Gentlemen,
Thanks for the response. New to the board so please forgive any
'miss-steps'. I guess I didn't do a very good job in framing my
question. I was told that full throttle on the start of the take
roll would impart to much torque on the plane and probably cause
control problems. From what I've read so far full throttle right
from the start is the way to go. Thanks again for the advise, it's
always welcome. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of other questions.

Cliff,
I=92m not sure where you are going with this argument. AC43.13
specifically
states that =93=85solid spars may be replaced with laminated ones or
vice
versa=85=94
There is no mention of switching grain direction when doing laminations;
so
if one prefers to switch direction ' it=92s OK; if one prefers not to
switch
direction, it=92s OK, too.
There may be some validity to your argument, I don=92t know, but
apparently
the FAA isn=92t concerned, which should be good enough for any of us.

Having the grain varied will help with warping but you're still
dealing with tension at one cap and compression at the other.
In wood compression strength is less than tensile so there
will be failure in compression first. This means that the
compressive strength of the wood is the deciding factor.
You can't make that stronger by laying plies in any direction.
In fact, if you make it like plywood, with the layers at 90=B0 or
even 45=B0, it WILL be weaker in the lengthwise direction.
And that is the primary direction the stresses line up with.

Instead of having a one ply grain with only one orientation of the
grain,
stacking plys with grain running in different directions would add
strength
and limit the possibility of warping.. Same principal as plywood vs
regular
board.

What would make it stronger?

Bill
I may be wrong about this, but I would disagree on that point as stated.
If
a spar is built up of 3/4x3/34 laminations to a height of 4 1/4" with
staggered joints and grain which is alternated, the total beam will be
much
stronger than the wood it is made of.

Tim,
Now that you've rephrased your question it makes more sense. The
throttle should be eased in slowly as you accelerate down the runway,
but at full throttle as you lift off, or before. I'm using a Stromberg
on my A-75 in the Baby Ace, and if you jam the throttle open rapidly the
engine stumbles a little before going to full RPM. Do you have any
tailwheel time? If not it would be a good idea to find someone to give
some dual instruction before your first flight.
Good luck!

As you confess in your third sentence, you "don't know." To repair that
flaw, please find a copy of Bruce Hoadley's classic "Understanding
Wood." If you prefer not to pay for some cheap insurance, it should be
available in any good library.
Actually, it turns out that you don't even need to look at Hoadley. A
quick Google search turned up
http://www.auf.asn.au/scratchbuilder/timber.html. It has a very decent
discussion of how to use wood in an airplane spar.
That page is part of a broader discussion of aircraft materials and
practices at http://www.auf.asn.au/scratchbuilder/contents.html. It's
well worth a look, even for the experienced builders.
Use your wood in whatever grain orientation appeals to you. But put some
effort into understanding the issues involved in making that choice.
Sigh. I hate falling for this sort of thing, but there is always a
chance that it's not just a troll. The writer could be serious.

I used the wooded disc on the nosebowl of my A65 to center the prop

If this is not the case for the Model A, I take it back. But can't
imagine you'd be flying with a piece of wood in the fwd cowling.
Anyone know?

The more interesting alternative to dinner by ones self and an evening of

As a rule, isn't the cowl supposed to be independent of the engine? This is because
the engine typically is subject to large vibrations - mostly at start-up.
I would not fasten the cowl to the engine. Just use the wooden disc to position
and build the cowl, then remove it when the cowling is done.

I'm all for that. It could be easily be added to the builder's directory on

weekend. Should I do it? All I have to do is add a check box (contact for
visits). I almost met Jim Markle when he was in Boston once. The
scheduling didn't work out but would have been fun.
I know what you mean by traveling, eating alone, working in the hotel, etc.
Good to break that chain with a Pietenpol meetup. ...which is likely the

Smashing idea!
There are a handful of Piet owners in our neck of the woods, which is in the general
vicinity of Toronto, Ontario. While I and my Piet partner have yet to have
ours in our back yard (p/u in April) we do spend our spare time tinkering with
airplanes in a small museum of which we are working members:
www.classicaircraft.ca
If the weather's decent, you never know what could happen.
And there are other things to see and do aviation related oot and aboot this general
area. We'd be delighted to hang out with any Piet or non-Piet travellers
from this list!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: food for thought
As many of you know from reading the posts of myself and our
Ambassador Jim Markel, many of us have to travel for the unenviable goal
of earning a living. For anyone engaged in such activities it is a known
fact that there is no glamour, excitement or intense desire to live in a
hotel room rather than work on our own builds.
The more interesting alternative to dinner by ones self and an evening
of work is to visit another builder chat and consume some type of
appropriate beverage adult or not over a smack or even pitchers and
pizza, as I have heard has been done on an occasion or 2.
Thus I am proposing that those interested in opening up their hangars,
garages, basements, shops or home for a Pietenpol visitor
Place their name and contact information on a list as to allow an
inbound visitor to make contact to discuss projects , methods and to
share a few hours with a brother builder. Obviously the list is
voluntary so anyone not interested need not participate anyone is
welcome to participate in the sharing without obligation I or we just
thought it would be good to have such a list the a weary traveler may
use to make contact while in the area.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and suggestions on how
to accomplish that task.

Hello Piet'ers
I am inviting one and all to come visit me at Chapman Memorial Airport. We can
go get breakfast, lunch or dinner, or stay a while and drink a cold beer or
two, or three, or four. My hanger/ shop is open to all who are interested in
homebuilts, airplanes ( with free camping), piets airplanes of all types. I
have been here for 2 years and have yet to have a visitor at the home strip, (Skipp
tried but weather was bad!) I look forward to meeting all the homebuilders,
pilots no matter what type of aircraft they fly. So if any of you would
like to stop by when spring gets here don't hesitate to drop in. I am in the
process of building a Jungster 1 all wood biplane and can use all the critisisim
I can get. I have looked forward to having an airport at my house my whole
life, and at age 29 (almost 30) I feel as I have cheated somewhere to have this
at the early years in life. I want to enjoy it while it lasts, before rich
a## hol@! complain about noise, and there golf
game. To Don Emch, Mike Cuy and all the other Ohio area piets, LETS GET TOGEATHER
THIS YEAR AND FLY TOGEATHER! I will fly up there or where ever to have some
fun in the sun. Mike; I can fly up there and meet you at Columbia and we'll
go straffe Don up near Youngstown, It is so much fun to fly in numbers, especially
in a 1929 Pietinpol Aircamper. So if any of you Ohio Pieter's want to
do some fly'in let me know, I am itchin to go, and ready for some formation
fly'in just like the RV guys (although not as fast or as arogent).
Anxiously awaiting spring,
Shad

Since I am an ideas man and you have a site I welcome your offer to link and host
our flegling band of itenerate builders. We have to keep in mind that all builders
are not interested in being visited so the list you put on the site may
include all Piet builders, owners etc but the ones that are interested in the
visiting aspect our Amdassadors must be identified.
I would really not want to contact an un willing or disinterested builder.
I find willing people are the most enjoyable to be around. Some folks are just
not interesred in sharing and hanging out with others and we need to respect that
choice.
For me sign me up I love it

I'm all for that. It could be easily be added to the builder's directory on my
sitewhich I am going to fix once and for all tonight or sometime this weekend.
Should I do it? All I have to do is add a check box (contact for visits). I almost
met Jim Markle when he was in Boston once. The scheduling didn't work out
but would have been fun.
I know what you mean by traveling, eating alone, working in the hotel, etc. Good
to break that chain with a Pietenpol meetup. ...which is likely the way we're
scattered pretty randomly.
