A few years ago, '58 or'59, I attended a flyin in Waco where I met Ray Hegy.
He had a mini biplane named after a Humming bird in Spanish. As I remember, and
that's not too good lately, this plane had a true scimtar
propeller.
I ordered my prop for 41CC from Hegy but Ray has long been gone and his grandson
Jim Corder made me a beautiful semi-scimitar. He also made another for 311CC
which I sold with the project. Jim has moved from Marfa, Texas to Olathe, Colorado.
His phone is 970 323 6341. He just might have some of his grandpas patterns
for a full scimitar. Good luck

| Subject: | Nice brakes: So Cal Pietenpol |
Group: of possible interest from EAA Chapter 1279. Nice setup, eh
?
Hi Mike,
One of our members, Dick Staley, told me that he had been
communicating with you regarding the progress on our Pietenpol here at
French Valley in Southern California. He said you questioned whether we
were planning to install brakes. Perhaps he answered your question
already. Here are some photos of the brake system we are using. It is
WAY more elaborate than we really need. But it was donated (by Dick
Staley, as a matter of fact), so we are using it and fabricating
whatever we need to make it work.
The brake system is European made and intended to be used on
racing Go-Karts. It is a hydraulic system with two master cylinders.
So we have the capacity to have differential braking. We are debating
whether that is really necessary, though. In the interest of
simplicity, we are thinking of installing a single brake lever just to
hold the airplane for run up etc. We still have not made any firm
decision on that yet.
As always, thanks for your interest. By the way, did you see
the article regarding our workshops and project in the Chapter Hangar
section of the current issue of Sport Aviation? It was written a year
ago, so we have made some progress since then. We were thrilled to get
the exposure, though.
Steve Williamson, Pres.
EAA Chapter 1279

Corky,
I had previously posted the fact that I have a scimitar on my Piete made by
Jay Anderson in TX. Was wondering, what engine did you have cranking your
semi-scrimitar? The one I have is on a 108hp Lyco, and I get about 2550
rpms,
on takeoff and 2200 static. Wonder if a corvair or less hp engine could
swing a scrimitar. Anyone out there wanting to try this may want to get the
pitch right for the HP available. These props have a heck of a lot of bite.

Gordon,
It is a Hegy 72X42 on a tapered shaft Cont A-65. Good climbout and moderate
cruise. Check with Oscar he now owns the plane.

Robert; If you still need a prop, I have a Hegy 66 X 30, that I'll probably never
use. I bought it 4-5 years ago with a Corvair engine and its been hanging
on the wall since then. I was told it only had a few hours on it and it looks
like new. If you are interested e-mail me at my e-mail address. Jerome

I am getting ready to rig the aileron cables on my GN-1.I see in the plans that
it calls for AN-210.I do not see the diameter and from looking at the plans the
only thing I can find to give a size is the pulley guard distance of 1 1/16
- that indicates to me that the 2" O.D. ones are big enough though from reading
the A/S catalog I'm not sure those are acceptible for flight controls on 90
degree bends.Is this what most are using? Raymond

| Subject: | Where to get Copies of old US Government Manuals |
For anyone interested in wood aircraft design, I found this place on the
internet late last week and purchased ANC-18 and ANC-19 from them. These
are mostly photo copies of the old government publications. They are good
copies, bound in a two hole cardboard cover type thingy with the bent metal
prongs thingy you would use in an office. I'm happy with what I got for the
price. Service was great. Shipping was fast.
