(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" 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 French Valley, CA Disc, caliper, and master cylinders Caliper as it will be mounted on axle. Note aluminum spacer on the hub. Current photo of our Piet next to a fun project I built last year for my grandson. ________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

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.

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.

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. http://www.esscoaircraft.com/HARD_TO_FIND_BOOKS_s/16323.htm Still cutting landing gear legs Chris Tracy Sacramento, Ca Website at http://www.Westcoastpiet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
