Guys-- thought I would second the notes by Dr. Gantzer (we love you, man)
on his oil type and consumption.
I too run Aeroshell 100 and with plain steel cylinders and 4130 Chromoly
piston rings I consume about 1 quart in
50 hours or so, perhaps less.

To all who have complimented my little film (Jim, Mike, Bill)... Thanks.
Glad you liked it.
I was starting to wonder if the file size was too big to get posted to
Photoshare, since it took a couple of weeks to appear. The original file
was about 12Megs, but it was too big for me to e-mail, so I compressed
it down by half to send it through (still a rather large file at 6Megs).
The footage was just shot with a digital still camera, set on "movie"
mode, then I used Windows Movie Maker (that comes standard with Windows)
to edit and paste together the clips, and add the intro and music. Even
the "antiquing" at the end was done with that program. If the people in
that last scene were wearing 1930's style clothing, I think you'd
believe it was old film from the thirties. It's amazing what this
software enables amateurs like me to accomplish.

Wondering what your wheels weigh, each -- those of you using motorcycle or
the custom-built spoked wheels, with tires installed?
(Yes, I'm working on the landing gear...)

I didn't weigh each wheel individually but the complete undercarriage
for NX18235 weighs 60 lbs.
That includes gear legs, axle, spreader bars, bungee cords, wheels and
tires, all bracing cables and turnbuckles.

Hi Dan,
NX18235 sits at an angle of 12.2 degrees with the Jenny style gear and
19" wheels.
I don't know if it is "proper" or not but landings are quite easy. There
is no tendency to float when touching down in a 3-point or skid first
attitude at 35 - 40 mph and roll-outs are very short because there is a
LOT of wing exposed at 12.2 degrees.
Small picture attached.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage inclination
Hi Folks
Can anybody tell me what their fuselage inclination angle is, while
sitting on the ground? What is the "proper" angle. I will have the
Jenny style gear with spoked wheels and a Ford A engine with what prop I
do not know yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
