Ryan: One of the old magazines told of the rad. mounted below the engine
on a Scout and stated that BHP wasn't pleased with it. Didn't say why.
My guess is that it is a more complicated to build this set up then the
top mounted rad. and weighed a lot more because of additional plumbing,
the need for a header tank, plus all of the extra work to ft it into the
cowling. Stick with the top radiator, and don't add anything extra. Keep
it light, especially with the heavy underpowered Model A. Find a nice
light Aluminum radiator. For now I am planing to use a VW Golf radiator
- - 4 lbs. Don't go more than 6 to 1 with babbit. I plan to re do my
babbitt with insert bearings. Leon S.

Don,
The pilot that shot those photos flys a luscombe and posted them on the
Matronics "luscombe-silvaire site." I don't recall his name but he is
well known there.

| Subject: | Bending Flat Steel - fittings |
I've been struggling to find a good method to bend flat steel to form the "Upper
Wing Fittings" (the pieces that wrap around the spars for the cabane strut to
attach). Does anyone have a good method to bend these nicely short of using
a finger brake? I can of coarse easily make the first bend in the vise, but
the second bend about 7/8" from the first bend is the difficult one.
Do you guys also interlock the other piece of flat steel (for the cabane strut
to attach) between the bottom of the spar and the fitting described above, or
weld the tabs on to the fittings as the plan shows?
Thank you, and thanks for the recent sites of all the Pietenpol photos.

I just purchased someone elses pietenpol project. It was on E-bay if you
noticed. For the last few months I have read your emails with interest.
The ribs have been made, the fuselage is mostly done and covered,it is the
short fuselage, cabine struts are done, tail feathers are complete and
covered. It has the motor mount for a corvair and a 1964 corvair 110 HP motor
with
prop hub mounted.It looks like it will be a good project for me for awhile.
Jack Phillips ,if you want to fly down to Wilmington NC, Pilots Ridge
airport(03NC) and share your knowledge you are more than welcome.

Hi Ted,
Welcome to the list. Have fun with your new project.
I wouldn't call it stepping down to a Piet, more like stepping back to an earlier
time.

Thanks Don,
I have been looking in Trade-a-Plane and will start checking ebay. I agree
the best thing would be to put 6 inch wheels on the thing, but that would
be a project and I bought the thing so I could fly not build. I will not
fly it with unsafe tires so am still looking.
My tires may be servicable, but one has a crack so deep you can see air ;<)

dealer in Trade-a-Plane that had them at a much better price. Can't
remember who though. I'd keep an eye on ebay too. I've seen serviceable
ones go on there at a decent price. Heck at that price you might be able
to find some 800-6 tires and wheels, maybe even 850-6!

Hi Skip
I was in a Northern Tool store today and checked their supply of tires
and tubes, no luck there. I'll be going to Fleet Farm in the next day
or two. I'll check it out there.

You do have it wrong. You have stepped up to a Pietenpol.
How many times have people streamed out of an FBO to look at your
Musketeer? Do they ask to have their picture taken with you next to
your Musketeer? Corporate pilots come over out of the Lears and Falcons
to look. I have had these things happen almost every time I go to a new
field.

John,
Try taking a look at Jim's Bench-top Brake pictures on my website.
http://westcoastpiet.com/bench-top_bender.htm
I made one of these and it works great. You may want to make it
several inches longer then your bench vise. My vice is 6" and I think I
will have to make a brake that is about 9" to make the fittings your
talking about. This way, the second 90 degree bend can be made without
hitting the vice.
