Hello,
Greg, thanks for the weight info on your axle gear, very helpful.
I'd appreciate any input on the feasibility of using a skyscout type gear on an
aircamper. I know the vertical shock strut comes very close to the forward lift
strut and flying wire on a camper, but I think that can be taken care of.
That strut seems so thin and flimsy but I've never heard of any problems. I
assume it should be a bit beefier for a heavier plane.
I love the thirties look and it seems an efficient gear. I was thinking of a compression
spring and maybe test a small gas strut to dampen the springiness,if
I could find a strong light one.

Pieters and interested,
Chuck called this am from Oshkosh and brought me up to date:
Thurs 7/21 Left Wichita late as usual and flew to Atchison, Ks for fuel. Was
delayed 1 1/2 hrs by a thunderstorm. Had to hangar his Piet. Finally left
and flew to Blakesburg, Iowa for overnite. He had a ball. Lots of fliers and
beer. Only negative was his new Wal Mart tent. It is too short. He has to sleep
with his knees in his chest but he doesn't complain as long as the beer
holds out.Says he is going to join up with this group for future stuff.
Fri 7/22 Called from Maquoketa, Iowa about 1430, fuel stop, and was about to
take off for the last leg to Brodhead. He should have been smoking the field
before 1600.
He must have had a ball at Brodhead as I didn't get a report until today
about 1000CST. He tried to fly to Osh Sunday but had to return to Brodhead
because of high winds. He said he was making about 12 mph ground speed bucking
winds in excess of 45 mph. He rode in a road vehicle with another person from
this list. Don't remember his name. He was sleeping in his tent at Osh and it
was flooded so he just rolled over and went back to sleep. He is buying lots
of books and spending most of his time in the Pietenpol hangar and the EAA
museum.
I believe he plans to return to Brodhead tomorrow and fly home to Wichita
thereafter.
He is enjoying himself.

Douwe,
The first thing I would check is how the Sky Scout fuselage is braced
to handle the vertical shock strut loads.

I purchased landing gear from a J-3 cub at Oshkosh. Has anyone used J-3 gear on
a Piet?
Thanks James J. Hoevelmann

| Subject: | a small point of respect |
I made it back home yesterday after waiting for the winds to change. I ended up
with a tail wind insteat of a 48 kt headwind.
Sunday night after most had left, I sat around and consumed a few beers with some
of the real oldtimers of Piet flying. I felt like a kid who had been invited
to sit at the adults table for the first time. There is a point to all of
this. In telling stories of building and flying Piets 50+ years ago all of these
gents would say, "Bernard told me", "Bernard tried to do it this way" or
" When I flew with Bernard".
It never was "Bernie". No offense to anyone here but lets make it Bernard, BHP,
or Mr. Pietenpol.
