Got the latest Sport Aviation magazine yesterday -- says that Kermit Pietenpol
has passed away. I never met him or talked to him, but we should all acknowledge
his passing.

| Subject: | Horn angles (rudder & elevators) |
Morning from chilly Des Moines,
I saw plenty of discussion of whether or not to angle the horns or leave
them straight in the archives, but no mention of the amount. I plan on
angling the elevator horns in 12 degrees and the rudder horn down 13
degrees. Does this seem appropriate?
Thanks,

Jack,
I waited to mount those horns until I could clamp all the surfaces in place
so I could just pull a string and see what those angles were.

Agreed, I did what Dan did. Just have to wait till your fuselage (and rear
controls) are mostly done before drilling the holes. Then you can get the
angle exact.

Ken and Dick,
I just looked at the Fisher site. Today they offer PLANS ONLY for all models,
and moreover, they have pricing for only a few models that they show, as well.
That 7/8 scale wooden Tiger Moth is available in plans, though, and looks
really cool. There's not a "Piet builders board" equivalent for it, though,
I'll bet-- a major asset for us Pieters.
It looks like they are tyring to return to strong builder roots, and I for
one hope Fisher completes its plans to make both plans and kits available. My
local (Austin) EAA chapter has one bloke building a Skybolt, another a Cozy on
a very long-term build, and my halting Piet efforts. ALL the others are RVs--
14,400 rivets. What's the fun in that?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Props for sale
From: "Don Emch"
Hi Guys,
I've always wanted a Falcon prop for my Piet. I finally found one that I like.
It sounds kind of stupid but I'm putting it on the plane for sentimental/nostalgic
reasons. Anyway I have to clear out the props that I have. They are both
for an A-65 Continental. One is a Hegy 72 x 44. It has about 140 hours on
it and is in nice shape. It performed really well on my plane. The other is
a Sterba 76 x 38. This size was decided on after talking with several prop
carvers. I really like it's performance. It is about 6 months old. It has about
45 hours on it. I've really enjoyed trying different props on my plane,
but I want to put the Falcon on for those strange sentimental/nostalgic reasons.
Anyway I'd like to get $325 out of the Hegy and $500 out of the Sterba. I'm
going to put them on ebay but I thought it would be cool if they went on a
Piet. If anyone is interested they can email me at
EmchAir@aol.com
or call me at (330) 429-5265
If you hurry and you're close by you can go for a ride behind the Sterba because
it's still on the plane!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Leading edge sheet issue, and getting ready to solo!
Per the plans it can be 1/16 ply or cardboard, I read about oatmeal cans
being used, so clearly it isn't structural. I bought 45degree ply on the
advice of an EAA senior member. Trying to use it seems impossible. It
just won't conform and wants to warp and roll every way and doesn't
remotely look like the shape of the ribs when tacked down in place. I am
thinking I should have gone with 1/16 90 degree with the grain running
parallel with the wing. I have a few feet of that laying around and it
seems to conform and shape nicely. Another senior member and technical
advisor recomended using 1/32 for a number of reasons. I have some of
that as well from models and it conforms like a champ, but of course is
thinner, and I don't know how it would hold it's shape against fabric.
Other than that, my wings are ready to cover, and if the fuse can get
covered and the control system done over the winter then I am looking
good for a Piet summer.
Also, I am about a week out from doing my first solo as it looks. Man I
can't wait.

From: "Don Emch"
1/16" 90 degree plywood with the grain running parallel to the wing is pretty much
the norm. It conforms fairly well to the airfoil. When glued down to the
ribs it does tend to bow up between the ribs. However once the wings are covered,
the fabric pulls that same bowed up plywood down slightly between the ribs
and gives the wing a nice smooth shape.

I just welded one of those into a tank for my Piet also. It is an aluminum
flange that you weld to the tank and a steel filler neck that screws into
the flange.

