--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" <taildrags@hotmail.com>
Well, I couldn't believe things were so slow in the low 'n' slow Pietenpol
world that there were zero messages in the digest from yesterday. Nothing.
So here's my 9-11 report on NX41CC. My hangar mate and I are being evicted
from our hangar. It was sold so we are having to move. The bad part is
that I'm leaving on vacation for two weeks starting Wednesday, so I won't be
here to help my buddy with the heavy lifting. I did work all day Saturday
boxing things up, sweeping, and moving excess materials out of the hangar.
What I didn't mention is that we are only moving to a hangar behind us here
at San Geronimo Airpark, not across town or anything, so it isn't a huge
distance but it's just as much effort as moving across town, it seems.
The airplane is ready for the wings. Everything is complete on the
fuselage, the engine has been run tested and is ready for prime time. I do
have a new carb gasket and venturi to change out to see if I can help the
rich running condition, and I don't have my smoke system fully worked out
yet, but those are not essential items at this time.
When I get back from the Mediterranean the end of this month, the wings will
go back on the airplane, new W&B will be done, and we'll see if she can get
air under her wings again. Shoot, maybe I'll help out the Minutemen
patrolling the border down here once the airplane is flying again... I think
it flies slow enough to give border crossers plenty of advance warning that
they are about to be surveilled. And by golly, I'll be able to hit 'em with
a blanket of smoke for good effect!
See y'all in two weeks, and don't have too much fun Pietenpoling without me!

So much for the rumor that only Corvair engines have crankshaft problems:
http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/717-full.html#193160
You would think that when you fork over $25,000 to $40,000 for a stinkin
engine they could verify that the crankshaft is good.

That's the fun of being in the home builders business,you just never
really know what your going to get and you really have to know your
stuff or at least have someone around that knows their stuff.I got stung
on an engine that I bought off ebay.It was only 720$ Cnd but still ,we
had to literally rebuild that sucker.I might as well have bought a new
one from a manufacturerby the time I got finished it cost me around the
same amount of money.Crazy baby!

Congratulations goes to Hans Van der Voort. I see Hans has complimented the "completions"
section of the recent "EAA Sport Aviation" magazine with his Pietenpol.
Nice work Hans.

Oscar--- great to hear of your progress but Chuck Gantzer and I beg to
differ on your stance that smoke might not be essential for
flight. Technically you're right but to be able to say for a FUN flight,
you must have a full container of smoke oil on takeoff. Puff once before
takeoff just before you put out the leading edge slats and 20 degrees of
flaps, okay ? :)))

Speaking of Mr. Gantzer and his antics in the air, I was driving to the store with
my 5-year-old son (and building partner). On our way, we drove past a tree
that had been adorned with a roll of toilet paper, or TPed as we say out west.
From the backseat I hear Hey Dad, I just saw a tree that had been decorated
with toilet paper. Then trying to be the good parent I said, Ya, not a good thing
for people to do is it. The he replies, No, but I bet its from that guy
who was trying to cut the toilet paper with his airplane. Thats probably where
it came from. I had a good chuckle out of that one. I guess I know what he will
want to do when we get this plane done.
So Chuck, been around Sacramento lately? If so, my son says it looks like you
miss again.

Yes but these are bad cranks coming with brand new Lycomings, not cheap eBay
junk.

Rick,
I couldn't find what engines are effected. I have an O-320-E2D sitting out
in my garage, to be bolted to the nose of my Wittman Tailwind W10. It's out of
a '67 Cessna 172. Do you know what engines are effected ?

Yes, I saw that one. Congrats to Hans !!
Hey Hans, did you confirm that the MoGas was the culprit on your last flight
? I'm very interested in your conclusion, and I'm sure many others are too.

Yep, and for safety sake, I always give a few puffs when entering the
pattern, or crossing over any thresholds of any airport, or in the vicinity, or
when
I see other planes in the sky. However, the Smokin' Take Off always looks
cool when I turn around to see the vorticies curling up !! I think Smoke oil in
the tank rates up close there to Fuel in the tank !!
Hey Oscar, that Boarder Patrol sounds like a Great idea !!

LOL !!
Well, you can let him know that it was NOT me !! I haven't been to the
Sacramento area !! I've been getting better on the cuts, and with a little more
practice, I'll be leaving nothing but bits & pieces !! A couple of times I got
Two cuts on the same roll...gotta climb way up to initiate that one.
