The "3 Piece Wing Supplement for AirCamper and Sky Scout"--drawn by Vi Kapler in 1975 and revised by Dick Gleason in 1982 is part of those plans. It shows only 3/4 inch spars for the 3 piece wing.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) Hello Douwe: I had a copper-brass radiator that weighed 18 lbs. I decided to go with the VW Golf radiator from LEAF that weighs 4 lbs. I did build a framework around it for better look and strength. It now weighs slightly more, but not much. I did the split gear. It all weighs 48 lbs. Minus bungees. With ATV wheels, tires, and Hager hubs brakes, etc. I am considering changing by bungees to springs. That may add a little more weight. I was talking to the man with Blue Harron and the black Scout about the Scout gear. ( I forgot his name ) He was telling me that the Scout gear possess some weird geometry , and "does funny things" He said it was a lot of work and still isn't quite right.I kind of let it go over my head since I wasn't building the Scout gear, but he added "BHP never quite had it figured out either". Several years ago Sp. Av. had an article by Chad Willie on building a scout and said kind of the same thing. I think if I was to build a Scout I would use one of the other gears on it. If you are interested in a light weight wheel-brake set up, there was a nice set up on display in the ultra light area from an outfit called FBI. ( Free Bird Innovations ) www.flyfbi.com who makes a nice set up for $350. Al. wheels and tires, disc brakes, 5/8 axels, lines fittings and one brake lever. The tires are small, but the wheels are 6" so larger ones are readily available. I"m a little concerned that 5/8" axels may be a little light. I gave $400 for the Hager (AS&S) (3/4" axels) set up 4 years ago without tires and wheels. Good luck keeping it light. Leon S. In Kansas where for some strange reason it's just as cool as Wisconsin.

    Subject: 0-235-C Valves
    Hi Fellow pilots I have come up with a problem and need some help, my Pietenpol is fitted with a Lycoming 0-235-C, last Sunday a stud broke on pot 2. I took her in to the local engine shop, only to be told that she still has brass inlet seats and needs to be moded, I solved the radio problem I had now it seems another problem has cropped in, even with the cylinder that was not functioning for the last 14hrs, I still maintained 500 fpm climb at 60mph. Does anyone know where I can get inlet valves and seats? I am led to believe my motors spares are scarce. Thanks Norman ZS-VJA South Africa

    Norman, That O-235 is just about the most popular engine that Lycosaurus made. I'd be really surprised if you couldn't find parts in So. Africa out of a Tomahawk, or stationary power generator or any older Piper Colt. If not, go to Trade-a-Plane on the web, look for parts, and ck out the folks at Wentworth on the web at www.wentworthaircraft.com via email. Wentworth is in Minnesota, and they've always had whatever I've looked for and taken back parts with any issue. Sometimes it's cheaper and better idea to replace entire jug with used one.
