Oh, for God's sake. I remember the name as Mac McCullough, which I've
probably misspelled. It could be McCarthy, but I think Mac McCarthy was
a guy who built strip canoes, with whom I also had some contact at
roughly that time. Anyone who knows Tailwinds well enough is likely to
remember the guy. He lived two or three doors down from Wittman at
Spruce Creek and had lots of Tailwind time in his own machine and in
Wittman's birds. He figured prominently in one or two stories in Sport
Aviation or Kitplanes 15 years or so ago.
Sorry my scholarship doesn't meet your expectations. On the other hand,
if you can remember this sort of detail after so long, maybe it's time
you got a life.

So one of the greatest Aviators in world History, who had just won his last air
race a few years prior, had to pee, and leaned out his door too far and fell
out, and his wife who was an acomplished pilot for over 40 years, suddenly forgot
how to fly and the aircraft crashed within one mile of wittmans body. WOW!
that really needs to go into the history books. Sorry, I know your just letting
us know what someone else told you so I don't blame you in any way, but try

on my bike if you lift your head and turn side ways you can't turn your head
back straight without ducking under the fairing, scary stuff.

Come to think about it, if I could be 91 and fall out of an airplane I built, great.
What I mean is, in July 98 my dad had septicemia and was in a coma for 3
months and rehab for 3 months in October 99 my mum passed away, in May 2000 my
dad had a stroke, in Aug 2000 my dads best friend in the world died. On Sept
15th or one of the very first days airlines were operating after the 11th attacks
in 2000, My dad, in a wheel chair, barely able to speak, had his first flight
on an Airliner from Kansas to California, someone asked him, "Aren't you
scared?" He looked them square in the eye and as good as he could muster responded,
"Of What!"
If I could win an air race at 88 and still be flying at 91, nothing else would
really matter.

Could you imagine what that would look like, some guy wizzing out a
cracked-open airplane door at 180 mph? How do you spell "atomization".

My No. 2 son had an "incident" with trying to accomplish that task in a
Long EZ which he probably hopes I won't tell - but - what the heck. He
likes to fly from Mojave, CA to McPherson, KS non-stop so he doesn't have
to waste fuel descending and then climbing back up. So, he built a p-tube
into the airplane with a tube that exits down near the left wheel fairing.
Well, on one trip in December, heading back to Mojave, at about Albuquerqu
e the urge comes upon him. Remember - narrow cockpit with almost no room
to move - side stick controls - any movement of the feet also moves the
rudders. So, pants unzipped, porta-john in place - one hand on the
porta-john and the other on the side stick AND the p-tube freezes up. The
airplane is at altitude to clear the mountains and there is no option of
descending into warmer air for about 100+ miles with no real guarantee
that it will ever get warm enough to thaw out the tube. Picture trying to
land with an aromatic open pint container in one hand (which has had to
hold it there in one spot for an hour or so), descending through bumpy
air, and the distinct prospect of having to open the canopy and dump it
out once you're on the ground before you can pull your pants back on.
Now, wouldn't you consider making a normal pit-stop the next time? Nope!
He's talking about installing a tube heater.

Gentlemen, please..in a free society there has to be latitude for normal
behavior and conversation. Though I understand your frustration at seeing 10
emails, all off topic, and I especially appreciate the input from our
brothers 'down under,' I suspect that the reason there have been so many
unusual posts is that, for whatever reason, there just aren't many building
questions this week. Individuals who frequent this list have found good
information, camaraderie and motivation; all essential to the project.
If someone has a building question, please speak up..the natives are getting
restless.
The last thing we need, in my humble opinion, are more rules. The 'DELETE'
button works great.

I'm sure Mr. Dralle would get right on that, as soon as he starts getting
paid commensurate to the amount of time it would take to do such filtering.
The Piet list is much better than other lists when it comes to off-topic
banter, especially for a forum that does not have a pro-active moderator
(Matronics/Matt provides the mailing lists, but doesn't appear to really get
involved too much otherwise). The ratio of banter to good information is not
too bad. What listers need to remember is how to use the "do not archive"
tag. If you post something that doesn't have any reason to go in the
archive, add "do not archive" to the end of your message. Very simple. We
all still get the message, it just won't take up space in the archives.
Also, when you reply to a message on the list, take two seconds to scroll
through and remove the absolutely pointless text. This would mainly include
advertising added by free email services, the bold text Matronics
paragraphs, etc. Those serve no purpose other than to make your message
longer and more difficult to read.
Insofar as wanting useful information....ask a question! If you ask a
question and someone has useful information to contribute, you will usually
get a reply with said useful information. Also make sure to search the
archive (if you do not already). Many, many questions have been asked and
answered over the years, and there are good odds are you may be able to find
what you are looking for there.
Either way, it just so happens that the only thing floating around at the
moment is what you consider to be BS (you are probably right). However, the
BS is not preventing more useful posts from being made; nobody is posting
anything else! I would invite you to get the ball rolling and fire off a
question, Ted.
Have a good day,
Ryan

Subject: | Steerable Tailwheel |
OK, I'll start.
My tailwheel is almost finished and I decided to add the steering horn,
rather than rely on brakes for steering. I understand, and have seen many
photos of, attaching the tailwheel horn to a rudder horn with springs, but I
wish to attach mine to the rudder pedals.
What options can you offer, assuming that there are two choices: Run a
separate cable all the way to the rudder pedal; or somehow link up with the
rudder cable?

