Hi Mike,
Nice post, thanks. Honestly, the worst possible thing that can happen when you
post a question on a forum is that no one finds it interesting enough to respond.
While at one point I was a bit surprised by the seemingly negative tone of
some of the responses, I genuinely appreciate that so many people shared an opinion.
I'd love to see some AirCampers. On the Corvair website there was mention of a
"Corvair Wings and Wheels fly-in at Alliance, Ohio" on June 8th, 9th, and 10th.
Not close, but doable for me. Is this something that some of you might attend?
Last, I really love some features of this forum like the down-loadable archives. But I'm curious what causes the divergence of threads? Many times when I see Mike Cuy respond for example, his response is a new thread. I'm using the web forum at http://forums.matronics.com/viewforum.php?f=7 not email. Perhaps if people are using email and give their reply a new subject it creates a new thread? This question spawned about 10 threads which made it a little tough to follow.
Best Regards,
Gene

There you have it. I too work with a lot of LDS, (about 30,000 of them
:-) BYU is a private LDS university).
Interestingly, about 5 years ago I got a call from a fellow piet
builder, and lister who joined the LDS church and wanted to let me know
that it was partly due to the friendliness of this list that influenced
his interest in learning more about it.
For those of you who are wondering what this has to do with Pietenpols,
here is a little history:
I started building my piet while serving as an LDS bishop, and started
this list on a BYU listserve in 1995. Although I'm just a participant
of the list now, as the moderator in the early days, I stressed good
relations, no swearing, and no flaming. I unsubscribed any violators so
the piet list would remain user friendly, and clean. I am very pleased
that these qualities have endured, and the reputation of the list is
still a good one. Over the years I have enjoyed meeting many members
of the list at Brodhead, and visiting virtually with many others. May
the online piet community continue timeless, like the Pietenpol
Aircamper itself has for so many decades... (now thanks to Matt
Dralle's work)
Best regards to all,
Steve E.
PS, For the record, I thought it was a witty quip.

Gene-- I agree (and that is why I practice) and do change the subject
line to match more of what I'm posting but many of us
don't do that which reduces the effectiveness of the list somewhat.
Some have encouraged us as a group to update or change the subject line
but lots of times it doesn't get done and you can drag
the same dead horse subject line along with some wonderful new bodies of
text with great info that isn't reflected in the subject line.
By the way, this list is quite friendly and enjoyable and the only other
list I am on is just the same but it is an all wood airplane group too.
I suspect (from those who are on those other lists telling me) that
there is a spoiled brat, prima donna attitude from some of the more
lofty and pricey homebuilt list$. I'd have a hard time fitting in
with people like that.

Well, "BikeMike", I propose that you add a fourth category... the "Type D"
person. I'm one of those.
Type D people take the work that a Type A, B, or C builder has done and then
go fly it! Call it "cutting in line", "taking a shortcut to success", or
"cheating" ;o)
I'll tell you what though- building these airplanes is what keeps my life
fun and interesting, and flying them is like actually going to heaven
instead of just dreaming about it. Very, very rewarding. I like to tweak
this and that, customize a few things, think about improvements and mods,
and that's part of the educational process of experimental aircraft. And
perhaps to put all of this aluminum wing and alternative engine stuff in
perspective (but not to throw me out of my comfortable Type D world of
building on someone else's success), I would remind folks that "a life lived
without risks is not worth living". That may end up being my epitaph, but
I'll have a smile on my face when I go down.
Low 'n' slow forever!

D type; that's me as well and I don't mind saying it at all. My only
regret is that the original builder will never see the Piet I have fly,
since he has gone from the planet. However the man I bought it from, the
second builder can still see it fly if he ever comes down to the field
when I go up. Those guys made a beautiful plane as far as I'm concerned
and it was a real pleasure to finish it and fly it although since I'm
not a builder, there were times when I was ready to kill something if it
came near. I did have help and those guys are master craftsmen as
well.Me,I'm just a kind of hack em slap em type of guy when it comes to
building anything. I do great in the woods with a chain saw if you catch
my drift. I'll cut you a road in no time but don't ask me to do the
finesse stuff. I loose patience very quickly. I fit the pattern of a
Geminii to a tea. Can pick up any project and loose interest just as
fast. I must admit though I have kept interest on the Piet and my wife
longer than most figured I would.

