*2 years ago I called Larry he is quite a good fellow to speak with.
Unfortunately the net is foreign to him. He actually built the Scout with
Aircamper wings because he was planning ahead. I think he has built 3-4
Pietenpol type of aircraft in all and I count him as one of my heroes.*

Don't know if anyone else noticed this or not, but Brian's Sky Scout
fuselage and motor was originally built by Larry Harrison (the builder
of the Poplar Piet that Leon referred to). I recognized the nice
looking
fuselage from a couple of pictures that were published in the Brodhead
Pietenpol Association newsletter about a year ago. If you're good at
reading slightly blurry photos you can see Larry's name right below
the
cockpit. According to the newsletter, it was Larry himself that
removed
the wings and tail - to mount on a new Air Camper fuselage he built -
turning his Sky Scout from a one-seater into a two-seater.
Sky Scout wings and tail on an Air Camper fuselage - would that make a
Sky Camper or an Air Scout?

And does your name have to be Bernie too..? This purist thing is sometimes a bit
much. You can bet your whatevers that if a decent quality epoxy system was off
the shelf when BHP was building he might have taken a hard look at more modern
alternatives. After all, he seemed to have developed an interest in Corvair
engines in the '60's. To me, a Pietenpol is a personal thing - IMHO if you want
to do this and that to make it your own, then that is bang on in the spirit
of the aircraft. Vive le difference!

Just got mine last night also Dick, a real beauty! How do you like
routing the cables outside of your fuselage?

I waited to respond till my issue came today and I got a chance to see
the article.
Thanks Mike, I grabbed an extra copy of the 1999 Sport Aviation that
featured your plane and your pics have been on the board in my hangar
ever since. I still watch your video occasionally on winter nights.
Skip Gadd had a huge role in this building projects, keeping me from
making some big mistakes.
P.F Beck was also a big help with the volunteers and building at SNF.
I took the idea for the center section radio cut out from Jack Phillips.
Greg Cardinal and Dale Johnson built a great elevator linkage system and
provided me with the help to copy. Greg also helped with the fuel
tanks.
There are too many people on and off of this list to recall right now,
but thanks to all.

What a great shot in the arm for the Pietenpol world and
potential builders out there reading the latest issue of Sport Aviation,
Dick.
That was a fine article with excellent photos of you flying your
radial powered Pietenpol over some gorgeous fall colors up north.
You've done us all very proud !

PS-- you even shaved for that photo !

Those are heim joints, no castle nut is needed. The center of the joint
is
not supposed to pivot.

Those pics were taken in the construction process. Although not really
required as pointed out in another response, before flying, they were
changed to castle nuts with cotter pins. Also a proper fitting clevis
pin was installed, it was just easier to have a longer pin in hand while
installing and adjusting.

What I was thinking of was a stock piet system right up to the tube
behind the pilots seat. At that point the tube could extend beyond the
fabric and have external horns like Dick's. Only thing that would really
have to be figured out is the size of the horns for the right
throws/rates. Dick, any pics of those external horns you can bless us
with, and your reasoning behind going pushrod rather than cable up to
the tube? Absolutly wonderful work!