Relax!!!!!! I happen to enjoy some of the banter and find it amusing! Remem
ber, when we as a society forget how to laugh and enjoy, we loose sight of
living to share memories. This group of builders are fantastic and everyone
has a unique take on many issues both aircraft related and non-aircraft re
lated. I can remember many laughable moments from these Pieter's and it mad

There are quite a few responses to this question from about 2-weeks ago
when I asked the same question. Believe it or not, just last night I
finished running new cables all the way back from the rudder bar to the
tail wheel to connect to the shimmy damper springs that I purchased from
Aircraft Spruce. The only hard part of the project was the need to
install an additional pair of pulleys behind the pilot seat to redirect
the new cables down to the tailwheel assembly. There will be a couple of
new fairleads also at the point where the cables exit the fuselage. On
the whole, these cable assemblies probably weigh more than a simple
connection to the rudder but the weight is further forward. Also, the
rudder is completely separated from the shock loads imposed by the tail
wheel.

Gary,
On Bill Rewey's Piet, I believe he uses brass (pretty sure they are brass)
split bolt connectors to clamp his tailwheel steering cables onto his rudde
r
cables, just forward of the base of the seat bottom in the rear cockpit. An
example of a split bolt connector:
http://www.meetindustries.net/full-images/591109.jpg
An example of where they are clamped:
http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Bill%20Rewey/DSCF0024.JPG
I know it's a very poor pic, but it's the only thing I can find online. We
are out of town for a wedding so I don't have my Brodhead pics available. I
f
you look in the area beneath where the headset cable crosses the front of
the seat cushion you can just barely make out the connector. At least it
gives a bit of an idea of where they are attached.
Anyhow, Bill's Piet has been flying for years with no reported problem with
that arrangement (that I know of). It's simple, and prevents you from havin
g
another cable passing through the "foot holes". The location of the clamp
allows you to easily inspect the cables for wear or deterioration due to
that arrangement. You don't have to worry about beefing up the lower portio
n
of the rudder to handle any additional stress from using it to steer the
tailwheel. Finally, you avoid adding the weight of the beefer rudder
structure and rudder-to-tailwheel steering horn. Inconsequential, I am sure
,
but when it comes to adding weight that far to the rear I would imagine
every little bit helps.
If you want more info on how to do that it is available from Bill for $2, o
r
as part of his entire info pack. I don't believe I am infringing on his
ability to sell that info. What I have shown or described is no more than
what you can see by walking up and looking into his rear cockpit. If you bu
y
his info sheet it has drawings, and more information.
Hope that helps, have a good one.

Sorry to interrupt the banter with a real answer, and actually, it's more of
a follow-up question rather than an answer, and maybe it could also be
classified as "banter", but here goes:
By "cub-style" gear, do you mean the split axle gear as shown on drawing No.
3 of the improved Air Camper plans (clip attached). If so, then yes, most
builders have the plans. They are readily available from the Pietenpol
family.
You write that you have an idea what you want it to look like, I would guess
that what you want it to look like would be, oh, I don't know... maybe
something like ... cub gear?
Maybe I'm missing something here.

I greatly enjoy the banter, but I'll ask a real question.
We are about to order metal for landing gear. Does anyone have any plans for
cub style gear? I have an idea what I want it to look like, I am concerned
about tubing size.
Thanks, Jeremy in Dallas

Subject: | Re: Landing gear |
Jeremy,
Could you define "Cub style" a bit more? If you are building a Pietenpol Air
Camper (versus a GN-1), and want to use actual Cub landing gear (or
replicate that dimensionally) you would have a problem bolting them on. The
gear attach points on a Cub gear do not mate up with the gear fittings on a
Piet.
If you want "Cub style" versus the wood gear, the 1933 Piet plans that you
would purchase from the Pietenpol family include the plan sheet for a welded
steel tube landing gear that is more along those lines. There are
differences of course; coil springs versus bungees, different geometry, etc.
Or are you looking to replicate the exact function and geometry of Cub
gear, down to the bungees, but build it to bolt directly on to a Piet?

Sorry about that. I like the looks of the the triangle under the floor to attach
my struts to versus the long spring strut to the front gear mounting point.
I have springs already, so I don't plan to use shock chord. Our plane is a
Sky Scout. I have the plans and builder's guide from the Peit family, but it
doesn't have any additional gear plans in it. I want to build them to plans
minus the the spring struts. The ones in the plans are heavy and I just like
the other look better. The gear on Chuck Gantzer's plane are the look I'm going
for.

