Hi all
How have people that have used the leaf spring type tailwheel fitted it to the
A/C?
Does anyone have some close up pictures or drawings I am sure that I have seen
some somewhere a while back but cant seem to find them.
Thanks for any help

I hereby lay claim to being the first Pietenpol list member to watch
"The Great Waldo Pepper" in the new year of 2009. Actually, it was the
first time I've ever seen the movie (I have it on VCR and now on DVD but
had not viewed it since acquiring my own mint condition videotape).
I expected a fairly lightweight film but it has EXCELLENT air
action, a good story line, some very tense scenes, and I'm glad I own
the movie now.
I think my favorite line is going to be "I never give rides to kids-
but for you I'll make an exception" (or whatever it is he tells the kid
in the opening piece). Good movie.

| Subject: | Split axle bungees |
Split axle Pieters,
I have question for you guys that have wrapped the split axle bungees. I'm on
my third set. My first set was only half inch and didn't work out too well.
My second set was 5/8" and worked well for a couple of years. This past summer
I ordered more 5/8" and replaced them but the bungee stock just didn't seem
to be the same quality. They've softened some already. I like them nice and
tight. Anyway I think I might take them off, shorten them some and wrap them
back on. I have just been wrapping them on by hand. Lots of cussing required!
Does anyone have any special tricks they've come up with to wrap them suckers
on there really tight? Maybe a come-along? Some kind of fixture?
Thanks,
Don Emch

Do you have the Tigre on the airplane after all? Sorry I have
not made any more progress translating the shop manuals from

wingtips turned out very smooth!

Oscar,
I looked at other engines, but only as a plan "B". The Tigre only needs two more
exhaust stacks, the oil pressure line finished, and a couple leads for the magnetos
to appear finished. It is already mounted and safety wired in place, has
the correct prop and spinner and so forth.
Been oiling the cyclinders once in a while and keeping it from freezing up.
I appreciate the work you have already done on the magneto manuals. My A&P tech
advisor, told me to leave everything that is done as it is and move on, then
if I don't like something revisit it, otherwise it may never get done. Think he
had a point. Any other engine will cost a lot, need a different prop, motor
mounts, cowling and reworking all the W&B adjustments that have already been made.
So I plan on going forward with the Tigre. I think it looks great from the
front and rear, just from the side it seems a bit long nosed. Will have to find
some way to insure it is reasonably safe to fly before I take it up, but there
is no immediate danger of it flying very soon.
Jim

If you really want to do safe aerobatics I'd change it to a biplane with a
swept upper wing, a 180 hp Lycoming with an inverted fuel and oil system, a
symmetrical airfoil and a constant speed prop.
Seriously, if you want aerobatic, build something else, like a Pitts
Special. I did aerobatics in my J-3 Cub years ago. When I recovered it, I
found every rib in the elevators were bent. I haven't done anything other
than wingovers in the Pietenpol.

Just got done with Waldo Pepper.
Always thought it was a chuckle head movie by the title.
The movie was top notch.
How the heck did they do the in air shots?
There were some discrepencies, like getting out of the cockpit with one
set of clothes on, and then wing walking with a jump suit on.
But all things considered,,,Great movie.
PS If anyone emails me at my email.
wbeevans@verizon.net
And sends me their snail mail.
I'll mail the DVD's to them. (sorry it's on 2 DVD's)
Then you can send it to the next guy.

Oscar,
You are correct on the propping.
I even "rewound" to see it again. He pulled it the wrong way onto the
compression, then it flipped back and started. And they did it more
than once throughout the movie
Anyone know if this is a goof on the movies part, or an unusual way to
start those Jenny engines?
