Does anyone know a good source for carb parts? ACS has a complete overhaul
kit for my MA3 carburator for $207. I'm glad to see they're available but
was hopeing I might find one for less dinero. Also...my carb's mixture lever
was broken off when I got it. Does anyone have a junk carb that they want to
sell the arm off of. Thanks in advance. Ed Grentzer in muggy Fl. Starting

Last night I attended our local EAA chapter meeting and instead of our regular
meeting place, it was held at a "pioneer village" museum that has a hangar as
one of the exhibits. Now, I knew that they had some older, unique aircraft on
the grounds, but it had been a number of years since I visited this museum.
Tucked away in the far corner under the wing of a C-47 I saw a familiar shape
- sure enough it was a Piet! The placard said it was built in 1932 by a 16 year
old... and darn if I didn't have my camera along. I'm heading back out there
this weekend to take some pictures and try to gather some more details about
this aircraft.
The reason the EAA chapter was at the museum is they were looking for help with
their collection - the years inside and the layers of dust are starting to take
their toll. Looks like we will be giving their collection a once over in the
spring to clear away the dust and cobwebs - you can guess which exhibit I will
be spending my time on!
And of course, last night I found the last box of hardware that I had packed up
when I moved - I knew it was somewhere - now I can get back to building after
a three month break!

Andrea,
My two cents worth.
Long fuselage, split landing gear.
I did move the Axle position forward as suggested by Don Pietenpol, when
using brakes.

<andrea@modelberg.it>
Hello to everybody!
First of all, a big THANK YOU to the list for the response to the first
bunch of questions! I collected and stored all the photos and documents
you guys provided, and I especially thank Chris Tracy who provided the
link to his website and to Chris Bobka's document about wheel axles
placement. Again, thanks!
Well, I decided to fire up the CAD and try to assemble a virtual Piet
with all the modifications/clarifications available so far. Not to
redesign the Piet itself but just to be a quick and clean method to
check dimensions and placements. And here is, obviously, where
confusion begins. :-(
Before getting into the hang of it, I want to explain a couple of
points which form the base for the whole discussion:
1) Our Piet is not going to enjoy any of the three de-facto "standard"
powerplants (Ford Model A, Corvair or Continental A65-8) simply because
none is available to us in Europe (even A65-8 are rarer than hen's
teeth these days, in spite of their past wide availability here).
Therefore, the powerplant will have to be something quite different,
probabily derived from a modern gas/diesel auto engine or something
like that. When time comes, appropriate calculations will be made for
engine placement, in order to obtain the correct Center of Gravity
range. I'm familiar with this procedure as I've already done it in the
past for two other airplanes, and they then checked correctly on the
scales.
2) Because of the aforementioned point, I decided to reference all my
work to the original 1933 Improved Plans i.e. considering the Piet as
having the wing position determined by the cabane struts at right
angles with the upper longeron. That is, with the important change of
the 172 3/8" long fuselage (because we believe we need the increased
tail arm as we assume a longer nose).
As already said, that's where confusion begins, because after looking
at all the photos I could see, reading Chris Bobka's comments, and even
checking the Weight and Balance sheet provided by Don Pietenpol, I saw
that the wing position can be quite different from the original one,
and not always the same. This is not very good from an engineering
standpoint, because every kind of W&B calculation assumes a CG range
with respect to the airplane Center of Lift, and not the other way
around. Not to mention the fact that, as wing placement change, so does
the tail arm length, which should be something to be taken very
seriously and not changed all too easily.
Chris Bobka's document is fine in that it works out a well-weighed
logical conclusion from a huge amount of data, but it does NOT mention
the WING anywhere. However, let's start working on BOTH fuselages
(standard and long) using some known data:
1) Standard fuselage: Bobka's axle distance from firewall: 17"
2) Long fuselage: Bobka's axle distance from firewall: 21"
3) Distance between firewall and wing leading edge, std fuselage: 6.8"
4) Distance between firewall and wing leading edge, long fuselage: 8.8"
5) Most rearward CG position (Don Pietenpol): 33% or 20" from LE
Okay, working out the math makes for TWO DIFFERENT distances between
wheel axle and most rearward C of G position for the two fuselages:
7.8" for the LONG fuselage, and 9.8" for the STANDARD fuselage.
Logic says that the distance should be the same for both fuselages, so
obviously one of them is not correct.
My own understanding says 7.8" is way too little. When the Piet is
sitting without pilots and with empty wing tank, the CG ought to be
very close to its most FORWARD position, which is probabily AHEAD of
the wheel axle in level flight, meaning the fuselage will barely stand
on the tailwheel (if it has not already tipped over). 9.8" does not
look really good either, but it's the closest (by 1/2" if I'm not
mistaken) to the measurements on the Improved 1933 Plans.
Again, I state that the wing is going to be exactly where shown on the
plans, and the correct placement of the powerplant will bring the CG
range within the correct limits. And none of the measurements for
placing Ford/Corvair/Continental engines will apply, as the powerplant
will NOT be either one of these.
So, where should I place my wheel axles?
All the Pieters out there, where is YOUR wheel axle and YOUR wing
leading edge with respect to the firewall, and HOW does your Piet
behave during landing and on the ground?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
SeeYa!

