The No 2 Piet had a steel construction with a 4412 wing shortened 2 Ft., push-pull
rod to aileron control, 85 Cont, Round steel struts faired in with balsa.
and much more. I gave a ride to a fellow from England, and he had to have it.
I received information that it is now in a museum in England.
This was built by Hosie Challis of IN. It was one of the fastest Piets I have ever
owned ,except when I put a Werner 145 on my Piet, she would fly @ 85 MPH at
2000 FPM to altitude, but required refueling on my 45 mile trip to Brodhead.

PS The note that I wrote earlier saying that my fuel injection Ford A turned 1450
RPM on take-off, was wrong. It turned 2450 RPM by just opening up the air to
the intake ports.

| Subject: | Aerial project for Anchorage schoolkids |
Howdy, Pieters-
My wife and I just got back from a nearly 1600 mi. (round-trip) drive up to Los
Alamos, NM to gently gather up a beautiful set of landing gear legs from the
late Arlene Walsh's Aerial project. She died earlier this year in an auto accident
and through various actions and reactions, her project will be headed up
to Anchorage, AK to be worked on (and hopefully, completed) by a group of middle
school students. Thanks to Rob Stapleton from this list for putting together
all the pieces.
I examined and handled the various pieces of Arlene's project in the hangar at
Los Alamos. Outside, snow was drifting and the temp was in the high 20s but inside
the hangar it was impossible not to feel the warmth of the varnished wood
from FOUR wing panels (the Aerial is a biplane version of the Piet), as well
as the tail feathers and fuselage, all ready to be crated for shipping to Alaska.
It's a nice project, all hand-built (little humor for you guys there), and
I hope the kids learn about building from it and get the flying bug too.
There was no flying before, during, or after the trip. This winter storm has packed
some very strong and gusty winds, as anyone from Washington to Arkansas
can attest.
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and looking forward to kicking off the
80th anniversary of the Pietenpol beginning January 1 of 2009, an entire year
of celebration! So don't spare the Old Milwaukee, all you cheapskate homebuilders
like me ;o)

I know, I know you guys told me not to worry about it too much but I just couldn't
start my wings with bent spars.
So after much thought I was able to straighten them out a bunch.
I had a 6' piece of 1X3 flat stock steel from my home made brake, I used it as
a straight edge and router guide.
I set a straight line then set the straight edge and re cut the edge of the spar
straight. Once I did that I used that routed edge against my saw fence made
2 rips and presto chango straight edges and squared up spars.
I figured that if I start straight, chances are the wings have a better chance
of coming out straight.
Thought I would share that with everyone
John

Good man! Now if anyone where to tell you to
" Straighten up and fly right! " you can just point
to your wings. :-)

It's amazing how some stuff works. An extra invisible
foot and a half of wing and it didn't cost you a damn thing!
