    Subject: Re: Jenny landing gear & ash cross member
    Hi Santiago, Yes, the ash cross members are necessary. They stiffen and reinforce the plywood floor between the gear leg attach points. The metal strap addition is a good idea also. Greg C. ----- Original Message ----- From: santiago morete To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 10:02 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Jenny landing gear & ash cross member I am building the jenny style landing gear and since there are no ash cross members in the F&GM for this type of gear, I am wondering if it is really necesary. As far as I know, most of you use them anyway, but there is a reason? I hope that my english has been sufficiently clear . Thanks to all.

    I can't beat 20' but I did have a ground roll of less than 100' in a 20kt wind straight down the runway. Even in windless conditions the ground roll is only a few hundred feet. This is in NX18235 which is brakeless. Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message ----- > > About 20' ground roll once in the piet. It was downright scary.

    From: "Phillips, Jack" <Jack.Phillips@cardinal.com>
    I think my shortest landing was at Oshkosh in 2005. I had flown from Brodhead on Sunday morning and landed on runway 18. Winds were 250 at 20 kts, gusts to 25 (remember the winds that morning, Chuck?). I didn't measure it (are you kidding - this is OSHKOSH!), but I touched down just in front of the big painted dot on the end of the runway and stopped rolling just on the other side of the dot. I think it was well under 200'. I was just glad to get it down safe in such a crosswind, never mind in front of such a crowd of highly critical spectators. It sure wasn't the softest landing I've ever made, but it was the shortest. The so-called "RV Grin" was nothing compared to the grin I had that day.

    I landed my N3 Pup one day and it was only about 15 ft by the marks on the grass runway. I had inadvertently applied brakes. They are at my heels and it's an easy mistake to make. I was very surprised and very glad I had that stick pulled right back. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, nobody saw it.

    Harvey, Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know how much your 72X42 Tennesse Prop weighed? I'm going to be replacing a metal prop and I'm a little concerned about the weight difference. Have thought about adding a battery in the engine compartment to off set the difference.

    I've 14 hours of ground run time on my Tennesee 66x29. It's a well made prop. One of the only propr makers that I know of that use 1/16" laminations. There are 48 laminations on my prop and it's very sturdy and tracks dead on.

    Gene, I use a Tennessee prop, 64 x 34 on my Corvair powered Piet. It is a well made prop, I have the urethane leading edge option. The prop is excellently balanced and performs well, I have about 40 hours on it and it show little wear, I fly from grass. I would definitely buy from Tennessee prop again Hans

    Subject: Jay Anderson Cloudcars & Tennessee propellers
    From: "Phillips, Jack" <Jack.Phillips@cardinal.com>
    I've got a certified Sensenich 72 x 42 and I'm not all that happy with it. On the way back from OSH in 2005, I flew through some pretty heavy rain (got myself soaked). The rain knocked all the varnish off the brass leading edge, although the varnish on the wood itself seemed to hold up alright. I don't think it is pitched right for a Pietenpol climb prop as I can't get full redline RPM in level flight at full throttle. I've got a St. Croix that is 74 x 36 that I want to try this spring, to see if I can get a little better climb.

It is a well made prop, I have the urethane leading edge option. The prop is excellently balanced and performs well, I have about 40 hours on it and it show little wear, I fly from grass. I would definitely buy from Tennessee prop again Hans _________________________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privilege d, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

    Gene, I do not know much about props but can tell you my experience with Tennessee Props. I ordered one for my Challenger Ultralight some 9 years ago. Upon receiving it, I tested it for balance and found it to be near perfect! Having said that, of the other 5-8 challenger operators whom had the same prop, none were even close to being balanced. As I recalled, the blade would drop quite fast to the bottom of our balance rod. Many people sanded their until close to balance and then re-coated them. I eventually ordered the Warp Drive three blade ground adjustable for less noise and better performance. Again....just my 2 pennies worth. I hope they have improved since then....

Does anyone have any knowledge of Cloudcars or Tennessee props and how well or how poorly they perform Also would be interested in anyones opinion of any other props (good or bad) they have used.

    I'm with you on that, Jack. A couple of weeks ago in discussion, someone had much better climb performance with the same engine. It would be worth the change if we could climb out better.