Subject: | Source for brass grease cups |
Hi Guys,
I have found a source for the really cool brass grease cups that are used
(for decoration) on the Ken Perkin's style hubs for the spoked wheels. To my
surprise, there was Bob's Antique Auto Parts right across town in Loves Park
IL. _www.bobsantiqueautoparts.com_ (http://www.bobsantiqueautoparts.com) .
They are a very large store and warehouse that specializes in Model T parts.
The part number for the brass grease cups is T-2545-B.
These are real nice and a perfect fit for the hubs. You will have to
drill/tap for the tapered pipe thread size 1/8" -27 threads per inch. You do
not
have to actually put grease in the cups if you use the oilight bronze bearings.

Geee everybody that sees my plane sez it's a Pietenpol.Just because it

say Pietenpol with Grega mods.It's more Pietenpol than Grega if you want

Subject: | Re: latex test square (long) |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Jim Carriere <jimcarriere@yahoo.com>
This is to say thank you to everyone who responded and took the
topic from there.
My greatest concern is that a month (never mind several months) of
outdoor tie-down can rack up a few hundred hours of sun and UV
exposure, and how well will the paint remain flexible (houses flex a
lot less than aircraft fabric). I think one of the early responses,
from Dick Navratil, summed it up, that the worst case is re-covering
in a few years at relatively little financial loss. That paints a
pretty nice picture (pun intended).
The other experiences about the test square and repairs (remove
paint with a hot iron... who wouldda thought?) are great and make
the long-term sound promising.
So, I've decided to go ahead and use latex on my plane later this
year.
Thanks again, keep the building and flying safe and fun

PS- almost forgot, to Dick in particular, I like your Rotec radial
powered project. I've had an R2800 for quite some time, and am now
finally weeks away from removing it from the crate to hang on my
project. I'll finally have some pictures to send to Rotec for their website.

Well Jim just one more thing to think about. IF you decide to go a
route that would put the cover at risk the worst case isn't having to
recover in a year or two. The worst case is having that cover fail in
flight. I'm not saying which method of paint, cover, ect you should
use. If you use something different with the cover, Id adapt a much
more intensive program to check that cover to make sure its still
structurally sound.

I don't know, but I would sure be tempted to take a closer look at the top
of the tower. That one photo shows a fairly level and clear spot there. It
looks a heck of a lot like the top of "Table Rock" north of Medford, Oregon
where I spent many hours... and put down a Super Cub a time or three. I'll
bet a Piet could put down on top of that tower were it not for the rules
against it... ;o)

Has anybody seen or made a cover for your Piet, the kind that wraps over the
wing center section and takes in the entire cockpit area with straps under
the belly? Corky provided cockpit covers for the two individual cockpits on
41CC but when you park the airplane at a fly-in or other place away from
your home base, the cover that takes in the whole cockpit area would be
nice. It would also swallow up the fuel filler on 41CC (just ahead of the
forward windscreen), which would prevent rain from getting into it in a
shower. I thought of this when I saw the pictures from the t'storms at
Oshkosh and I've seen the covers made of an aluminized reflective outer
material with a soft tricot inner lining.
Just wondering if anybody has tried it. Seems like it would be easy enough
to make a pattern and sew one up.

Oscar,
I bet that Coverlight would work well. Look at http://www.yostwerks.com
for how Tom Yost builds folding kayaks. Click on PVC Skinning on the right
side of the window. I found the fabric for about $18/yard and the glue for
$10/quart in Rochester, NY. My use was to make some dry bags for a camping
trip. The original use for the fabric is tarps for trucks.
