Hello all,
My Saturday consisted of showing my Pietenpol project to lots of kids and families.
I was asked to bring my project out to our Tulare County Kid's Fest. I
set up my fuselage and almost competed wing panel along with a sheet of the plans
and picture of what it could look like when complete. I was able to show
kids and parents about the plane and about airplanes in general. It was fun and
hopefully some of them learned something and sparked an interest in aviation.
Then Sunday I spent a little time flying a Cherokee 140 (2.6 hours) and even grabbed
my dad and took him for a ride.
Well I just thought i'd throw that out since it IS Piet related.
Mike Groah

(Fuse and tail done other than main gear and a hundred other things, One wing panel
almost done, center section almost done, and tons of other things to do.
This Christmas will mark a year working on the project. I will finish it one
of these days.)

| Subject: | Pietenpol Bomber |
Hello guys, we had a blast this past saturday with a little airport hanger
party/fly-in.- We were going to have a spot landing competition, and bomb
drop, but just did the bombdrop.- It was windy and a little bit cold but
we still had fun.- A friend of mine I work with came by in time for his
1st ride in the piet, little did he know he was getting drafted into the Pi
etenpol Airforce.- He was my bombbardier.- Water balloons were the orde
nance, and a blue barrel the target.- That is the 1st time I have tried t
hat, we did one low torpedo type run, and a 900ft- high, B-29 style appro
ach.- Of course the B-29's bombsight was waaaaay off.- Earl, with his b
lue Stinson 108 actually hit the barrel, with his girlfriend as his bombadi
er, and the Eckles boys in the cub got close with the "stuka" dive bomb apr
oach.- Next year I will try to plan a little better and get a few more in
vites out so we can have team bombdrop, Piets vs ????- (I bet RV's would
have
a heck of a time throwing stuff out.)-

Sign me up for next year's bombing runs Shad. I'll set up some drums
at my home base to practice
before I come down.

I'm about a 2-1/2 to 3 hour drive from LA. It's about 50 miles south of Fresno
on the 99. (KTLR is our local airport.)
We're the home to the World Ag Expo which is the worlds largest agriculture gathering.
During Feb each year thousands of people fill up our little farming town
and the surrounding area to attend the ag expo. Other than that we're a small
agriculture and dairy community.

| Subject: | aileron pulley supports |
Some time ago I recall seeing a post that the two bolts that hold on the aileron
pulley supports in the wing, will not fit as drawn on the plans. These are the
two bolts that are underneath the pulley and between the pulley support arms.
The poster said the bolt is too long to fit between the support arms and then
through the drilled 3/16 inch hole. Looking at the plans and my cut out supports
that sure looks to be the case. The poster wound up just drilling the attachment
holes to the inside of the two pulleys on the support. Is this what
everyone else has done? What about just reversing the bolt and putting the nut
under the pulley and the head on the inside of the spar? As long as there is
adequate clearance between the nut and the aileron cable, would it make any difference?

I did mine as per the plans and they worked out fine. I did have to chamfer
the holes in the bracket slightly so that the bolts would slide through on
the angle, but that did not seem to weaken the bracket. The trick is that
the holes need to be drilled in the spar and the bracket slid into place
with the bolts already in place in the bracket, a bit tricky but mine worked
out fine and it's very secure. Ed G.

I agree ... I did the same and the plans design works fine.

| Subject: | Looking for Corvair Flight Engine for Display in So. Cal |
Hey gang-
Kind of weird post here, but oddly enough besides being Piet follower, I'm also
a Zenith guy AND a Corvair driver (auto). One thing these three machines have
in common is the use of the Corvair engine. There's a big Corvair event coming
up end of the month in So Cal, and they're hoping to find someone with a Corvair
flight engine for a display, or even one mounted to a fuse, etc. the following
is from a friend in the Corvair car group, that he posted to the Zenith
group, that I'm passing along here, too. they don't care if you're a Zenith
guy, or whatever, if you have a Corvair flight engine you would display. Here's
his post:
" I have made several requests to several places including Flycorvair.com with
no responses so I thought I'd make the request here.
"I am a member of Vintage Corsa, the Orange County, California chapter of
CORSA, Corvair Society of America (cars & trucks). Our chapter is hosting
the Great Western Fan Belt Toss this year. It is one of the largest Corvair
(car & truck) events on the west coast each year. The 'Toss will be held at
the Orange County Fair Grounds on October 31st, November 1st and 2nd. It has
been moved from Palm Springs to Orange County this year to try to give the Corvair
more exposure to the general public. The 'Toss will share the
fairgrounds that weekend with a national woodworking convention and the
Orange County Market Place. The OC Market place boasts that they are the
largest swap meet in Southern California. Thousands of people are expected
to attend the fairgrounds that weekend. See our website for more information
about the 'Toss. Vintagecorsa.com
The reason that I have posted here is that we were wondering if someone
wanted to represent the flight segment of the Corvair movement. Is there someone
with a flight Corvair engine that might want to bring it to the show? (Could
I dream of a fuselage with mounted engine?) If we can get
someone, I'll see to it the display space is free. If you can think of a local
So Cal guy that might be interested in displaying, please forward this email.
It sure would be cool if we had a flight engine at the show! If someone wanted
to travel to the show, I have a spare bedroom.
Anyone should contact me directly.
Thanks,
Dave Thompson
Westminster, CA
Dave.thompson@verizon.net

It didn't look like that copies and pasted as nice as I'd liked, hopefully it worked
OK. I've found the Corvair car guys to be as nice a group as can be, and
I'm sure it would be a blast for someone in the area.

I'll take one too. I don't plan on carving a prop for this Piet, but
probably the next. Either way it will be good info to see. And I will pick
up my copy in person, which gives me an excuse to see your Piet!
