You need two, one for each wheel.
My center section is temporarily fitted. After having

Greg,
When I first read your post, I somehow didn't see the last letter of the
last word, which resulted in your status being raised to "Coolest Dad on the
Plane", which isn't really THAT special when you're flying with a daughter
(of any age) in a Pietenpol. Congratulations on your new status.

Clif,
As with all of the other photos of your construction, your work looks top
rate.
I really like your wooden cabanes - nice shape.
And, from the shape of the cardboard on top, it looks as though you're
thinking about a "Moth style" fuel tank. I've been thinking the same thing,
but you're way ahead of me.
Very Nice.

Subject: | Homemade Turnbuckles |
A few days ago Santiago posted a couple of links to the Flitzer website.
There are a lot of good construction ideas there. I've been looking
through different builder's sites, and noticed that the Flitzer
incorporates homemade turnbuckles for the drag and anti-drag wires. At
first I thought "that's simple - what a great idea". But after looking
at the (very low resolution) photos, I'm having a hard time to figure
out how they would work. Specifically, how would you adjust the tension
when the turnbuckle is installed? They appear to have a short section of
threaded rod joining the two halves, but to lengthen or shorten the
overall length, one would need to disconnect the turnbuckle from one
end, and rotate one end of the assembly. Unless that isn't a threaded
rod, but rather, a machine screw, but then - how do you get a tool in
there to turn the screw? I think that this is likely the case, and
perhaps there is enough room to get a small allen key in there. I don't
see any safety wires in the photos
Anyone out there know any more about these fittings?
Bill C.

You can make engine noises anytime you want provided your engine is
mounted safely on a structure,motor mount on plane or motor mount not on
the plane.Best time is 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning; that way you get the
maximum feel for what engine noise can do.

Thanks, Greg! As usual on here, I got two real answers to my question
and thirty knuckleheads commenting on every other thing in the world
(including your daughters!) and, of course, wanting to know if there is
a cheaper way to do it!! LOL
It looks like you have a washer between the shock cords and the wheel
retainer. Did you find that this was necessary to keep the cords off of
the wheel? I would think that they would not want to spread that way,
it does not look like the inner wraps of cord are migrating the other
way?
Thanks for responding, I will probably stop at two inches (6 looks like
wayyy too much, of course, I don't have brakes though)

OK, you guys with spreader bar gear . . . how much space did you

I have the gear finished and bolted on, and I am ready to cut my

Congratulations! But can you tell us about your spars? Alternatives to
the flat plank were a topic of some interest here not long ago, as you

Hi Gene,
The washer is in place to protect the cord from chafing on the wheel retaining
collar bolts. We also added leather cuffs around the ash blocks to prevent the
cords from chafing on the numerous nuts, cotter pins and bolt heads in that area.
This was done after going through 3 sets of shock cords in two years.

Subject: | solid wire vs cables |
Corky asked-
> It was stated that the wing drag and antis were double piano wire. No gauge
> was given. Do you have any info on that?
I looked at the 1932 Flying & Glider Manual plans as well as my set of the "Improved"
plans and the drag/anti-drag wire braces in the wings are called out as
different things there. The F&GM has them as 3/32" stranded cables (0.094")
while the Improved drawings call out 13 ga. hard wire.
No idea which wire gauge was used for the hard wire callouts; you can search the
archives to see that there have been various different ones theorized but the
most likely are the AWG (Brown & Sharpe) or the Washburn steel wire gauges.
#13 in AWG is .0720" and in Washburn it's .0915" so they are both close to the
3/32" cable diameter but no telling what the strength difference might be.
I find no reference anywhere to double piano wire and there are many different
music wire gauges... check here:
http://www.sizes.com/materls/wire_music.htm
Curiously, the callout for the tail brace wires is also different between the F&GM
and the Improved plans. The F&GM (older) calls for #12 hard wire bracing
and the Improved (newer) calls for 14 ga. hard wire. So depending on which wire
gauge was used, that's a variation of from .0641" (#14 AWG) to .1055" (#12
Washburn wire gauge). Probably due to the availability of wire at the time, as
well as Mr. Pietenpol's experimentation with different materials as he refined
the "kits" and the design, as well as the plans. As with many things on this
airplane, the only thing that is standard is that it's non-standard ;o)

Graham,
My leading edge is drilled, bolted and fitted. This weekend I plan on
gluing with T-88 and utilizing 8-32 bolts. I feel the glue is very
important and the bolts are there to help line up and pull it tight
while gluing. Taking the 172 out this afternoon.

That brings up an interesting question. I haven't noticed that anyone
else uses bolts on their leading edge. (I wish I could find my Flying
and Glider Manuals!) No one seems to have problems with alignment, and
big rubber bands will do for clamping, especially now that we have epoxy
glues. So why did Mr. Pietenpol use bolts? None of the possible
explanations I come up with are very satisfying. Does anyone have other
thoughts?

I used bolts and locknuts on my leading edges, then filled the
counterbores where the bolt heads are in the leading edge with Superfil.

Well, I finally took the plunge and reserved an N number for my Piet.
It took me a long time to decide what number would be appropriate but I
think my final choice seems obvious now. As you may recall,
SpaceShipOne carries the number N328KF which stands for 328,000 feet,
the target altitude for the X-Prize flights. Therefore, my Piet will be
numbered N328X and will probably be named SpaceShip 0.1. Unfortunately
the FAA doesn't allow you to start your N number with a zero or it would
have been N005KF. Spoil Sports.

Subject: | Acceptable Engine Confusion |
I've received my Piet plans and manual and have read through them. It seems that
the Corvair is an acceptable alternative.
The GN-1 plans however say that a Corvair engine doesn't have enough thrust.
I know that the Corvair was an alternative to the Ford Model A and others but does
it develop enough thrust? Do the Continentals and Lyco's develop more thrust?
I'm on the heavy side and will be flying out of airports that are high altitude
6,500 ft and up.
What's the 'collective' wisdom?
