Greetings
We moved into a new place this month, , , with shop space big enough for airplane
building at last. My ISP couldn't forward my service so I have a new email
address. How do I change settings on this list to continue to receive the digest?

Rob,
I have not seen the Wynne video on engine disassembly so I can't comment.
But taking one apart is the easy part.
Putting it back together is the hard part.
If you are unfamiliar with engine rebuilding, get William Wynne's tapes.
I only have the introduction tape but that seemed very informative.
For rebuilding the Corvair you must get, WW Manual, Richard Finch's book on
Corvair and the GM Shop manual

comment

Rick,
The only problem I see with this is that the Elevator flippers are not
connected (no torque tube)
Thus you trim only one flipper and not the other.
Unless of course you place servos in both.
Same for aluminum trim tabs
Further the elevator cables are 3/32 with a strength of 1000+ Lbs.
With a 1 : 5 ratio on your stick you will need to put 200 Lbs of force on
the stick to break something.
The only way you will such high stress on the tail surfaces is during
aerobatics (better bring a parachute)

Great idea, call it an ailevator. If you lose aileron control you can turn
using differential elevator and rudder control. Just like the controls on a
flying wing.

Rick,
I would put one on both, otherwise one would be in trim and one not.
You will get a rolling effect.
The cable and bellcrank system will transfer some trim to the other flipper
but not as efficient as a rigid torque tube.

On my old Lazair we used to have things called ruddervators on the
inverted V.They would both go up and down for elevator and for rudder
they would both go in the same direction .Very interesting set up on the
mixer at the front.If you ever get near a Lazair Ultralight,check it
out.

I have thought of installing independent elevator trim as you see on
Pipers and Cessnas. Have even looked at the Mac electronic trim servos,
just a big RC servo that would fit inside one of the flippers with 3

On my N3 Pup I have an in cabin control for cranking in and out for tab
setting either way,but the tab itself is only on one elevator and it's
close to the rudder side of that elevator.I don't get any role from
it,even when fully activated.

Hi,
I have the disassembly video. Like the stage 1 assembly video it is good. He
talks you through deciding what to keep and what to discard and gives you a heads-up
on things that are problematic and what areas people tend to break when
they do it incorrectly. What I value most in all of his materials is that he
presents it in a way that reduces the process of disassembly and making the conversion
to a straight-forward process that any careful somewhat mechanically
inclined individual should be able to reproduce. For the $20 I spent for the
video I think it was worth it.
I'm not a mechanic but I am a careful, mechanically inclined individual.
That's my opinion.

Fred when choosing brakes bear in mind that with large diameter wheels
it takes a lot of brake to stop it (airplanes quit using large wheels
about the same time they started using brakes). Look at the size of the
front disc on a Harley-Davidson. Most go-kart brakes have pretty small
discs (because they have small wheels).
I have regular 6" Cleveland hydraulic disc brakes on my Pietenpol, with
21" wheels. The brakes will stop it (gently), and will hold it for a
run-up but cannot hold it at full throttle. My advice would be to use
the largest diameter discs you can find.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brakes
I'm looking in to various go-kart brakes for my Piet and just wondering
what most of you use -- the mechanically actuated disc brakes, or the
hydraulic juice brake calipers. I see advantages/disadvantages to both
and wanted to see what all of the experts have to say! I'm building the
Jenny-style landing gear and will use disc brakes -- just wondering if
mechanical or juice...
Got all the tail feathers finished over the weekend -- less hinges (will
install those tonight). Came out nice and light...then I'll get the
fuselage down from the ceiling joists and start putting landing gear
together...

I hope you guys will forgive me if this has shown up on the list, but I
don't think it ever made it. I think it wound up in the spam heap.
Attached is a photo of A rib jig I made while buiding an Airbike wing.
It is mounted on a piece of particle board shelving and uses toggle
clamps instead of nails or staples. The advantage is that you can glue
gussets on both sides at one time. A little waxpaper helps keep the rib
from sticking to the jig.......Carl Vought

I have thought about using Mtn Bike disk brakes. The largest I have seen
are 203mm or about 8", but another factor is that the pads probably
don't have as much surface area Clevland pads or even small go-kart pads
- so the friction coefficient between the pad and brake will be less
I'll do a bit more research and try to figure it out.
Is there anyone that has used MTB disk brakes on a Piet? Hydraulic or
Mechanical? What size wheels? What size disk? Shimano, Avid,.....?

window and, doggoneit, I couldn't find any suitable planking material in
the 2 foot section, but there was a beautiful 2x10x16 with the sweetest
grain, that should work fine(for a plank that will soon be my fuselage

No plans, no ply, but at least I have my wood!!

Hi Fred,
I have 19" spoked wheels on mine. I use a 5" mechanical drum brake from Kart World
out of Cleveland, OH. The brakes are very simple and low profile. They
are cable actuated and are attached to hand levers under the instument panel.
The hand levers are just aftermarket motorcycle handles from a local motorcycle
shop. They are placed close enough together that I can hold both of them at
once for the run-up. They are just enough to barely hold the run-up. Sometimes,
by the time I finish the run-up I've crept a foot or so. I can deal with
that. The only other time I use them is for taxiing. They seem to be okay
for that. A liitle planning ahead is a good idea too.

Bill...
The wheel covers are just regular doped fabric. I made an aluminum disk/ring at
the hub on both the inside and the outside. Glued the fabric to it then positioned
it over the hub. Then just glued the fabric around the inside edge of
the rim where the tire mounts. Made sure I had a few inches of glued area around
there. Then just finished it like any other doped fabric. Tire mounting
is not fun! Lots of soap, little wood wedges, cussing, and sore fingers. I
am not looking forward to replacing those things some day. I'll have to make
sure the kids aren't around when I do!

So attaching a metal trim tab to the back of one flipper will not fix a pitch
trim problem? You must put a tab on both?
Rick,
If you are using this method, you need a trim tab on Both flippers. I would
caution against using metal tabs, because holes for the screws in the wood
will not only weaken the wood slightly, it is also a point for moisture
infiltration.

Great idea, call it an ailevator. If you lose aileron control you can turn
using differential elevator and rudder control. Just like the controls on a
flying wing.
One of the guys in my Hillhoppers R. C. Flying Club (years ago) used separate
servo's on each half of the flippers, and coupled them with the ailerons,
using the new type computer radio. The intent was to get a higher roll rate.
It
made no noticable difference. Conclusion was that the flippers do not have a
long enough arm away from the longititude axis to have any effect, other than
causing a lot of drag and slowing down the airspeed. Lesson learned.

Group,
I am planning a cross-country trip (driving) from Utah to Broadhead, and then on
to Air Adventure at Oshkosh. I am bringing my 3 young boys, 12, 9, and 5. I
hope to give them a good dose of Piet exposure. Does anyone have any recommendations
for camping at Broadhead, and campgrounds near Oshkosh? I have looked
at the Air Adventure planning on their website, but not familiar with the area,
I don't know which sites are better than others. I'm sure reservations fill
up fast. Hopefully something with fishing close by, to entertain the boys in the
evening. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Don,
How did you enlarge the hole in the backing plates to fit over the axel and
the hubs? How did you mount them? Pictures?