Subject: | How a Magneto works : e-gap |
Not sure if I can give a good tech explanation why but.........the mag
points really don't completely close, like old distributors on cars. Old
timer AP's used to use a piece of cigarette film, about 0.001", to set the
points where they are almost closed, and then set the open gap using a
normal point gapping set of blades. You can almost eyeball the "closed"
gap. If you allow the points to come all the way closed, the mag won't
have a chance to build enough spark. Experimental aircraft--- you gotta
love it as a learning experience.

Are you talking about a T-150 tool for checking the e-gap? I've been
looking to purchase one of them tools and was not able to find out who
sells them.
Checked with Aircraft Spruce and they wanted to sell me the electronic tool
for
setting the timing. Would appreciate if you have an address of the
supplier.
I don't think the e-gap setting is gonna imporve the static rpm. I have
one
mag that I broke the case on and had to replace it. So now I need to set
the
e-gap. What is happening to me is that the mag is not up to full change
when
it fires. On mag check the engine runs rough on that mag. Not knowing how
to
set it I just let the points open just as soon as they could which isn't
right.
Thanks Jim Sury
Jim,
Yes, the T-150 tool is the one I am talking about. My curiosity was
how
many other folks actually set the e-gap. I have a need for the tool,
because
after about 300 hrs of service, I removed the points in the Left mag, to
have
a close look at if there was any burning on the contacts...there was none.
Here's how a magneto works:
A strong magnet mounted on the shaft, spins within a two part coil,
that
has windings that are electrically connected on one leg of the circuit, via
the points. As the magnet swaps ends within the two part coil, a current
races
back and forth in a millisecond, between these two windings. The faster it
spins, the higher the current. The purpose of the points is to interrupt
this
current flow when it is at it's peak...which is called the 'e-gap'. The e
stands for 'energy'. You DO NOT adjust the points to a specific gap, you
DO
adjust the points to crack open at the very instant when this current is at
it's
peak. It is a very narrow margin, and if it is more than 5 off, it will
have a great impact on how much current and voltage goes to the plugs.
When the
points crack open, the current will flow to the path of least resistance,
which is through the distributor and wires, to the spark plugs. The
purpose of
the Impulse Coupling is two fold: 1) it catches on a cog, and collects
Spring
energy and when it releases it the timing is retarded for easier engine
start ;
2) it spins the magnet at a much higher rate. Once the engine is running,
centrifugal force acts upon two spring loaded weights, which does not allow
the
cogs to catch. When you shut down the engine, as it slows down to below
about
100 RPM (maybe 200 rpm) or so, you hear the cogs catching, and spinning the
magnet at the faster rate.
Now...All I need is a T-150 tool

Thanks for the explanation Chuck. I knew that but was not able to put it
into words that made any sense. Got that Mike Cuy. The T-118 pins are
used to lock the mag into position when you install the mag to the
engine. You are suppose to be able to put the crank at the 18 deg btdc
or where ever you want it to fire and just drop the mag in and it is
suppose to be in time. It gets it close but I still use the sinc. light.

This is one of the few places you can go to find out how the old engines
used to work. It is soon going to be a lost art. Cars now a days are so
complex, hardly anybody can work on them with out the right equipment. I
can see experimental aircraft going the same way because of the laws
they are bringing in for all that there green stuff they are after.

