I, too, am a card-carrying full Colonel in the TACO organization. I have to caution
some of you about Mike Cuy... being a yankee, Sterling issued Mike a "green
card" for undocumented aliens. I'll bet he even eats salsa that comes out
of a jar and eats tamales with the shuck still on 'em.
As to transferring the outline of a wing rib plan to a board or another piece of
paper, I used my wife's pattern tracer from her sewing stuff. It looks like
a miniature pizza cutter but with little teeth on the rim of the wheel. As you
follow the outline of your template, the wheel makes a continuous string of
tiny holes. You pull off your template and go over the row of holes with the
edge of a pencil to define the line, then get a flexible stick or ship's curve
(if you have one) along the edge and fair in a nice true dark line. that's
what I did on my Flying Squirrel. I agonized over getting it exact whereas a
quick glance at the prototype shows that the designer simply built and flew, with
very little concern for exactitude. His flew long ago, mine ain't yet. Moral
of the story: don't worry about precision.

Awhile back, on another subject, someone stated they installed their
aileron hinge before cutting the aileron free. I'm trying to figure out
how to do that. Was it a temporary attachment? Also, after temporarily
mounting the hinge, have people had problems with a fit after covering?
I'm planning on using a full length piano hinge. If it binds, I will
cut into sections after it is attached.
Thanks,

Hi Jack......I installed my hinges before cutting the aileron free from the
wing. It worked out great, BUT, I used the modified strap hinges as per the
plans. They will simply poke through a slot in the fabric when covered. I
don't see how you would be able to fit up a piano hinge before cutting the
aileron free.... Ed Grentzer

Tim,
I just called the phone number for Belle & Blade War Video (www.warshows.com)
[1-800-365-2104] and spoke to Linda concerning "The Great Waldo Pepper"
movie DVD. She said that it is in stock for $32.00 (imported from Germany)
and to call her and ask for the movie and it is not listed on the web site
or catalog currently, they need to update.
I've been trying to find the old TV series "The Tales of the Golden Monkey"
which Linda is working on. Does anyone remember this series about 25 years
ago?
Good Luck,

Subject: | Re: Aileron hinge |
Jack,
Can't remember the details, but I cut the aileron away before installing
the hinge. Just took time to get the top edges even before securing the
hinge.
I used the nutplates from AS&S inside held with tiny brass screws, that
I got from a hobby store. Just lay them out so they don't interfere with
any rib, with the spacing.
Used flat head screws, so's not to interfere
I had no problem with fit after I covered, then put the hinge back on.
My full length hinge never seemed to bind at all.
Very happy with it thanks to Mike Cuy's recomendation.
Don't waste money on the extruded hinge. The basic rolled hinge is fine.
That's what they use on the highspeed planes, so it's OK for us

Subject: | Looking for wheels and brakes for my Piet |
Robert,
Are you going for Jenny style or Cub-style gear? If the latter, I can help.
My bearings require a 1.5 inch shaft, the wheels are 6 inch, and the brake hardware
is set up for discs. I have no brakes, but if I used these as planned two
years ago, I would use mechanical go-cart brakes. (I also have go-cart brake
pedals.) OTOH, all this gear looks exactly like the same hardware components
as on my project, which also has aircraft hydraulic brakes.
Let me know if you are interested.

That's pretty much what I did, although I didn't trust the little brass
screws to always hold the nutplates in place, so I epoxied them in place
as well as screwed them on. I followed Tony Bingelis' advice and made
my piano hinges in multiple pieces and would NOT recommend doing it that
way - it was a bear getting them to all line up properly and nay binding
caused by wing deflection would be no worse than the binding caused by
all those little hinges not being perfectly aligned with each other.
I also used the expensive extruded hinges and would NOT recommend that
either. Too expensive and no benefit over the rolled hinges. Over all,
I really like the piano hinge installation since it also seals the gaps
between the ailerons and the wing, but if I had it to do over again I
would use rolled hinges and make them one-piece.

