Gene (Rambo),
Yes I have an aftermarket head with 8 plug holes. I have one mag driven off
the end of the crank, and the other off the camshaft. Photo attached.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: aileron stuff
Well guys here is a status report on my project. Per Dan Helsper's
request I attached some photos of my wing with the aileron attached. I
have also included a photo of drilling the aileron horn attachment. I
used the hardwood block and tube method to insure the holes were aligned
properly and perpendicular. This idea came from Chris Tracy on his web
site. It worked well. This is the same method I used to drill all of the
holes for the aileron hinge attachment screws.
On the wings I still need to put in the nut plates for the aileron
hinges, mount the aileron pulley supports and then run the cable.
The fuselage is pretty well done, including all of the controls and
cables I have mounted the main instruments in the IP, but still need to
do some more like the engine gages, throttle, carb heat etc.. I am going
to put the fuel tank in the front and that still needs to be made. The
wing center section is complete. My empennage is complete and has been
fitted to the fuselage with the guy wires for a test fit. Next on the
agenda is the tail wheel and the straight axle main gear.
I'd like to have my Piet done for the 80th in Oshkosh, but realistically
that might be a stretch, depending on how much I get done this winter. I
am also going to use a corvair engine. I have the core, but I still need
to rebuild it. Around Valparaiso (VPZ) we have 4 Piet's in various
stages on construction. All of them will be using Corvair power. The
plan is to rebuild all of the engines at the same time in the same
location with the assistance of our local EAA tech counselor. The great
thing is the tech counselor is rebuilding a Piet and also doing a
corvair conversion. He is also the person who did the restoration of the
Allison engines for the Glacier Girl P-38 a few years ago.

Thanks for the complement Jack. The inspiration actually came from photos of your
plane and a couple of others.

Jeff, this is the only side photo I have. I don't think the angle it's
bent at is all that important as the windshild is flexable and can be
formed around the cockpit. I used a brake to bend the windshild and I
bent it somewhere around 30 to 45 degrees (just eyeballed it). If you
want more photos let me know and I'll send them directly to you.
Skip, glad to hear that the cockpit cover helped cut down the draft.
I've been considering making one to see if it would. Now I know and
I'll be making one for sure.
Dick, I'm really envious. Wish Tennessee had some real winter with
frozen lakes to land on. I've spent most of my life in Alaska and do
miss a "real" winter. Winter flying is like tail wheel flying. If you
haven't done it, you've miss out on the best part of flying. The info
on adjusting the flying wires is very much appreciated and if installing
the front windshild does not take care of the tail heavyness, I'll
adjust them.
Gene

Jeff, I just realized I may have misunderstood your question about the angle
of the windshild. If what you want is the angle the windshild slopes back,
let me know and I'll get a photo with the plane in flying attitude.

Hi John,
There are several ways to do it. This was my method. I welded a tube in to the
strut and put an eye bolt in. Check out the fly in the picture too! Huh.

John,
Here is what I did at the spar. I made a fitting from =BE" x =BE" 6061-T6
aluminum angle from Home Depot. At the lift strut I did exactly like Don E
mch, except I cut the end of the eyebolt off flush with the lift strut and
welded it too. Here is a picture:

John,
Sorry about that. I guess I can't tell the difference between spar and strut.
I did my spar attachment just like Mike Cuy's. Bent some flat stock into an
angle. I think it might have been .063". Hey Jack, yeah drilling those rates
right up there with drilling the spars. Makes for a few tense moments.