Subject: | Aluminum wing structure |
A thought occurred to me, which is unusual so I thought Id write about it to this
group. As some may know, Aerolab (in Italy) is going to produce what some
would call a version of the Pietenpol named the HiCamp along with what the Fly
Baby community thinks of as a two-seat Fly Baby called the LoCamp and a biplane
model called the BiCamp all utilizing the same fuselage.
When they brought the LoCamp to the US last year, one of the comments they received
was that people wanted an aluminum wing structure instead of the wooden one
they were offering so they went back and engineered one. Actually two thoughts
emerged (even more rare) one, is maybe their wing could be used for those
who wanted an aluminum structure for the Pietenpol (check weight) and two, their
HiCamp kit might be a good choice for those who want modern materials but
the old fashioned look.
I might be thought of as somewhat of a purist but let me explain; if someone builds
a metal Piet and calls it a metalized Pietenpol, thats fine with me. If
someone experiments by putting a turbine engine on a Pietenpol thats cool. A
Pietenpol with retractable gear? Call it a Pietenpol RG. But at some point,
if enough changes are made, the builder should stop referring to it as a Pietenpol
out of respect. For example, the Aerolab HiCamp is based on the Pietenpol
and the founders were building a Pietenpol when they realized the design would
make a terrific Light Sport Airplane, but they respectfully dont call it a
Pietenpol.
Im in total agreement with Micheal Cuy about this country and our freedom and those
who feel Bernard would still be experimenting, but I think even he would
call it something else as the Air Camper evolved with enough changes. Sorry for
taking up so much bandwidth, but I thought someone might be interested in the
aluminum wing idea.
Pietenpolingly,
Bill Sayre

Subject: | Piet List vs Other Lists |
Mike I can assure you that the higher dollar airplane lists are not as
friendly, on average, as this list. As many of you know, I'm building
an RV-10 and follow that list as well as staying on the Pietenpol list.
There are notable exceptions, but in general, I find the RV-10 list to
contain a lot of whiners, who are NOT interested in building a plane for
education, but are mostly interested in how many $$$'s worth of avionics
they can stuff in the panel. Many of them complain constantly about the
quality of the Van's kit. I can honestly say I am astonished by the
extremely high quality of the Van's kit, and really wonder what these
people are complaining about. I seriously doubt that most of them could
build a Pietenpol. Just a totally different mindset.
I stay on the Pietenpol list because I love the airplane, and like the
folks on this list. I learned an incredible amount as I built my
Pietenpol, and continue to learn things by reading this list. I find
the RV-10 list to be about 1/10th as useful as this list, due to the
fact that it's a kit and little thinking is required to build it, and
the kinds of discussions they have are things like which "glass panel"
to put in it, or which autopilot works better. There is little honest
open discussion of airplane design like we have (although lately there
have been some interesting discussions of flutter). Having sampled both
ends of the homebuilding spectrum I can honestly say that I hope the
RV-10 is the last kit plane I'll ever build, but not the last airplane.
I'd like to either design my own next, or rebuild an antique like a
Travellaire or a Waco.
Different strokes for different folks. I truly enjoyed building my
Pietenpol, with some of the most fun being trying to figure out how to
do things and how to make the parts. That type of fun is missing
entirely from the RV's. The most important decision I get to make in
the building process now is which bucking bar to use. I visited the
Van's factory last October and accused them of doing all the fun parts
of building an airplane and leaving all the drudgery to the homebuilder.
They agreed with me.
So for all you Pieters out there who are building your ships, enjoy the
process. You will end up with a very fine flying machine, and one that
will draw a crowd wherever you go. I flew mine this weekend into a busy
airport with jet traffic and as I landed and made the first turnoff
after a ground roll of maybe 200', a voice came on the radio saying "I
wish I could land my King Air like that!", to which I said "You could,
if it could fly at 40 mph".

This is a thought provoking statement. IF a builder so decided he wanted to
undertake such a project, to actually build one of the above, where would he
or she obtain plans, drawings, spec or whatever. I've often wondered how long
it would take to build the ribs for a Waco Taperwing. Mindbogling. It would
be a worthy retirement project, if one lived long enough

Subject: | Piet List vs Other Lists |
Corky,
I would like to do a project like Jimmy Dean, down in Sanford, NC is
doing. Jimmy (who owns a beautiful Ford Model A powered Pietenpol, that
sadly needs a new fabric job) is building an essentially new Waco Ten.
He bought a junk Waco and is using the old parts to make patterns for
all new components. He has finished the fuselage framework, all welded
up of brand new 4130 tubing, much better than the mild steel of the
original. He is using the original ribs to make a jig to build all new
ribs. By the time he is finished about the only original components
will be the centerline and the nameplate and serial number, but that is
enough in the FAA's eyes to make it a certificated airplane.
I'd like to do something similar, as my "retirement project". Then take
it and go barnstorming. You can't go barnstorming in a Pietenpol and
charge for rides, since it is Experimental.

