that I need to build my gear to correct? I can build a Bill
Rewey-style jig to hold the axles in that position.
Thanks

Discovered another use for my Bingelis mock fuselage. Come landing gear
build time you just turn it upside down and you have the base for a jig that
matches the bottom of your real fuselage that you can tack weld your landing
gear parts to. You burn it a little while welding to it? No problem just
have a bucket of water nearby.

Yep sometimes you get lucky but more often not. The corsion that can
form on the inside of the cyclinders can actually help hold compression
in, but when put in use more often than not it gives way. Running an
engine way past TBO is asking for trouble. A hundred hours or so is one
thing, but if there is a problem you could easily be penny wise and very
pound foolish. A problem with the internals can easily damage the cam
or crankshaft. Last time I checked a just the crankshaft was over 8
grand (not including the rest of the rebuild and finding one might not
be as easy as picking up a phone) and most overhall shops require the
crank to be serviceable before you even have an engine core. Risking
doubling the cost of an overhall for a few hundred hours isn't worth
it. Would you feel like you got your monies worth if you had an
overhall that only made it 500 hours? That is essentially what you are
doing by running it way over.

Subject: | Re: Landing gear setup |
Rick,
There are three fuselages. Which are you using?
the fuselage that appears in the Flying and Glider Manual. The drawings show a
wood gear.
the fuselage that is on the plans that DP sells. The drawings show the split steel
landing gear.
the fuselage that was used for the corvair piets. No gear is shown for this fuselage
but it is the one most build as it is 7 inches longer or so than the early
fuselages.

Subject: | Cont. A-65 runup & flight |
Chuck,
In running some tests with a GPS this weekend it appears my Piet is not
as slow as I thought. There was no wond aloft and I was consistently
getting groundspeeds of 66 to 68 knots, regardless of flight direction.
Maybe my cheap Chinese import Airspeed indicators are calibrated in
knots, even though the dial says MPH, 'cause they both indicate 65. So
in reality I'm getting an airspeed of 66 knots, or about 75 mph. That
is cruising at 2150 RPM indicated. A buddy has an electronic tach - I
need to borrow it and verify that my tach is accurate.

Jack,
I'm guestimating the 85 mph for my Full Power Level Flight run. My tach
reads low, and my ASI reads low. It will be interesting to compare our
cruise speeds. I think there is a radio frequency that we are allowed
to use, for air to air conservasion. For cruise, I pull power back to
1850 rpm, and that puts me somewhere around 65 mph. Sometimes I like to
put put put around, close to minimum controlable airspeed. I can pull
power back to 1650, and maintain about 45 mph. Saves gas, and do some
sight seeing !!

Jack,
One way to check a tach is to run it up after dark. Most lights used to light a
parking lot or tarmac run at a multiple of 600, so the prop will appear to stop
at 600, 1200, and 1800 rpm etc.

Wow, that is a really smart idea, and it couldn't be any simpler.
Never ocurred
to me. Should be really accurate too.
One thing to be careful of though, some ballasts will change the frequency of
the power to the lamp (I know this is true for some fluorescents, and maybe
metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamps). Now it could be that the altered
frequency is still a multiple of 60hz though, so this wouldn't matter.
Using a
good 'ol incandescent lamp (from a 120VAC source) should be very accurate
though. A drop lamp secured to a cabane should work great.
Now you've got me wanting to try this. Something to do next time I'm at the
hangar at night...

Chapter 25,
I got a couple of phone calls from my friend Lesley, daughter of Tom Poberezney.
The first one was to inform me that her dad was involved in a motorcycle
accident this weekend. He is OK, but is beat up pretty good, and wont be in
to great of condition by the time Airventure rolls around.
The second phone call was to inform me that Jimmy Franklin, and Bobby Younkin
were killed tragically in a mid-air collision during an airshow in Canada.
Us die-hard airshow fans remember the duo from their Masters of Disaster airshow
during Airventure last year.
So maybe we can get something together (such as a card) for the Poberezney's
and that families of the airshow performers. Just a thought...

Incandescents won't work. The filament glows when the power is off so you
don't get the flicker that makes the strobe effect you're looking for. It
has to be either a sodium (yellow) arc lamp, mercuric arc (white with bluish
tint) or a flourescent (with the frequency questions you raise).

Chuck,
I start leaning my 140 (0-200) at 1000'. I have an EGT and it looks
like it
needs it.
I would suspect the absolute ceiling of a Piet is around 12000'.
Several
years ago I climbed mine up to 7500' and gave up because I was in a T
shirt
and the thermometer indicated 38 degrees. It was climbing strong at
that
point. Maybe Steve E has flown the highest on his way from Utah in 99.

Ty,
I flew airshows, in the 1990's, with both Bobby Yonkin
and Jimmy Franklin. I live in Northwest Arkansas only
about 70 miles from Springdale, AR where Bobby
hangered. His father, Jim, is well known for his
metal work esp. with the English wheel. He is a
master craftsman.
Both pilots were among the top flyers in the world. I
was never even close to their skill level, but I
enjoyed flying with them just the same. They will be
sorely missed and the airshow industry will have a
great void that will take some time to fill.
I was also sorry to hear about Tom Poberezney's
accident and wish him well. I met Tom around 1993.
It was at my very first "official" airshow to fly as a
performer. He was flying with the Eagles then and,
since I was still practicing medicine at the time, I
treated him for a minor upper respiratory infection so
he could get through the performance. He and all
three of the Eagles were very friendly and gave me
much encouragement in my acro work. I still have a
large, signed photo of the Eagles sent to me for
treating Tom during the airshow. I wish him a speedy
recovery.

Yes, It should be interesting to compare performance, when we go to Brodhead.
Does anyone know the frequency set aside for air to air communication ?

Chuck,
In running some tests with a GPS this weekend it appears my Piet is not as
slow as I thought. There was no wond aloft and I was consistently getting groundspeeds
of 66 to 68 knots, regardless of flight direction. Maybe my cheap Chinese
import Airspeed indicators are calibrated in knots, even though the dial
says MPH, =E2=80=99cause they both indicate 65. So in reality I=E2=80=99m getting
an airspeed of 66 knots, or about 75 mph. That is cruising at 2150 RPM
indicated. A buddy has an electronic tach =E2=80=93 I need to borrow it and
verify that my tach is accurate.
Yes, It should be interesting to compare performance, when we go to Brodhead.
Does anyone know the frequency set aside for air to air communication ? Terry
B. told me what it was, last summer, but I can't find it.

I dissaggree, back in the Submarine service of the 60's we didn't have
incandesent <sp> lighting cause the rotating machinery would seem to stop,
and people might grab it. Don't think you see freq with a flourescent.
Please, if someone trys this,,, let us know.
