"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.

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 Walt Evans NX140DL "No one ever learned anything by talking" ----- Original Message ----- From: Gene Rambo To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 1:27 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pulleys . . . and you put those bolts through the pulley brackets how?????????

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. Dan Helsper Poplar Grove, IL.

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.

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 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 07:29:34 PM PST US From: santiago morete Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pulleys 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. Santiago --------------------------------- Pregunt. Respond. Descubr.
