My two favorite sources for quotes are Winston Churchill and Mark Twain.
I love Mark Twain's quote about smoking a pipe - "A pipe gives a wise
man time to think, and a fool something to stick in his mouth."

Already thinking about Brodhead - might have to fly the Piet up one more

Thanks, Gene. One of the real beauties of the Pietenpol design is the
fact that the design lends itself to so many variations, and no two
Pietenpols are just alike.
Are you going to fly yours to Brodhead this year? I don't know why, but
lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about Brodhead and am starting
to plan to fly mine up again. It's not too early to start planning - it
will take me at least six months to get my wife to agree to let me fly
it over the mountains again. Last time, I flew from North Carolina to
Cleveland, then flew formation with Mike Cuy to Brodhead. Slightly
uncomfortable flying across West Virginia, with 4400' ridges and 4600'
cloud decks. This year I might swing around the southern end of the
mountains in north Georgia and fly to west Tennessee to visit my mother
in Jackson, then fly due north to Brodhead. If so, maybe we could fly
formation together. Interested?

There is (or used to be) a radio made for sailplanes that fits in a 3
1/8" instrument panel hole. So maybe there's room at least for just one
more hole... I'm betting it uses a bit of amperage so would probably
require a good capacity battery but that would take care of the "for
easy use" and "difficult to change channels" issues...
I'm not sure how that would pass the WWBD (What Would Bernard Do?) rule,
but it's doable... :-)
JM
----- Pieters,
Those of you that use radios, what are you using and where do you
put it for easy use. I sometimes fly into airports that have a fair
amount of jet and other fast airplane traffic. The handheld radio I've
been using is fairly large and the only place I can find to put it is
along side the seat, making it difficult to change channels, adjust
volume, ect.. There really isn't any panel space left to mount a
radio. Any ideas?
Thanks

There are two radio choices that fit in a small instrument hole (2 3/8"?).
These are the Microaire, and the Becker. I have the Becker in my Aeronca and it
works well. It takes only 5 amps I believe.

I agree with Javier regarding Jim and as I've gotten further into the
Pietenpol movement I find myself attending Brodhead more to enjoy
visiting with
other Pietenpol friends than to see the airplanes. I had the pleasure
to meet up with Jim and his brother Joshua this past summer and give
them
rides in my Piet. As much as I hate to admit it, Jim flew perfectly
from the front seat with no instruments whatsoever. He held altitude
within 30 feet
and that is something I have trouble doing WITH instruments:)

The XCOM radio from Australia also fits a 2 1/4" hole and it is shorter than
the micoaire and the Becker. It's depth into the panel makes it perfect for

Yeah, I know.
However, in a Piet heavily loaded with camping gear and fuel, I found
myself facing a ridge that was 4400' high. I was at 4000' running at
full power at my best rate of climb and losing 500 fpm in a downdraft.
I never did make it over that ridge, but by looking at the sectional, I
saw where I could fly around it by going a few miles out of my way, so I
follwed the valley until it interesected with the valley on the other
side of the ridge and eventually got back on my course. GPS makes such
navigation so easy, compared to what it used to be.
Density altitude at that time was around 7,000' Are you flying a
Pietenpol at higher density altitude than that? If so, what does it
weigh and what kind of power do you have? Mine is admittedly heavy (745
lbs empty). On a hot day last summer I took up a 205 lb passenger (I
weigh 200) with full fuel (90lbs). We got a good solid 100 fpm climb.
OAT was 93 F and the field elevation was about 400'.

I haven't forgotten the pain of flying home in that wretchedly wicked
turbulence but....we had such a good time flying in loose formation from
Cleveland to Brodhead I might just consider doing it again. Hard to say
though as I'm really getting spoiled going up there with all my camping
gear in the comfort of an air conditioned car.

The GPS found a good location, but it makes it a little harder to get in &
out.
The throttle is there on the left, with my favorite little red button on
it...Smoke 'em if ya got 'em !!
There is also a roll of T. P. there on the right side of the seat, because ya

So does that mean youve forgotten the pain and are willing to fly there
again in 2008?

Like mothers soon forget the pains of childbirth, Pietenpol pilots tend to fly
back to Brodhead every couple of
years since by then you forget some of the pains involved in doing so.

I am building a Corvair engine for my Piet now and am hoping 90 - 100 HP is
enough. William Wynne has experimented with turbocharging the Corvair with
some success which I may pursue that if I can't get off the runway on hot
days.

Don't worry Mike, we can use my air conditioned car to go get all the cold
beer (or whatever else) you need.

Subject: | Re: final rigging |
Hi Robert
I just did that in August. First it is most important to make sure that
the wings are even, measured to the tail. I used the trailing edge at
the point that the ailereons start and measured to the base of the vert
stab. Make sure that your cabane cross wires are good and tight.
I bought a digital level that measures down to the tenth of a degree. I
leveled up the fuse and adjusted the struts so the wing tips are 1/2
degree higher than inboard measurement..
good luck
Dick N.

Hello group,
I am going to put the wings on and do the final rigging this
weekend. Any of you have any tips or suggestions on getting it all set
up right?
Thanks,
Robert Bush

Ok you guys....enough already! :-)
All very kind words and much appreciated.
I've said it before and I mean it...one of the greatest joys of this
project has been the crowd I get to hang out with...
Speaking of my project...today I did the remaining sandblasting to
prepare for powder coating the last parts of my tailwheel...that has
been an almost 1 year project. That was fun. And I got started on the
upper strut fittings which I originally made out of 4130 but have
switched to solid 3/4" X 1" pieces of 2024 Aluminum. It's really nice
to see those struts holding the wings up all by themselves.
Sure is nice to be back pushing puddles and mixing T88!

I agree with Javier regarding Jim and as I've gotten further into the
Pietenpol movement I find myself attending Brodhead more to enjoy
visiting with
other Pietenpol friends than to see the airplanes. I had the
pleasure to meet up with Jim and his brother Joshua this past summer and
give them
rides in my Piet. As much as I hate to admit it, Jim flew perfectly
from the front seat with no instruments whatsoever. He held altitude
within 30 feet
and that is something I have trouble doing WITH instruments:)

I acquired my Delcom 960 with end mounted controls
off ebay for $200 three years ago. Here's a pic of it
mounted and one of my antenna arrangement.
They had a panel mount bracket. Dean Sevold's Piet
in Naniamo has one. Unfortunately, with the battery
pack it's too long to go in the panel. Unless the front
passenger doesn't mind two inches of radio poking
his ( or her ) back. :-)

Here's one of my favorite quotes, from Albert Einstein:
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
Wonder if Albert was building a Pietenpol?
