Dick,
I have my max weight placarded at 1200lbs. I had my first two up flight (at
Max Wt) a couple of weeks ago with full fuel and the Corvair hardly noticed.
Another 110lbs and it could have been very different!
Cheers
Peter

Subject: Pietenpol-List: gross wt
I did a test today with full fuel and weights in front seat to give me a
gross wt of 1310 lbs. at 77 deg. I could tell the plane didnt like this
very much. Climb was very sluggish and I had to increase power in cruise to
maintain alt.
My question, have any of you Corvair guys tried flying to this gross wt? I
am curious max gross on others. Yesterday I tried 1250 lbs at 72 deg and
got a climb of 400 fpm Today was about 200 fpm.

Rick, I'm getting ready to leave on a six week motorcycle trip and
it would be best for me if you would send me your address and I'll get
a copy off to you. As to how their mounted, keep in mind that I did not
build the Piet and I simply copied the way it was attached in the first
place. It is attached with bolts thru the aluminum with large backing
washers and nuts. Works very well.
Hope that helps

Ours must have been made during the same production run - mine is arriving today
via FedEX. I am using an A-75, so the prop is a 72-38 in the same scimitar style,
but using mahogany and ash versus walnut/ash. It's the top one in the picture,
Cloudcars sent me the picture as soon as the prop was done. Glad to hear
the performance is good.
As to delivery - by luck I called out of the blue about one day before they were
doing a run of scimitar props, so mine took hardly any time at all. I think
I ordered it maybe a month ago. Their service and help on the phone was excellent.
I figured I was in good hands when I mentioned the A-75 and Jay immediately
suggested the same size prop I was going to ask for anyway; many folks don't
know how to prop the A-75.

To all within travelling distance:
Just a reminder that the Brussels Pietenpol gathering is less than two
weeks away.
This (19th) annual event is held at a private grass strip (Armstrong
Aerodrome) in the little village of Brussels, Ontario, and is scheduled
for Saturday, June 14th (rain date Sunday the 15th).
Same laid-back atmosphere as Brodhead, just a bit smaller.
Guaranteed to have at least three Piets on site, since there are now
three based at the airstrip.

I have flown at about 1275 lbs and also have to add cruise power to mantain alt.
Sluggish climb, and higher landing speed to ease it on to the ground. Not
as much fun when your that heavy, Feels like its on the edge of it's envelope.
That weight was with me 185lbs and a 220 pounder (6ft 4) in the front hole
and folded up like a paper clip. With my wife and I it flys like a heavy loaded
cub, not too bad and just a touch more power.

Question to the list, with the model A engine what water temp and oil
temp are you seeing. The out side air is about 80 degree, and the water
temp is up to 200 degrees in the climb and about 190 to 195 stright and
level at 1600 RPMs.
The oil after about 10 minutes will go up to a185 degrees, if I reduce
power and start to land with in a couple of minutes the oil will drop
back to 180 degrees.
Any and all thoughts please.
Chet Hartley / Don Hicks really nice flying machine

Thanks for the comparisson numbersguys. Greg, that was on the Rotec
Piet. I was having a slight problem with my ASI and Alt. When I got
back on the ground, I found a piece of crud in the static port, so I am
going to run the test again.
It will climb ok but it sure wants to come down fast on approach.
I never tested the A-65 to more than 1150 lbs.

Dick,
Was this on your Rotec or Continental powered Piet?
We've flown NX18235 (A-65 with a cruise prop) at about 1250 -1275 lbs
on an 82 deg F. day. Performance was pretty anemic and I don't think I
would want to fly it at heavier weights.
