Just thought I'd check because there have been those in the past that
have walked away from an idling aircraft and not only do they look like
an idiot but damage to other aircraft has been known to happen;good to

Subject: | Discs for brakes |
One thing to bear in mind if you are using the large diameter wire
wheels - it is hard to stop a large diameter wheel. I've got 21" wheels
on my Piet, with Cleveland 8" disc brakes. Those brakes are able to
hold it for a runup on grass, but not at full power. On pavement, even
a runup at 1500 RPM will cause a slow creep with the brakes on as hard
as I can hold them. I noticed on Dick Navratil's pictures of his
beautiful radial powered Pietenpol that he is using standard
Harley-Davidson discs, which are about 12" in diameter. These should be
much better than the smaller Clevelands.
Airplanes quit using big wheels about the time they started using
brakes.

Regarding disc brake discussions: Does anyone have a name and part
number of a suitable disc to use for disc brakes. I would like to
attach the discs to a straight axle hub similar to that shown in the
"Flying and Glider Manual". I have a set of small mechanically operated
calipers.
Thank you.

Hi Glenn,
Good questions. See answers in Bold below:

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wing Build Question
I've been gawking at Hoopman Wing Plan (WP) Drawing (3/3/34), the Full Size Rib
Plan and the 3 Piece Wing Supplement drawing (1/10/75 revised 3/13/82) and need
a little help before I build my rib jig and start cranking out garbage. That's
not garbage - that's a "Wall Hanging"
Full size rib plan shows vertical braces in the ribs one behind the front spar
and one ahead of the rear spar. 3/3/34 WP drawing doesn't show these. These
vertical braces seem like they definitely should be there for strength and alignment
reasons, right? I added these verticals on mine.
Full Size Rib Plan shows a slot for a tongue in the trailing edge. Do you have
to create your own TE stock? Didn't see it on Aircraft Spruce site, but it might
be called something else and I'm looking in the wrong place. I used aluminum
trailing edge stock from Aircraft Spruce. Be every careful if using this
to make sure the rib trailing adge goes all the way into the trailing edge bend
line, otherwise the tension from the shrunk fabric will gradually cause the
TE to move, which will make a series of small puckers in the fabric just ahead
of the TE. The aluminum TE is very light, and makes a nice sharp trailing edge
to the airfoil, but it is easily bent if someone bumps their head into it.
If I had it to do over, I'm not sure I would use it, but would probably use
the wooden trailing shown on the plans.
Original WP drawing (3/3/34) shows a 1" x 4.75" spar routed down to 1/2" in certain
areas. 3 Piece Wing Supp. shows a dimension of 3/4" for thickness for spars
and the same routed areas but no dimension on the thickness in the routed
area. (Still maintain a 1/2" thickness inside routed area and remove 1/8" from
each side?) Did Mr. Pietenpol determine that 1" was overkill? 3/4" just seems
a little light. =BE" is the thickness used on any number of aerobatic airplanes,
including Citabrias and Pitts Specials. It is plenty strong enough.
I used =BE" spars fore and aft on mine, and routed the rear spars down to =BD"
thickness per the plans. This saved almost 4 lbs of weight (Sitka spruce spars
- it would save even more on Douglas Fir).
Again, I will now take the lead for the least advanced questions posted on the
list ...if your rib jig has clamps that hold the gussets in place while the T-88
sets, do you even need nails? I would think that 99.9% of the strength would
come from the adhesive. I plan to use a custom clamp arrangement using light
springs to distribute the pressure without starving the joint. Clamps are
good enough for T-88. If you are using Resorcinol you need more pressure than
that, and will need nails spaced =BE" apart. The nails can be pulled out after
the glue cures.
Thanks,
Glenn Thomas

Subject: | wooden trailing edge idea---sketch attached |
As an alternative to using aluminum trailing edge material for your
Pietenpol, I tried this method which I found to be very satisfactory
in strength and hangar rash resistance. I simply butt glued this TE piece
to the ends of the ribs and then clamped strips of 1/6" birch
plywood to top and bottom overlapping TE piece and end of wing rib.
After the assembly was cured I went back and 'feathered in' the birch
strips so there wouldn't be as noticeable under the fabric--which they
are not.

Leaving it tied up is OK but I'd still have someone standing by ,just in
case but you wouldn't believe the stuff I've seen guys do.Or heard of
guys doing.I understand cold;I live in Ottawa.But I'd still have a body
warmed up and breathing standing there.It would be just my luck that
something would go wrong.

