Steve,
Was that your GN-1 at Thompson airport about 2 months ago? I'm not build
ing anything right now. I hope to one of there
days. Did you build your GN-1? As best I remember it was a nice looking
plane. I just sold
my Cessna 152 in October. I got a private license in it. I'm retired and
planeless. I'm a member
of chapters 98 and 1098 in Tuttle and Shawnee. Maybe I'll see you there
.

Mike,
Good idea, but if I go to a strange airport, they won't have a hole.
Thought more about getting these.
Not sure if I can modify them for a rudder bar, tho.
At a fly-in, guess I'd have to pack more comfortable shoes

I say dig a hole for your tailwheel to rest in while you start
the engine and then get inside. Your longerons will be that much
closer

Gene,
I checked out Ron W's website with the Fly Baby windshield info a while back. Not
sure if that was what you were referring to, as a search on "fly baby windshield"
doesn't return any hits and with no quotes, it returns about 30 thousand.
Anyway he suggest a faceted Lexan windshield. I have .040 aluminum, and Plexiglas
in large quantities.. thats pretty heavy to try to form into a frame by
bending, so I would be in to making inside/outside pieces, bonding/riveting..
etc, pretty complex compared to getting a single piece of Plexiglas cut and shaped
and mounting it with simple aluminum fittings.
The Pietenpol Aerial at the St. Louis air museum has exactly the type of faceted
windshield suggested, and my second choice way of doing the windshield would
be to go study it and get measurements/construction details and do it that way.
What I would love to do, but think is too complex/heavy/time consuming, would be
to make up a PT-26 style sliding canopy, then add cabin heat and gain a few
more months of flying time a year. Thought about it till I looked at where the
supports and cables for the center section of the wing run. It would be really
tricky to make slides and canopy sections that could work around all the stuff
in the way. So, I want to keep it simple.

I made my faceted windshields per the Fly Baby plans, using 1/8"
Plexiglas and .025" 3003 Aluminum. Fairly lightweight, but probably the
most difficult part of the whole project.

I would contribute to your issue. What's really interesting to me and others
maybe, is the radial Lambert engine I am assembbling for my Piet project. 90
HP , 5cyld antique. Have all parts plus spares. Expect to run this summer .
Just the engine variations alone should fill your issue. brent Scott in

I ran across a set of Corvair heads with the Air Camper logo when I did
my Technical Counselor thing and inspected a Zenith 601 project last
week. They are planning to use different heads on their Corvair and
just had these Air Camper heads sitting around. If anyone is

Subject: | Re: Forming Plexiglass and Lexan |
Jack,
I don't doubt it was hard. Took aircraft sheet metal classes 28 yrs ago and learned to rivet and work with aluminum.. but haven't' done it since, and don't want to make things harder. I feel like a simple couple of windshields will suffice. Even thought about buying speed boat ones and using them, but they looked to modern. (www.greatlakesskipper.com) has a bunch, mounting hardware too.
Have enough to do, need to learn how to do fabric work, then cover upper and lower
wings (biplane) and 4 ailerons. Need to get a 1950's Spanish engine running
(found a 130meg electronic copy of its manuals) of course they are in Spanish,
and I don't know it.
Have to figure out how to make a graceful hood bump to cover the magneto's poking
up through my cowling. Finish plumbing the engine, fabricate two more exhaust
stacks. Cut and reroute some 4130 tubing so my legs will fit more comfortably.
Make and install windshields. Assemble everything, figure out how to rig it
and if I have all the stuff. (No notes, just bucket full of fittings and cables..
)
Starting to understand that 90% done/90% to go thing.

Hi Dan,
The prop was made by TN propellers and is a 64-34 pitch.carb is a marvel
schebler ma3spa.static 2700 rpm,about the same on take off,2300 rpm cruise
shows close to 80 mph. I will have to check the air speed indicator by GPS to
see how
accurate this is ,but I think it is pretty close.

Subject: | chiselling floor brace |
Fellow Piet Builders and mentors
We are starting to glue in the braces between our fuselage sides and have
noticed, in many build photos, that other builders have chiselled away the
first front brace.
Both ends, where they meet the longeron. What is the purpose of doing this?

Congratulations, Randy, so this year maybe it will be a 3 wheeler instead of an
18 wheeler!

Jim,
That was me in the yellow GN-1 at Thompson. I didn't build my
GN-1...just bought it. I would love to build one eventually though.
We'll see you around.

Steve,
Was that your GN-1 at Thompson airport about 2 months ago? I'm not
building anything right now. I hope to one of there
days. Did you build your GN-1? As best I remember it was a nice
looking plane. I just sold
my Cessna 152 in October. I got a private license in it. I'm retired
and planeless. I'm a member
of chapters 98 and 1098 in Tuttle and Shawnee. Maybe I'll see you
there.

Welllll... it's nicer, perhaps, but still pretty much as it was a few years
ago when I bought my plans and manual from Pietenpol. Still shows "Buckey
e Pietenpol Association" links in the "What's New" page, Charlie Rubeck rib
s, things like that.
But still the ONLY place to get authentic Pietenpol family plans and manual

Fellow Piet Builders and mentorsMarc,
I know it's in the original plans. I'd have to go back and see exactly
why.
Think it's got something to do with the inside brackets lining up with
the landing gear brackets on the outside.
Where the ash beams go across, is where the landing gear loads are taken
in the side of the fuse.

Subject: | Re: chiselling floor brace |
Fellow Piet Builders and mentorsWell, seeing as that is my picture you
have attached I guess I should explain why I tapered the ends. Drawing
No 1 drawing entitled "Bottom Plan View of Fuselage", shows the two ash
cross braceses as 3/4-inch by 2-inch white ash. However, Drawing No 3
"Bottom of Fuselage" shows the front to be 2-inch by 1-inch white ash
inside cross strut taper to 2-inch by 3/4-inch at end. This is also
shown on the "Sectional View of Left Front Fitting"".
At first I installed the ash cross brace as a 1-inch thick piece and
later discovered it was supposed to taper on the ends. I had to do it
after I glued it in but it wasn't to hard. It helps to have the ends
taper so the inner fitting will line up with the outer gear fitting.