Jack,
I cut both ailerons free, sanded the faces smooth then installed the
piano hinge and nut plates ala Walt Evan's and others
(seen in upper portion of photo along with coiled up aileron cables)
using aluminum extruded piano hinge. I believe you could
use formed hinges rather than extruded but Bingelis said the extruded
ones are more reliable if aileron flutter is encountered.
(then again aileron flutter to a Pietenpol is probably about as chancy
as having excess rates of climb)
I used full-length hinges as I believe it is more difficult to align
sections of them so I steered clear of that method---plus if you use
the full-span you essentially have a gap-filler there where you make the
hinge top/line even with the top of the wing and the aileron
eliminating the necessity of putting clear tape or matching fabric tape
over that gap to keep the aileron effectiveness up.

Mike,
What are those two parallel pieces running down the center of your wing that
look like wood cap strip material?

Subject: | in lieu of inter-rib lacing tape....wing bay explaination |
Dan,
Good eyes. That is capstrip material glued the length of the wing ribs
to help stabilize the ribs and keep them in position
under the forces they experience when you heat taughten your dacron
fabric. The standard practice is/was to wrap and then
criss-cross inter-rib-lacing tape (like basements have X's in between
floor joists ?) to help hold the ribs in place but I'm told
that mice like to eat that stuff and it tends to deteriorate over time.
Frank Pavliga advised me to simply glue in strips of
leftover capstrip material (actually I think I just ordered more to do
this job) for this purpose and it worked out great.
One additional comment--I was really surprised by all of the creaking
and groaning that the wood did as I tightened the
fabric with my iron at the three increasingly higher shrink
temperatures. Fabric is powerful.

Jim,
I do have Mike C.'s video, but I have been working on this airplane so long
(8 + years) that I can't remember back that far sometimes. But really,
sometimes I dig out a part I made years ago, and scratch my head wondering why
in
the world I did it this way or that. Hopefully it won't be much longer, before
I lose my mind altogether!

Yes, that's the series. It was set at Key West or somewhere in the

Maybe some of you guys have run into this but it's my first time
and I have to say if the right person had not come along at the
right time it would have cost me a bundle.I changed the harness
and then I was in the process of changinging the spark plugs when
the AME(aircraft maintenance engineer)came up to me and asked what
I was doing.I said I'm changing the plugs but I'm convinced that's
not the problem and that it was the mags were going bad.He said"what's
the gap your using?" I said .25 and he said use .15;that mag can't keep
up with the .25 and it will fail.I do as he said because he said they
use the same gap in the tow plane and it works fine.Now shes running
like a sowing machine.I took her up for a flight and it was glorious.
I owe that guy a lot and he never even hung around for a thankyou.
Next time I see him I'll have to find out what his poison is!Now you
know ;check the spark plug gap when things get rough or don't work at all.

yes a lot of the mags need a small gap-another tip-if you have the mag off-don't
spin it unless the plug contacts are grounded or crank the engine with the wires
off and the ignition on unless the wires are grounded.another way to cook
it.Raymond

Subject: | old engine for sale |
Hello, Pieters; I got an email from a gent who asked that I post this for anyone
who might be interested. I know nothing else about this engine.
--------------------------
This is an estate sale of old aircraft and parts that are up for bid. I saw this engine and thought that perhaps someone might find it to be of interest and perhaps even of use: http://www.dtroneaircraftcollection.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=40 12.
Globe Aero engine - "1930", 50 h.p., air-cooled, upright, 4-cylinder; uses many
Ford model A parts; no accessories. (A conversation piece) Included is the July
1930 "Aero Digest" article showing photos and drawings and giving performance
data and full descriptions of the engine and its parts. A copy of the article
in the March 1997 "Experimenter", titled "Light Plane Heritage: Liquid or Air
Cooling?" with photos and description of the Globe is also included. Appraised
value $1,500. There's a couple of pictures of the engine on the site. It's
a four-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It appears to have one magneto and a single
updraft carburetor. The rockers are exposed. There's a swing-out engine mount
attached. No prop hub is visible. I have no connection to the sale and just
happened across the listing. Regards to all,David PauleBoulder, CO

This engine is part of Denny Trone's collection that is up for sale. Denny
was a fixture at Brodhead, who passed on in the crash of a Dormoy Bathtub a
couple months ago. I had the opportunity to be given a short tour of his
collection a number of years back, and it was pretty amazing. I would
recommend going to the site and browsing through the items for sale. There
are numerous pictures of each item, be it aircraft or engine, and a short
history of each as well. There are many one of a kind antique aircraft and
engines in there. Pretty neat.