Subject: | Re: You guys are good ! Changing subject lines |
While on the subject of good "understanding" group......I would like to come clean
on my pietenpol (actually, a true confession since the holy day of Easter
is upon us). Yes, I too was once a very large person with an anterior distal belly
bulge. After years of not seeing my entire foot, I still can't see my entire
foot. Therefore, my confession!.... I changed the plans of my Pietenpol making
it 29" overall width tapering from the front to rear for my large build!
However, I have kept most everything else the same height(with a few exceptions).
So there.....I ask for your forgiveness in my deviation from the original
plans. Does that make me a true pietenpol builder or am I reduced to a Change-n-Pieter
Airplane Cheater?!....

Subject: | Re: How a Magneto works : e-gap |
If I can just add to Chucks infro.
There's a thing called dwell. Us oldtimers know it from our cars of the
60's.
With a dwell meter it set the amount of time that the points were
closed, in degrees of the cam shaft. Cause this was the time that the
coil was charging. If the dwell wasn't right there wasn't enough power
in the coil and the spark weak.
The amount of time the points are closed is important
and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Then you have to time it so the points open at the correct time to fire.
When the points break,,,the large field in the coil collapses and you
get the spark to the plug.

Chuck
Are you talking about a T-150 tool for checking the e-gap? I've
been looking to purchase one of them tools and was not able to find out
who sells them. Checked with Aircraft Spruce and they wanted to sell me
the electronic tool for setting the timing. Would appreciate if you have
an address of the supplier. I don't think the e-gap setting is gonna
imporve the static rpm. I have one mag that I broke the case on and had
to replace it. So now I need to set the e-gap. What is happening to me
is that the mag is not up to full change when it fires. On mag check the
engine runs rough on that mag. Not knowing how to set it I just let the
points open just as soon as they could which isn't right. Thanks Jim
Sury
Jim,
Yes, the T-150 tool is the one I am talking about. My curiosity
was how many other folks actually set the e-gap. I have a need for the
tool, because after about 300 hrs of service, I removed the points in
the Left mag, to have a close look at if there was any burning on the
contacts...there was none.
Here's how a magneto works:
A strong magnet mounted on the shaft, spins within a two part
coil, that has windings that are electrically connected on one leg of
the circuit, via the points. As the magnet swaps ends within the two
part coil, a current races back and forth in a millisecond, between
these two windings. The faster it spins, the higher the current. The
purpose of the points is to interrupt this current flow when it is at
it's peak...which is called the 'e-gap'. The e stands for 'energy'.
You DO NOT adjust the points to a specific gap, you DO adjust the points
to crack open at the very instant when this current is at it's peak. It
is a very narrow margin, and if it is more than 5 =BA off, it will have
a great impact on how much current and voltage goes to the plugs. When
the points crack open, the current will flow to the path of least
resistance, which is through the distributor and wires, to the spark
plugs. The purpose of the Impulse Coupling is two fold: 1) it catches
on a cog, and collects Spring energy and when it releases it the timing
is retarded for easier engine start ; 2) it spins the magnet at a much
higher rate. Once the engine is running, centrifugal force acts upon
two spring loaded weights, which does not allow the cogs to catch. When
you shut down the engine, as it slows down to below about 100 RPM (maybe
200 rpm) or so, you hear the cogs catching, and spinning the magnet at
the faster rate.
Now...All I need is a T-150 tool

Subject: | Metal Gear and Wire Wheels For Sale |
I have a complete landing gear, with I think all the fittings to match up to
the fuselage, plus a set of motorcycle wire wheels with disk brakes that are
of no use to me. They have been sitting in my hangar for a long time now and
my airplane is up and flying. I built my Piet up with a Wooden Gear and Jenny
Wheels. These have been on a flying airplane, but the airplane went through a
flood. I would have no problem sandblasting them up and using them. The only
thing I would probably do is reengineer the brake calipers. Let me know if any
of you are interested in them. They are located in Sonoma, CA, I can get you
pictures in a couple of days. Make me an offer plus shipping or pick up. Email
me off the list at _wcbowe@aol.com_ (mailto:wcbowe@aol.com) to keep from
clogging up the list.
