Subject: | Flying ATL to Brodhead: grass strips? |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Phillips, Jack" <Jack.Phillips@cardinal.com>
Try a sectional chart. Seriously, that's the easiest way I know. Look
at a sectional, pick a grass strip that's close to your route, then look
it up on the AOPA website Airport Directory to see if they have fuel.
Finding grass strips is easy. Finding grass strips with public fuel is
much more difficult.
Where are you coming from, Jeff?

I'm pondering flying the Piet up to Brodhead this summer. I prefer to
land at grass strips. Do you guys know if there are flight planning
tools that allow searching for waypoints based on runway surface?
Thanks,

Look at those performance numbers
132 Vne
106 Cruise
45 Vs1
Max ceiling 12000 ft
Not low and slow.
No pictures either ( are those numbers real ?)
I doubt they build one themselves
Some pictures on the low camper, click to enlarge (and color) nice one
piece three panel wind screens.

Good point, since most all aircraft/epoxy is flexible by design it doesn't
sound like it would be the best to use. What types of paint are hard and
brittle?

Subject: | Re: off subject - experimental ladder plane |
Hi Rick,
Yes, you are partially right, not small (I am 6 ft tall and have space to spare
for my legs) but thin. Pilot has to get betwen the ladder spars (cut off
two steps).
When I started building it, the first part to build (was already built:-) was
the fuselage, just messure and cut the steps off to make the seat. At 72 kgs
( about 160 lbs) that time, I could barely fit, so I beguin loosing weight
during the building process, until I got at 65 kgs (145) and fit perfect even
with a winter jacket, also I feel lot better...
Sure not an airplane for Corona drinkers :-)
There is a variant of this airplane that uses two ladders as fuselage sides,
that could be made to fit a bigger pilot... but not to heavy, remember is in
the ultralight category and probably performance could suffer...
Saludos

Anyone ever see a website devoted to an experimental airplane constructed out of
extension ladders? I'm not making this up! I can't seem to find the site any
more. =================================================

Ken asked-

Well, you can check page 15 of the following .pdf file to see how the
jetting and venturi on that carb were done on the small Continentals:
http://www.aeronca.com/ServiceLetters/cont_m47_16.pdf
Note that the larger venturi was used on the larger engines. The C-85 is a
188 cu. in. engine rated at a nominal 85 HP. Also, from William's
FlyCorvair Q&A page: "In the interest of more power, I would suggest the
larger 1 3/8" Stromberg venturi. The smaller one is effectively limited to
85 or 90hp on a Corvair." I don't believe the jetting will change.

I believe Ben is correct, in that automotive epoxy paint is a Hard paint.
Wouldn't be a good choice for a fabric airplane, unless a flex agent is used
with it. I think the best way is to experiment with the paint you are planning
on using, by painting a piece of sheet metal, and when it is cured, bend it
and see if the paint cracks. Maybe someone else has done this research, or
knows what type paint they use on the welds of crane equipment. (crack paint)

Anyone buy a tail wheel spring for the A-arm style tail wheel lately? I
know the John Deer part number but I was wondering if there were any other
options. Anyone know what the Price tail wheel plans call for?

Next Wed eve, April 19, I will be hosting EAA Chapter 25 monthly meeting at my
hangar at Crystal Airport (MIC), in the Minneapolis, MN. area. Any and all are
invited to attend.
The BBQ will be on after about 6:00 pm, meeting will start at 7:00. Weather permitting,
we can fire up the Rotec radial on my new project which ran for the
first time today. It runs pretty smooth. I am finishing up annual on NX2RN and
that one should be back together by then also.
Anyone needing directions contact me off list.

Chris,
I had one made by a spring maker a few months ago. Only cost $35 (That's
Ausie money-not real money) so in the States I'm guessing 15 to 20 bucks.
Placed the order over the phone and had it in three days!

Mike I have the money to finally buy my wheels. I noticed in the archives
you said your rims are 3.5" inches wide by 19" inches. The Henderson plans
use a 1.85" by 21". Are your rims really 3.5 inches wide? I like the idea
of the wider tires to give more cushion.
Thanks