Glenn,
The vertical struts are probably a good idea. Charlie Rubeck (may he
rest in peace) said at Brodhead that if you included them, you didn't
need the wedge at the top of the spar below the cap strip. I used the
vertical struts, but the Tech Counselor from my EAA chapter who
inspected my ribs thought it's a good idea to put the wedges in anyway
(I'll worry about that before I put the ribs on the spar, but I've got
enough to do in the meantime). Nails aren't necessary; 1/4 inch staples
work great and will hold the rib together so it can dry outside of the
jig. Removing them isn't hard, either, using a ground-down butter-knife
blade (Charlie's technique). There are lots of opinions on the trailing
edge--check the Matronics archives, etc.
Good luck,
Mark Hodgson

----- Forwarded by Dave Novak/SAV/GAC on 01/04/06 09:15 AM -----
How To Fly A Jenny
1. Inspection: It is best not to inspect this ship. If you do, you
will
never get into it.
2. Climbing into the cockpit: Do not attempt to enter the cockpit in
the
usual way. If you put your weight on the lower wing panel, it will
fall
off, and besides, your foot will go through the wing, probably
breaking
your leg. The best way to enter the cockpit is to climb over the tail
surfaces and crawl up the turtle back. Be sure to brush the gopher
and
squirrel nests out of the cockpit. Take care not to cut your hands on
the
remnants of the windshield.
3. Instruments: After having carefully lowered yourself into the seat
and
groped in vain for a safety belt, take a good look at the
instruments;
both of them. The one on the right is the tachometer. It doesn't
work.
The other one is an altimeter, and functioned perfectly until 1918,
when
the hand fell off. Look at them now, for after the engine starts you
won't be able to.
4. Starting the motor: The switch is on the right; it is not
connected.'
However it gives a sense of confidence to the mechanic who is pulling
the
prop through to hear the switch click when you say "switch off." If
for
some reason the motor does start, don't get out to pick up the
unconscious and bleeding mechanic, he deserved it.
5. Warming up: Don't warm up the engine. It will only run a few
minutes
anyway, and the longer it runs on the ground the less flying time you
have. After the throttle is opened, do not expose any portion of your
body outside the cockpit. It is no fun having your face slapped by a
flying rocker arm, or being peppered with small bits of piston rings,
valves, etc. that are continually coming out of the exhaust stacks.
6. The takeoff: The takeoff is in direct defiance of all the laws of
nature. If you have a passenger, don't try it.
7. The flight: After you have dodged trees, windmills, and chimneys
until
you are over the lake, you will note a large hole in the left side of
the
fuselage. This hole is to allow the stick to be moved far enough to
make
a left turn. Don't try one to the right.
8. The landing: The landing is made in accordance with the laws of
gravity. If the landing gear doesn't collapse on the first bounce,
don't
worry, it will on the second. After you have extricated yourself from
the
wreckage and helped the spectators put out the fire, light a
cigarette,
and with a nonchalant shrug walk disdainfully away.

Walt,
That foul weather gear i was posting about from Costco is called Rockwater
Design. Distributed via Canada but made in China (just like about
everything else). I was impressed with the $50 buck price, decided to by
myself a set. They're bibbed pants with wear pads on the seat and knees
and the coat is pullover head type. I have some Helly Hansen gear for the
boat up in Alaska, and this looks like very good quality for about 1/4 the
price. No, I ain't got stock in China either, but do like Kung Pao Beef.

Subject: | Re: A65 idle RPM |
Walt,
Did you had kids? Remember when one (at kindergarten age), beeing a couple
of feets away from you or wife, runned to the street in a store and you chased
him before he got to the cars... thats desperate running!!! and was a
little kid and only a couple of feets away from you...
I know it happened to ALL of us that had kids, at least once... Got the idea?
Is there a way to search specificaly to runaway planes accidents in FAA page?
The only incident (type) here in our Club was years ago, a pusher with Rotax
912, runned away about 20 feet and crashed to a metalic sheet wall of a hangar
and made a big bump, was a 7,000.00 dls repair bill just for the ultralight.
The hangar owner didnt want it repair, So future pilots could learn. Still
there to remind all of us about it. Never again a case here...
Saludos

Subject: | Re: Seat belt information..... |
Ken
I ran a 3/32" cable from the tail wheel post forward with a "Y" in it. The upper
goes to the shoulder harness and the bottom has a second "Y" to each side of
the seat belts. The inspector was very happy with that. My passanger belt mounts
go through the ash block behind the seat on each side . They are each a
stainless eye bolt. The belts clip into them. The harness attaches to a bracket
on the turtle deck which is also a windshield attach point. I had attached
to top of a cabane as I have seen others do but the inspector wouldnt allow
it. He was afraid of possible effects of a wing buckling forward in a crash.
It was a easy change and kept him happy.

When starting the TCraft I was often alone. There were a couple of times I
was glad it was tied up - just a little too much throttle. When starting on
the lake in winter on skies I'd stand behind the prop with my hand in the
cockpit in case it started to move. With the Chief you couldn't reach
inside from that position because the door didn't fold flat against the
fuselage. I've seen a runaway plane - it's very scary.

Subject: | Big Tundra Tires |
Anyone ever used big tires on their Piets? I've seen photos of Piets w/ larger
tires used w/ the J3 Cub gear. Those Bushwheels are really expensive($2400.00)
I can't seen to find anything cheaper. I wonder if 4 ply ATV tires could be
used...
Any thoughts?