Jeremy,
As far as plans for that, I don't know. That is the gear that Bernard used
himself on his later aircraft, such as N7533U and the Last Original (take a
look on WestCoastPiet for pics). When you say you like the look of Chuck G's
gear, do you also mean the streamlined tubing look? I could be wrong, but I
don't think he used streamlined tubing to build his gear. If you go to
WestCoastPiet and look at pics of his airplane you can see what I would
surmise are earlier shots of his Piet with landing gear made from normal
round tubing. I would imagine that he later used wood strips fore and aft to
fair in the gear legs, and then wrapped those pieces with fabric, thereby
achieving the streamlined look. Or at least that is one way you could do it
without having to change tubing size from plans (if and when you find those
plans :P).
Time to get ready for the hoopla this evening. Have a good rest of the day
everyone!

have to remake them in order to get the oval sleeves on to the cables.-We
also added some fairleads inside and outside the fuselage to guide the cab

I'm using Bill Rewy's idea. I connected the tailwheel steering cables to the rudder
cables under the rear seat using brass #10 split wire connectors, just like
those in the pictures in the previous post. They work really well and I've
had no problems at all. They can be easily loosened and slid slightly forward
or aft if needed for adjustment. I've only done that once. There are other
ways but these are definitely very simple and they don't cause stress on the
rudder.

OOOOOhhh, you're talking about the Sky Scout landing gear... That's
different ... Never mind.
But seriously, I guess your plans would show the landing gear similar to the
gear shown in the attached photo (Sky Scout.jpg).
That is definitely different from the Air camper plans. I kind of like the
looks of the Sky Scout gear, but you are building your plane, so you get to
do what you want.
Anyway, I believe Chuck Gantzer's landing gear was originally built to the
Improved Air Camper plans (with bungees), and he later modified them to
accommodate the compression springs (see second attached photo). Here's a
link to Chuck's webpage - go to the bottom of the page for the landing gear.
Looks like it would be pretty straightforward to figure out - all you need
to do is replace the cross tubes (with the bungees) with the spring
mechanism. There are details of the spring arrangement here:
http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/photoDisplay.cfm?PhotoName=lndg_gear_spring
.jpg&PhotoID 09
And, from the 1933 plans, the sizes of the tubes for the "Improved" landing
gear are 1 3/8" diameter x 14ga 1020 steel tube for the main vees, and 3/4"
diameter x 18ga 1020 steel tube for the cross tubes.
Does that help?

I guess you have not yet realized that many of us have made friends on the

laugh, a topic or social banter with a friend. A friend meaning all that come to
the board. Many of us are less than that serous all the time. I would hope
you would or could consider this is a gathering place for builders and

most importantly a passion for our Piets.

We are having Joe Norris on the show tomorrow morning at 10:07 AM eastern time at www.flighttimeradio.com. Joe is the new homebuilt community manager for EAA. He was the top tech support guy there for a log time and is probably the most knowledegeable people I know with experimental and certified aircraft. It would be great if some of you wanted to call into the show and ask Joe some technical questions. The number is 904-854-1320.

Subject: | Re: Steerable Tailwheel |
Tom, Ryan, Shad, Don,
Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of using the nicopress sleeves as I
haven't made my cables yet.
Now can we get back to the peeing-in-the-cup stories? I have one too....the
punch line is that my dad got an award from the local EAA (about 35 years
ago), called the H.E.R.E (Human Element Range Extender) award, for "clear
thinking under pressure." It consisted of an old boot, painted silver, glued
to a nice board.
You fill in the story...

I'm using Bill Rewy's idea. I connected the tailwheel steering cables to
the rudder cables under the rear seat using brass #10 split wire connectors,
just like those in the pictures in the previous post. They work really well
and I've had no problems at all. They can be easily loosened and slid
slightly forward or aft if needed for adjustment. I've only done that once.
There are other ways but these are definitely very simple and they don't
cause stress on the rudder.

Ted,
Yeah, sometimes things get crazy.
The one biggest thing that people have to add is do not archive
anywhere in the text so Matt won't be bombarded with high storage
in the archives,,,as you have done

Can we verify that this is a Pietenpol list and not a BS section list?
Enough is enough
I just want useful information. That is what I thought this list was
about.

We do not stop playing because we grow old;

Never Be The First To Get Old!!!!!
It's good to see some of us are not getting old.
I thought that's what Pietenpoling was all about,
not getting old!
Just to keep things in the proper fashion, I am going
to run my tailwheel cables straight to the bar. It might
be a little difficult to attach them to the rudder cables
anywhere else as they go straight from the bar to the
horns. On the horns of a dilema as it were. :-)
Won't get that done for a while though, got too many
flutes to make!