When in doubt, go to the automotive guys. Check out Summit Racing or
Jeg's... they both carry parts and pieces for fabricating tanks and
radiators that use filler necks with and without overflow. "Moroso" is one

41CC has the good old float rod system and it works great. I sometimes
wonder what kind of moonshine jugs Corky got the two big corks off of that
he made the float out of, but they seem to float fine. Corky also used
brass rod for the float rod and filed small notches in the rod to mark off
each gallon. You can't see the notches from the cockpit (or at least my old
eyes can't), but there really isn't much need to know exact quantity anyway.
She's either got fuel or she ain't, and if you have to count notches you
probably should have been looking for a landing spot a while ago anyway ;o)

Oscar-- I sent all my Continental parts here and when some didn't meet
spec the guys there fixed me up with either
serviceable used/reconditioned for a good price or new at a decent
price. I don't know what kind of operation they run
these days but in the mid 90's they were fantastic to work with. They
knew small engine Continentals very well.

| Subject: | Sky Scout for sale |
I have a divorce coming up and I need to lighten my load a little. I have a
very nice Sky Scout for sale. The fusalage and engine are from a previously
flying plane and are complete and ready to go. The wings and tail were
taken for another Piet project. I do have a complete new tail ready to
cover though. I also have a complete set of GN-1 ribs already completed. I
have the center section spars done and the spruce for the outboard wing
spars. I just welded up a very nice aluminum center section wing tank. All
metal fittings are completed. I have the drag wires, pulleys, etc. All you
will need to buy to finish this project is the spruce leading edge for the
wing, plywood or sheet metal to cover the leading edge, material for the
struts, aileron cables, and covering supplies. Should be well under $500
for everything to complete and can be done in probably a few months time. I
do also have the covering materials and would sell them with the project,
but I have another plane I can use them on also.
The engine is a Chrysler 2.2 and it has electric start. It has a very nice
wood prop, starter, and alternator.
First $6,500 takes it all. I am still working on the plane a few times a
week and price will go up as it gets nearer to completion. This is really a
steal. Craftsmanship on the plane is very good. The work was done by a guy
that built several other Piets.
My number is 904-536-1780. The Plane is in Jacksonville, FL.

Tahoma } I have a divorce coming up and I need to lighten my load
a little. I have a very nice Sky Scout for sale. The fusalage and engine
are from a previously flying plane and are complete and ready to go. The wings
and tail were taken for another Piet project. I do have a complete new tail
ready to cover though. I also have a complete set of GN-1 ribs already completed.
I have the center section spars done and the spruce for the outboard wing
spars. I just welded up a very nice aluminum center section wing tank. All
metal fittings are completed. I have the drag wires, pulleys, etc. All you
will need to buy to finish this project is the spruce leading edge for the wing,
plywood or sheet metal to cover the leading edge, material for the struts,
aileron cables, and covering supplies. Should be
well under $500 for everything to complete and can be done in probably a few months
time. I do also have the covering materials and would sell them with the
project, but I have another plane I can use them on also.
The engine is a Chrysler 2.2 and it has electric start. It has a very nice wood
prop, starter, and alternator.
First $6,500 takes it all. I am still working on the plane a few times a week
and price will go up as it gets nearer to completion. This is really a steal.
Craftsmanship on the plane is very good. The work was done by a guy that
built several other Piets.
My number is 904-536-1780. The Plane is in Jacksonville, FL.

The angled rudder horn might cause some trim issues. Twist the ends of
the horn down to meet the rudder cable angle. You will also discover
just how strong the plans built control horns are when you try to twist
them.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Horn angles (rudder & elevators)
Morning from chilly Des Moines,
I saw plenty of discussion of whether or not to angle the horns or
leave them straight in the archives, but no mention of the amount. I
plan on angling the elevator horns in 12 degrees and the rudder horn
down 13 degrees. Does this seem appropriate?
Thanks,

Some of the best prices I found when I rebuilt my A65 was with Woody
Herman at 1800-279-3168.

Looking for some cam followers for Cont. A65/75. Several of the ones
on the 75 core that I bought are pitted and rather than try to
grind/polish them out, my mechanic thinks we should try to find some.
P/N 21608. Thanks!
