Gene-- I cruise at 2150 rpm using a 72" x 42 pitch wood prop and get about
71 mph from my A-65 in the Air Camper.
My prop is a good combination of good climb and fair cruise speeds. I
think Jack Phillips has the same size prop if I'm not mistaken.
Mike C.
My numbers, Cont.A65 with my homebuilt 72 X 42 prop, are very close to what
Mike gets. Sometimes I like to pull power to about 1900 rpm to save fuel,
and just enjoy the sceenery !! At 1800 rpm, she does about 45 - 48 mph level
flight.

Steve,
Glad you can make it. I'm hoping to be there Friday the 21st. Friday and Saturday
seem to be the big days. Most everyone leaves for Oshkosh Sunday. It's
very informal. Most people donate $10-20 for the weekend. When you donate, buy
your dinner ticket. There are portable toilets and a couple of showers. You
will see great people and planes. There is usually some imbibing after the
dinner flights and a bonfire after dark.
See you there!

Hi Everybody
Well it looks like Steve from Maine will be at Brodhead. I know it has been
said before but I never thought I would be going so......... I did not pay
attention.
Could somebody give me the times and things to do and see. I remember
something about buying a dinner ticket early. Did we have to buy a pass for
the weekend etc? I will be meeting my fianc who is driving across country
with her 13 year old son and two dogs. Her son has just completed 6 months
of intensive chemo for ALL luekimia and we are all looking forward to some
fun.
Are leashed dogs OK? I assume fiance's are ok off the leash but I might be
on a short one for that comment.
As I have not yet seen a Piet in the flesh I'm looking forward to it. In
fact it is 1.30 am as I write this. I feel like a kid the night before
Christmas. Looking forward to meeting some of you.
Thanks and best regards
Steve in Maine

NX41CC has a Hegy 72x42 prop on it. I believe you'll find that most of the
people on this list flying with the A65 have a 72x42 prop.

Brodhead is very informal, and laid back..
No charges for anything like entrance, or parking.
Dogs on leash OK just clean up after their droppings.
Food is available and very good and prices are right but the evening
dinner tickets must be bought early because they are very popular and
they may be somewhat limited in quantity plus they need a head count to
know how to prepare.
Camping is available at no charge.
Much more relaxing than Oshkosh!
Come and enjoy!

Anyone know for sure how many hours I should run straight mineral oil before
I change over to Aeroshell W100, SAE50? One A&P suggested I do it now at 50
hours and another suggested I run mineral another 20 hours. The continental
manual doesn't say.

Gene,
Typically, the change should occur at around 50 hours. Aeroshell W100 is
what we recommend, but run what you feel confident in.

Hi Steve,
You may also see the Brodhead EAA chapter 431 web site (www.eaa431.org) which includes the fly-in dates and some photos of the little airport to give you an idea of the area. I think the site also has the names of some local motels. For those who may have a little spare time, there is a small brewery in the near by town of New Glarus, Wi. They offer self guided tours and samples. The town (New Glarus) is dressed up like an old Swiss village with Swiss food and shops.

Gene,
I used Aeroshell Mineral oil for break in. I did my first oil change after
about 3 or 4 hours. Second one after about 20 hrs, and third one after about
25 hours, then used Aeroshell W100 ever since. I have chrome cylinders, and it
took nearly 100 hours of operation before the oil consumption started to be
reduced. I now have about 300 hours on the engine.

Steve,
A couple of years ago I took the wife and 2 kids (6 and 11 years old at the time)
and camped with friends who brought their small dog. It was perfect. There
will be plenty of children (of literally all ages) and perhaps a dozen dogs
on leashes. You will all have a blast. Plenty of room to camp (for a small $$$
donation in the coffee can on the freezer) and a couple of showers in the main
hangar, should you feel the need. In the 4 years I've gone, I've not had
time or inclination to leave the field (except to go for a ride in Ken Perkins'
lovely orange time machine). ;)
I won't be going this year, as I will be motorcycling in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
instead and couldn't move that trip back a week to allow me to go to Brodhead
also this summer. Have fun, and I'll see you all next summer!

Howdy, 4th of July low 'n' slow fliers;
Just winding down from having to work a Monday before the 4th (get to work
on the airplane tomorrow!) and thinking about Brodhead next year. I figure
it this way:
First day, probably a Wednesday to make sure I have plenty of time, I take
off after a good preflight check, briefing, and making sure everything is in
the airplane and ready. That first day (short day, actually) is from my
home airport of San Geronimo to Shreveport, Louisiana... home to 41CC and
hush puppies, shrimp creole, and probably some cold beer. Absolutely have
to visit the birthplace of this airplane and give my warmest regards to
Kernal & Mrs. Corky in the genteel Southern way.
Next day, Thursday, will be the long one... Shreveport to somewhere around
St. Louis. Hope to find a Pietenpoler with a kind heart somewhere around
St. Louis and maybe a hangar or something, and try to find a good beef steak
with something cold to wash the bugs out of my throat. I reckon a good
shower will be in order by then, too ;o)
Third day, Friday, should be fairly easy, St. Louis to Brodhead. I'll fly
under the arch on my way out, of course ;o) Spend Friday evening, Saturday,
and early Sunday in Brodhead with a departure sometime before noon Sunday.
Maybe mosey back more towards Kansas City or Topeka, down through Oklahoma,
then straight south back home. Depends on who I meet in Brodhead and who
might be heading back which way. Anybody ever fly from Brodhead to Kansas
City or Topeka in a day in a Piet?
Just doing a little daydreaming here, folks. Without some dreams, life is
just punching a clock and paying bills. Fabric repairs and painting are
complete on 41CC, landing gear legs are back on the airplane, brake overhaul
is nearly complete. The last few items are to reinstall the fuel tank and
paint the forward cabanes and then I think we'll be ready for the wings
again.
Stars & Stripes forever, and long may she wave!

Oscar,
My wife and I cruised on our sail boat in the pacific for 12 years and our
motto is "If you don't dream, dreams can't come true".
My recent trip in N502R started as a dream and gradually became real
(although, underway I felt like I was dreaming).
If you don't mind, I'd like to dream along with you. I live halfway between
Memphis and Nashville where the showers are warm and the beer's ice cold.
Would be a good stop for you and a good place for me to start the adventure.
Just maybe we can find one or two others to join in on a trip of a life
time.
Brodhead 07, here we come!

Hey Oscar,
That should not much of a problem. Maybe we can make that return trip as a
flight of two...maybe three, if Mad Dawg Davis gets his plane flying by then.
If you're route takes you around the North side of Kansas City, I would
suggest a stop at Antique Field.
