| Subject: | Pietenpol as babe magnet? |
I don't know what it is about the Pietenpol, but women do seem to like them.
I get the same comment from just about every lady that has seen 41CC: it's
cute and they want a ride in it. Must be the romance of flying in an open
cockpit with hair and scarf waving in the wind.
Most of the men who look at the airplane seem to be, how shall I say this,
"gravitationally challenged" as well as "showing the experience of many
years"... not old and fat ;o) I do wish more youngsters realized the beauty
of these older designs and could just unhook themselves from the electronics
and glass panels for a minute or two. One look in the cockpit and most of
the kid types seem to wander on to something more exciting. And almost
without exception, every non-pilot that looks at the Pietenpol asks where
the radio is. When told that it has no radio and not even an electrical
system, they go white with horror that I could fly it without "permission
from the tower" or without being "in radar contact with somebody".
My A&P should be back in the saddle by Wednesday after New Year's, so it
shouldn't be long now before we'll be able to taxi test and flight test
after he pulls the annual on it.

Thank you Oscar, you just gave me a way to justify to my fellow Piet
builders adding electronic elevator trim (with an LED position sensor) and
an I-K AIM Lite engine monitor to my Piet (Corvair engine). Now I can just
say that I am attempting to bridge the generation gap by getting all these
video game playing kids interested in aviation.

Say Rick, I can tell you first-hand what the babes say when an old fat
guy gets out of the cockpit: "what a cute little plane you have, sir "
I learned quickly that the women are really not interested in the pilot
at all, unless he is a soap-look-alike, but tis the airplane that
attracts them.

Happy New Year, guys !

I got a cutting torch with my Smith torch kit. It doesn't work well on
thin material. 1/8 or thicker it works good. I wish I could afford a
plasma cutter for fittings made of thin material. I used the cutting
torch to cut some landing gear ( lower and upper shock strut lugs )
fittings from 1/4" material. I have also used it a lot for other things
here on the farm. I learned not to use too small a tip on welding. The
gas/ox works as a coolant for the tip. Using too small a tip allowed the
tip to get to hot and the gas-ox will ignite inside the tip causing that
annoying POP that blows your puddle away in a shower of sparks. (and
could burn your house down.) Leon S. in Ks. dodging another Col.

I ordered mine from Advance Auto Parts. I believe the part specified in
William Wynn's book is the same one that fits a 96 Ford Explorer's sway
bar. I was ordering some other stuff and just added that to my order so
the shipping was free. :-)

couldn't ask for a better price than that for a complete set.

Re plywood,
A friend who had a small used car lot built a KR-2 a few years ago that is
still flying.
He used "door skin" that he bought at the local lumberyard for plywood to
make those pieces that cover the joints. To test, he put a piece on the
floor of his car wash bay and left it for a year or so. It did not
deteriorate ate and he felt free to use the material in his aircraft
project.
But! Don't take my word. Do your own test!

----- Dick-I live near Hale MO. about two hr drive North east of KC MO. I'd
sure like to hear from somebody that has used the marine plywood. If there
is anybody within a 2 or 3 hour drive of me that has any sruce to sell to
make the longerons i'd sure be interested in buying it. I believe i have
enough for the rest of the fuseledge. If i have to make the 4 1/2 hour drive
to Wicks fore my longeron material then I'l probable get the plywood there
also.
