>He had a mini biplane named after a Humming bird in Spanish.
"El Chuparosa". I think Ray took that airplane to quite a few fly-ins, as
it was well known at the time.
>As I remember, and that's not too good lately, this plane had a true
>scimtar propeller.
Ray being a prop-maker, I'll bet "Chuparosa" had a dozen different props on
it while he flew it... maybe more. No telling what experimental props he
ran on it! I found one picture of the airplane on the Steen Aerolabs site
and it shows a semi-scimitar with square tips. You can see this photo and
the prop at http://www.flysquirrel.net/Chuparosa.jpg
>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.
I have not had the chance to fly the airplane as much as I would like, but
so far it's just as Corky describes. I haven't had a huge passenger aboard
yet, haven't flown it in high or hot conditions, but so far it seems very
sprightly on takeoff and I love the way it climbs out. I was surprised at
the cruise- it will cruise at a lot better than 70 MPH but then again the
engine can be easily run over redline in straight & level flight if I
firewall the throttle. I believe it is just about a perfect balance for
this airplane and its mission, and I do not plan to ever think about
different props on this airplane.
My respect for Corky grows every time I see the reason why he did some of
the things that he did on this airplane. It is a fine flying machine.

I assume you wiggle them in at an angle through the bracket first then
put the whole assembly into the holes in the spar.
like a chinese puzzle.

They are not hard to do. Just drop the bolts into the bracket, and feed
the bolts thru the holes in the spar. When secured with large flats and
nuts, you assemble the pullies in place.
Not nearly as hard as assembling the tail wheel to the tail frame assy

Very pretty work,only thing that would bother me is there is not really a brace
to carry the side load as the cable pulls on them the way I see that.-I realize
there isn't a great deal ,but the pull would be at about a 45 degree angle
down the length of the spar would it not? the drawings I have for the GN-1 have
the bracket built with 2 bolts and the strength runing parallel to the spar-horizontal.I
know they need to lean some to align with the horn end but I would
be concerned if I didn't add some type of brace there.Raymond

Raymond,
These brackets look identical to mine, and I'm sure many many others, as
they are per the 1933 BHP Hoopman plans. I'm sure these types of brackets have
performed satisfactorily in the air for many years and hours. In this
application, there is not a lot of side load to speak of, because you can only
tighten the aileron cables so much before everything binds up.

Hi everybody
Today first day of spring it is possible to stand a raw egg on end. It is a
good test and I know it can be done as I did it today.
I better start Piet construction soon before I go completely off the deep
end.

Well if it's not broke don't fix it I guess-thanks for the heads up.as you can
tell I have not seen a set of original Piet plans and I have no doubt if they
have been built for that long they have proved themselves.I had no intention of
stepping on anyones toes-just would rather be wrong than see anybody hurt.Raymond

I'm looking for a propeller crush plate for my continental A 65.
Anyone have one they want to sell or know where I can find one? Bought
one off E-bay about 6 months ago and it doesn't fit (too big). I'm also
looking for a good camshaft for the A65.
Thank you
Gene

Thank you very much Mike and guys!!! i'm building the Piet with my brother. About
those bolts, we put them in place before welding because we remember what Mike
said in his video (thanks again). Otherwiswe it wont fit because of the angled
tab. No problem with the other end (less angle). I also will install cable
guards. The wing is now hanging in the local "Aeroclub" hangar (I really miss
her). I promise more photos soon if you guys are not tired of looking piet
bones.

Ryan;
There are two Piet projects for sale in Huntsville, Alabama... 700 mi. from
Lakeland. The nicer one is ready to mount a Ford Model A engine on it and
the engine is part of the project. They are in the estate of our departed
Pietenpoler Carl Vought. Information on the two projects is available at
