Thanks for that Rick
But I am still having some trouble with the diameter the catalog doesn't seem to
give it,the holes in the hinge measure 5/32,I think I have worked out the nut
size by matching up the thread size but the diameter has got me buggered.
Thanks
Carson

Found an instructor by word of mouth (with a plane) finally. Has a Texas tail dragger,
a modified C-150, called at C-150-T.
This month the new Sport Aviation came out, with a good relevant article on biplane
design advice, with drag equations and useful info. Also had an article on
transitioning to taildraggers. And links to CFI lists that include taildragger
CFIs.
My technical counselor finally scheduled a meeting to look at my plane, found he
had been very busy with doing work on chapter members planes for inspections
and annuals (he is an A&P).
The community of builders (both online and EAA) is what makes working on homebuilts
feasible. Can't imagine what a farmer with a barn and a field (BHP) ...
without the internet, or other builders close bye must have faced in getting the
first Air Camper going.

Very nice photos and congratulations on putting your one-piece wing on
your project Dan ! I have a feeling that this is going to be one of
those
Air Campers that everyone will delight in seeing on the grass at
Brodhead in the next year or two. Fantastic to see more new Piets
coming off
the assembly line. (er.....workshops)

I sent a message to the group with a website link that shows all of the CFIs
state by state, but it never made it on the list, if anyone wants it send
me a message.

[quote="kmheidecpo(at)yahoo.com"]Members,
In barnstromers under the search engine you can find in the project page a nice
Pietenpol for sale at a very goods price.....if interested.
Food for thought on this wintery blizzardy day!

If it's the blue and white one that needs the wings finished, it's sold already.

| Subject: | Re: prop for A-75 |
Sensenich recently recommended to me to use a 70-42 for an A-75 on a Pietenpol,
as opposed to the 72-42 (standard), 72-40 (climb) and 72-44 (cruise) recommended
for 65's. In any case, you need to unload the 75 a bit relative to the 65
to allow it to climb higher in the rpm band. Otherwise as you suggest in your
post, you end up with the performance of a 65.

| Subject: | starting the warm A65 |
Thanks to Ben, Walt, and others who provided the excellent suggestions on starting
my A65 when after it's been running a while. Worked like a charm. I took
the airplane up and flew for a few tenths, landed, shut it down according to
the suggestion of opening the throttle just after killing the mags (sort of simultaneously,
actually, to keep the engine from drawing fuel through the idle
circuit of the Stromberg as it spins down), parked at the hangar and piddled around
with some projects for 20-25 minutes then tried starting it. Fired on the
second pull.
Note to Corky: I performed surgery on the lower edge of the front cockpit instrument
panel to improve the knee clearance and make it easier for passengers to
get in and out (and fit once they get in). It really helps a lot. There was
already a stiffener glued in behind the panel about 1-1/4" up from the bottom
edge, so I cut off the part below that and it's much better now. I'll take a
picture next time I'm out at the hangar and I recommend this modification to
those who are building and can build this slight change right in.
Also put the range markings on the airspeed indicator, oil temp, and tach (redline).
I've seen various values for Vne for the Air Camper but some seemed too
high and others too low (based on Pietenpol's published values). I forget what
I redlined 41CC at but I'll check when I'm back at the hangar. While I was
up flying, I did stalls both power on and power off as well as put the airplane
in a controlled dive to Vne. No flutter, but the airplane sure howls at that
speed and wants to go back to 70-75.

Think of all our garages and everywhere else we are building Piets as one
big "Virtual" Pietenpol assembly line (as us computer geeks would call it).

Group,
Thanks to all who responded to my notice of progress. I really appreciate
it, as it really means a lot to me. At this point I have a whole host of
avenues to work on, not knowing which to take. There have been so many things
that
have hinged on this event. More FUN!!!

That's the attitude Dan, not more work, just more fun. That's the way I
think of it, flying is just something that you are obligated to do after the
buildings done. (Just kidding, flying will be fun too, just very high
adrenaline fun) ;)
