    Subject: What airfoil does the pientenpol use?
    Hi Bill, If you don't already own it, one of the books you should get if you are going to build a Pietenpol is the 1932 Flying and Glider Manual (available from EAA). It has the original plans for the Air Camper and is an interesting read. Chet Peek's book on the Air Camper is also fascinating, if you are interested in the history of this craft. While on the subject of books, if you don't have them, be sure to get a copy of the four Tony Bingelis books, The Sportplane Builder, Sportplane Construction Techniques, Firewall Forward, and Tony Bingelis on Engines. Nearly every question you will come up with while building this airplane is answered in one or more of those books. Welcome to the list! I enjoyed meeting you at the EAA meeting last week. Jack Phillips NX899JP Raleigh, NC _____ From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ryan Mueller Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 1:08 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What airfoil does the pientenpol use? Bill, Have a good third shift! And congrats on being with a company that needs to have a third shift. :P You can search the archives at this address: http://www.matronics.com/search/ Just pick "Pietenpol" from the Select Archive drop down menu. Read the instructions to learn how to format your search for optimal results. The Pietenpol airfoil is the "FC10" airfoil, which is a made up name for a made up airfoil. As the story goes, Bernard arrived at his airfoil through experimentation, and gave it that designation because it was the tenth one he tried, and he used a French curve template to draw it (as far as I have read).

    Subject: Spring-like flying in Ohio and welcome Bill
    Good to hear you got to fly on Wednesday Shad. I didn't go but today if there are some breaks in the rain it will be warmer so you never know. On my 65 Continental on cooler days (45F and below) I will get a hesitation or miss as I advance the throttle on takeoff if I do it too quickly or if the engine isn't fully warmed but it sounds like your misses were on your takeoff climb out. Maybe all your engine needed was a good hour long flight. Welcome to the list Bill and I would have to second everything that Jack Phillips said---especially about the homebuilt construction book series by Tony Bingelis available from EAA. My building process involved steps like this: -- here is what I want to build next -- read the plans, think about it, look at plans again. -- think of how/what material I'd like to use (say for windshields---Plexiglass or Lexan ? I had no idea) -- talk to the IA's and A&P's at my local airport who are all older guys who restore old airplanes and know a ton. -- become confused (as usual) and then go to the Tony Bingelis books and see what options/ideas he gives. -- discard old wives tales that are sometimes told at airports or on the list and listen to what Tony said--sound advice. -- think more about how I was going to do this or that and then build it. -- every decision was based on doing things with approved aircraft materials and building practices--no shortcuts but all the while trying to keep the extra stuff like whole house air conditioning, a Bose surround sound system, full cockpit instruments in both cockpits, and starters, generators, ILS, DME, and full IFR panels out of the picture as all of these will add unnecessary weight that you don't need and will degrade your performance. The plane is not a 172--don't overload it or you will essentially end up with a two seat airplane that can only carry one person. --this is not to say that if you fly out of airports requiring encoding altimeters and radios that you shouldn't have them or that if you feel safer not hand-propping your airplane, by all means put in the necessary stuff--just know that unless you run a strong Corvair or 0-200 your performance will suffer. End of sermon. Mike C. in Ohio

    Subject: waiting on parts or refund
    I ordered one of the "My Ex wanted me to quit flying T-shirts" from WW, it has been several months, and still no shirt. When it comes time to rebuilding my Corvair, I might just make a trip to sunny Florida and purchase my parts in person. The cost of a plane ticket will offset the frustrations I have read about the shipping time and no response from supplier. Brian SLC From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of TGSTONE236@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 8:17 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: waiting on parts or refund Normally people selling parts have them in stock,or can give you a time that they will be able to deliver the part that you have paid for in advance as a lot of us have paid WW in advance by PayPal or check. After that you can't find out anything by email to them. Still waiting after almost 10 months,I have asked for a possible ship date or a refund if you aren't going to produce the goods. I have been totally ignored with no reply so I have to assume this is WW's way of doing business. I have even ask by email if certain items are in stock that I would love to have ,No answer. I do not want order some thing else to have my money tied up for another 10 to 12 months, This is really discourging when you are trying to build an engine as per WW's reccomendation using his his proven tested parts. I am to the point now that I wish I had gone Continental and I would not have had a problem with parts or part suppliers.

    Jack=2C I'm very concerned that you have gone such a radical route on your airplane and departed from tradition. Mr. Pietenpol did not have "funny pipe" or closed-cell foam insulation in his day so I don't think you can rightfully call your airplane an Air Camper.

    To be honest, I've been very concerned about this since the day I decided to put a Continental A65 engine on it. And then covering it with polyester, of all things, instead of a muslin bedsheet. Please don't tell anyone. I'd hate for the FAA to pull my Airworthiness Certificate due to false advertising.

    When it comes time to rebuild your Corvair, and you order your parts, call William and let him know when you need them to complete your build. I believe, generally speaking, people that actually are going to use the part s right now to get their engine running take precedence over those who are ordering parts to use in 5 to 10 years. Is that fair? No, not really, but i t gets parts to those who actually need them right now versus those who just want them right now.....

    Subject: Introduction and request
    Hello, My name is Ameet Savant. I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I haven't really followed the Pietenpol as much in the past until I became aware of project for sale in California last week. Since then I have been researching as much as I can. I visited a GN-1 builder/pilot in Iowa. He has been flying since 1978. I inspected his plane and even successfully tried it on for size. I owe a big thank you to Tim Willis who belongs this list for spending a lot of time educating me about the Piet. All I can say is I am hooked! Well that is the introduction and now on to the request. The project for sale is in Gilroy, CA. I wanted to see if anyone near that area would be willing to visit the seller and give me a thumbs up or down as to the condition of the project. Based on the project photos and conversations I've had with some of the experienced people there is a more than higher chance that the project is worth buying. However, I would much rather get a second opinion from some one who can physically be there and is experienced (even little experience is fine) in the Piet. The seller is not the builder and is not able to answer some the questions that my chapter's tech counselor asked. He is trying to find the answers though. Please let me know if someone is able/willing to help out. My phone number is 402 516 4546 and my email address is ameetsavant@yahoo.com. I am hoping to make it to Brodhead this year. Thanks Ameet Savant

    Ameet, I am traveling to the SF Bay Area next week and may have time to drop down to Gilroy to take a peek for you. Certainly I am not the expert that others may be, and would gladly be substituted by someone who is actually flying a Piet that they have built. Besides, I am curious as to why in the world someone would give up a perfectly good project?! You can email me personally at gboothe5@comcast.net. I'll be at BH this year and hope to meet you...

    I've been using Finnish Birch too. My 1/16" came from Aircraft Spruce, the 1/8th all came from Boulter. Boulter is little cheaper. If you go with Aircraft Spruce, make sure they ship it from CA if you're in UT. They tried to ship me capstrip (to CT) for my ribs from CA and I had to ask to have it sent from GA and saved a non-trivial amount on the shipping. -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=232291#232291
