Jim. If you would like one send me your address and I'll send you the
pattern off of mine, if I have time before I leave sunday. It may or may
not be what your looking for but it could be a good start. I'm happy with
it but that doesn't mean you will be. As far as mounting, it is mounted
using 4 angled braces attached to the combing.

First off, I just had to correct the spelling in the subject line. Typos
like that drive me nuts.
Secondly, (unlike Walt) my plans from Don Pietenpol did not include any
information regarding windshields. If it is something that they used to
include with the plans, they must have discontinued doing it (or at least
they didn't do it when I ordered my plans four years ago). Or maybe they
just like Walt more than me.
Thirdly, since I've had my plans for almost four years now, shouldn't I have
more to show than a bunch of ribs and a horizontal stab and elevators? I
seem to remember thinking that this was going to be a five-to-ten year
project, but at this rate who knows how long it will take. Oh well, I'm
having a lot of fun with it whenever I do get a chance to work on it.
Fourthly, I'm actually looking forward to figuring out a windshield design,
and building it, when I get to that stage. For now, I'm just studying
various designs and figuring out what I like and don't like.
Fifthly, I'm really looking forward to next Saturday in Brussels.
Sixthly, . I think that's enough for now.

You think designing your own windscreen is a big deal, just wait till you
get to design and build your own cowling. Especially if you plan on doing a
glass nosebowl of some kind, then you get to learn glass layup, sheet metal
cutting/bending, riveting, and 3-D spatial geometry all at the same time. I
am also interested in windscreen designs. I think Mike Cuy's is the simples
t
and what I will try to copy.

In my experience, the cowling was a piece of cake compared to making the
frames for the three-piece style windshield. But then, my cowling is
like Mike Cuy's - all sheet aluminum. I try to avoid fiberglass
wherever possible.

Hi,
Dick N. has a radial running in his plane, think its about same hp. Chad Wille's
aerial has a 6 cyl continental in it. Those are about same size/hp and actually
flying.
My biplane project has a 125hp Enma Tigre, but its not flying yet and is a metal
tube frame GN-1, so not quite the same.
What questions are you trying to answer.. seems like the guys in this group are
pretty knowlegable.

says he can get one . But I think I got one in good shape,free turning at a
price I was willing to pay, that I could go pick up with in 200 miles from
home.

Interested in bulkhead and firewall improvments made if any to support the additional
torque and hp generated by non traditional engines being the model A by
design
Also the ultimate prop for climb config on a heavier wide body piet

Hi,
Dick N. has a radial running in his plane, think its about same hp. Chad Wille's
aerial has a 6 cyl continental in it. Those are about same size/hp and actually
flying.
My biplane project has a 125hp Enma Tigre, but its not flying yet and is a metal
tube frame GN-1, so not quite the same.
What questions are you trying to answer.. seems like the guys in this group are
pretty knowlegable.
Jim

I have 2 Piets so there are 2 answers. On my first, the ground plate is
behind the rear seat. It is formed and serves as the inspection cover
on the bottom of the fuse from the rounded section of plywood floor to
the next cross member aft. On the new Piet, the plate is on the floor
and is what you step on in front of the rear seat. It also serves as
floor stiffiner as some use a steel strap to re enforce the aft landing
gear beam.
I have a plywood cover inside the cockpit that forms a map holder. It's
an idea I borrowed from Mike Cuy. In both cases, the antenna sitts in
there right next to the radio.

Dick, many thanks for sharing your experience! I've decided to try
the same approach and postpone getting new mags, wiring harness and
plugs.
Where did you put the antenna and ground plane?--Jim Lagowski, NX221PT

Many others will have great suggestions, but I just went thru this
problem and found 2 things that made a world of difference. First, I
took of the hand held antenna aninstalles a full sized VHF antenna.
Second, I grounded the antenna to a horizontal ground plate, approx
24"x18"
I went from having so much static that I couldnt communicate more
that 1/2 mi., to hearing traffic 25+ mi out.

I just learned that I may have a problem communicating from my
Piet that has a 65 Continental with Bendix-Scintilla mags, unshielded
wiring and old time ceramic plugs. My intention was to use my handheld
radio with a plugged in headset. I have been advised that the static
will be so bad that I will basically be unable to communicate. What to
do since I will not fly without being able to transmit and receive
clearly. I would like to avoid the expense of new mags, shielded wiring
and new shielded plugs. I'm about a month away from engine fireup.
Am I stuck with getting new stuff or is there an alternative(s)
out there?--Jim Lagowski, NX221PT

Dick,
Could you please clarify your comment on the ground? The antenna
shouldn't actually be grounded to a plate, right? What you want to do
is attach the coax shielding (the outer braid) to a "ground plane" or
plate at the base of the antenna. The antenna itself and the coax
center signal wire should be insulated from everything else,
particularly the ground plane.
That is how I installed my antenna, it is on the bottom of the nose,
~30" behind the prop. It is an 1/8" brass brazing rod, routed through
two nylon bushings or "sleeves" that I bought at Home Depot. It all
cost me about $4, and I can transmit up to 125 nautical miles air to
air.
I bought an antenna book from RST Engineering for about $10 I believe.
It had good and relatively brief and simple explanations on how to
build several very effective antennas for aircraft. The book was very
well worth it. I don't see it on their website, but I'm sure you
could call or e-mail them about it. Three keys that stick in my mind
are 1) have a good ground plane 2) the antenna must be the proper
length and 3) keep the tip of the antenna away from other metal parts.
