(Dave Case) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:06:25 AM PST US From: Rcaprd@aol.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Video Now Available: Flying NX770CG After going through a steep learning curve, I finally got this Pinacle Video Editing program to work long enough to finish the video I've been working on, and I've burned half dozen copies. The first 15 minutes are a detailed look at my plane. Then start, taxi, take-off sceenes from 5 or 6 different camera angles. Then sceenes of the 'Smokin' Pietenpol. The smoke makes some neat vorticies for the camera angle looking aft. I have lots of aerial sceens of some cross country flights, sceenes of Hot Air Balloons, the 'River Run', and finally sceenes of the landing sequence. It lasts 1hr 50 minutes. I have genaric music dubbed in in various places, to take the place of the drum of the engine. I think It turned out pretty good, but it is an ongoing project. I'm curious to find out what others think, and how I could improve it. I will sell this Version 1 video for 15 bucks each. E-mail me direct for my address to send the money if you're interested.

I have not seen the project but the description below should help. Please e-mail Joe at leonardj@apk.net or call him at 330-527-2307 if you are interested or have questions. Photos are not available at the moment, but Joe thinks a friend may have some on file. Joe is a good guy---honest, easy to get along with. He flew a GN-1 for many years and has had it to Brodhead, so he knows the Piet world well. See you, Mike C. Hey Mike, I greatly appreciate you help in posting this. Pietenpol Project. There is an article in the 1965 Sport Aviation Mag. which says the plane was originally built by Stan Richards in Hoytville, Ohio in 1931. (The Fun Flying Farmer) There are some writings on the back of the prop that indicate some prop work was done in 1941. I acquired the project several years ago out of a barn in the Toledo area, but I've come to the conclusion that I probably will never get the chance to complete the project partially due to the health problems I've had to deal with. I'm sure there are some Piet fans out there that would love to have it. And I'm trying to get my other one back in the air one day! The fuselage is on gear but is probably good for patterns. It's a Scout type gear with the old clinch rims. I have the horizontal stab with the elevators, the vertical stab with rudder. The article claims the engine is a model T engine, I'm not sure. I've never opened up the engine but I' guessing it's good for parts. The radiator is a honey comb style, kind of neat. The instruments consist of a Dixie Mag Switch, possibly off of a Jenny. Oil pressure gauge US. Army Type B Tach, 4" diameter, SignalCorps US. Army Type C1 Karl Ort Temp gauge. Altimeter, Aviation Section, signal corp. US Army Type B, 3 1/2" dial, 4 1/2" total As I had mentioned Frank Pavliga took some digitals of it and I've asked him to forward them to you. My asking price is $2500. I'm told that the instruments are worth close to that. Thanks for the help. My email is leonardj @ apk.net Shop phone no. 330-527-2307 Garrettsville, Ohio. Talk at ya soon.

I got some good information in off-list emails as well. I am still going to lay out the jig from coordinates, mostly because I'm still waiting for my wood to get here, and it'll make me feel like I'm getting started. I have a 12"x5.5' piece of particle board shelving material (covered in melamine) that I'm going to use as the base. I am going to probably use the same stuff for blocks (I have a couple feet left over). I'll use circular cams (like in the Bingelis books) to push the stock against the blocks. Oh, and I very likely might use Max Davis' rib extractor idea, that thing is way cool. -- David Case Dav3xor@gmail.com www.builddiary.net
