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.

From: "Cuy, Michael D. (GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" but what to the babes say when they see that fat old guy climb out of the cockpit ? 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.

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.)

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!

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. > > > Steve > When posting this type of thing, it would be helpful to include where you > live.
