I know Dan the Fireman from MPLS has used many parts also. I believe he is using a deep oil pan from Clarks and many other stock items as well. Maybe he can post some of his parts he found and his source/item numbers.

I am jumping in anew into the airfoil thread out of great interest, and it is likely that I have missed some of the historical discussion leading up to this post. So I am asking for "one free dumb question" here to save me a lot of searching that I am admittedly poor at. Having just bought a Piet project and staring lovingly at the relationships in a completely subjective vs. objective manner, it seems to me that it is bordering on minimal tail volume with the short tail moment and what is a lot of wing area for an aircraft this size (I haven't figured out yet if the word "petite" suits here). I think I'll run the numbers on it (like I am sure many of you have before!) for fun and convince myself one way or the other. But my possibly dumb question is this - is the low tail volume of the Piet planform, and the pitching moment coefficients of most alternate airfoils compared to the original, an issue that limits freedom with airfoil selection for the Piet? The stock Piet airfoil "looks" like it may have a low pitching moment with it's crude similarity to some flying wing airfoils. I thought I read somewhere that this was a point of concern. Mind you the Baby Ace at our hangar looks like it had it's tail cropped too. Within limits the lower the tail volume, the narrower the CG margin until you leave the "green zone" and hit the neutral stability regime or worse, and I realize these aircraft fly stably as they are. But it is on my mind.

I can't wait to go. Not sure how I'm gonn a get there but I'll just have to find a way. I was there for a short trip in '03 and have wanted to get back ever since. > Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 13:03:07 -0400> From: billmz@cox.net> To: pietenpol -list@matronics.com> Subject: Pietenpol-List: EAA video clip> > --> Pietenp ol-List message posted by: > > > Not sure if any of you hav e seen this, but it was sent to me by a pilot friend of mine. It's a video clip about the EAA, narrated by Harrison Ford. It's about 17 minutes long, but worth watching. There's even a brief appearance of Dick Navratil's Rote c-powered Piet.

I think this will be the last time I will be able to make both for many years (planning to start having kids soon, very soon!). We have the Piet almost ready for the year. We added a steerable tailwheel, bungee covers, and messing with the cowling design for cooling air. I have been looking at the front "pit" and sizing it up for tent, sleeping bag and cooler if I go to OSH this year. The good thing is Dad will go to Brodhead for sure, so I don't have to haul too much junk for the whole trip from central Ohio to Brodhead, OSH and back. I would leave Brodhead sunday AM and leave OSH Tue AM and head for home. Shad Bell NX92GB --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
