Dig away. My information is at least ten years old, from when TEAM still
owned it (it may even have been ISON at that point) and one of our
neighbors was the local dealer. If JDT has gone to spruce, or something
else, it would not surprise me.

The insides of all the cowlings on 41CC were left in natural
aluminum. I sort of wish that the cockpit cowlings were at
least primed inside because they are visible. However, Corky
had the wonderful presence of mind to have everyone who helped
him on the airplane sign their names inside the engine top cowling
using a black marker. Since I've owned the airplane, I've had
several others add their names inside the cowling... like Sal
Hernandez, welder extraordinaire who did all of the landing gear
and cabane strut repairs. I need to have engine guru Jeff Scott
sign it, and tech counselor Norris Warner, and sheet metal
maestro Ed Talamantez, and Charlie, and... and... so many more!
The inside of that cowling will carry a story with it for a
long time.

| Subject: | Doug Fir as a substitute |
Not sure where you got that info, Mark.
I have read that over the years BHP used wood that was available to him,
including Hemlock when Spruce wasn't available, but I do not recall
reading that he built his last plane out of Douglas Fir (not that
there's anything wrong with that).
If you re-read Dan Helsper's post, he said that he closely inspected The
Last Original, and that the fuselage longerons were Spruce (I believe
his point was that the longerons were only 7/8" x 7/8" rather than 1" x
1" per plans). There was no mention of Douglas Fir.

You're actually writing your math calculations on the parts?
I guess you'll never misplace them. Of course, you won't be able to
refer to them either, without removing the fabric.
Your plane will definitely be one of a kind.

As I recall, one of the F4U Corsairs on the old Black Sheep Squadron
television show had an arrow pointing forward on one wing. 'spect this
was to remind him which way to point the thing although with that many
horses up front there probably wasn't much choice. Won't have that
problem on the Corvair powered Piet.
By the way, thanks for all the good advice a couple of weeks ago. I was
able to meet up with the Painters at Mojave airport and get some in-hanger

check ride to Christopher Reeves among many others. Now how would you
like to be the one who could say "I taught Superman how to fly?" Attached
photo is of Mr. Painter, my son Matthew, and myself discovering just how
hard it is to fit into the main "pit."

Yes Bill, the wing tip was for laughs.... My "important" calculations are o

on the part...so to speak.- I wonder if anyone has wrapped up a tool or
some other object in their plane while covering?

I am glad I am not the only one who does that.- I have written notes as t
o who built what part, where it was built, date, etc on various parts (of m
y Jungster 1, I am building).- Imagine how cool that would if the airplan
e is around in 50-60+ years, and a great grandson or who ever sees it while
rebuilding it see's that note, it kind of adds a little history to the pla
ne.- An unorthodox personal diary.

| Subject: | Re: Doug Fir as a substitute |
My public apologies to Owen for doubting him. I did some searching on
the ETLB forums where the Mini-Max guys hang out, and it turns out
that those kits have been using some mix of spruce, douglas fir, and
"northern" white pine for a number of years. I couldn't find
difinitive answers on what was pine, and what was spruce, though.
I guess I'll have to dig my fin kit out and have a closer look!
I need to check the wood guides to compare the specs on the white pine.
Sorry to stray off topic.

| Subject: | making notes on your parts as you build your airplane |
I wrote some things relating to Michael Feldman's Whady'a Know radio show http://www.notmuch.com/ on some parts of my wing when building on Saturday mornings
because (as it turned out) that while I was building I found out that the Michael
Feldman show originates from the town of Madison, Wisconsin not
too far from Brodhead and not too far from good friends and Piper J-3 Cub owners
John, Susan, and Rachel Hofmann. Feldman was always joking about the
"land of cheese" and cheese curds and how much Wisconsoner's hate Minnesotian's
or whatever you call them. I was HOOKED on that radio show and thankfully
it was preceded by Car Talk http://www.cartalk.com/ which is a WHOLE nuther favorite radio show of mine. Ray and Tom are just great.
I digress as usual.

I myself put one of those arrows on the pilot's seat, just so I

No problem. I usually doubt me myself.

| Subject: | A sad conversation |
Group, Today I made the decision to call the original builder of my Jungste
r 1 project to let him know I was still actively working on it.- When I c
alled I got the dreaded response I was fearing, "He passed away 2 years ago
", his widdow said.- I had not talked to him since I bought the project 9
years ago.- As fate will have it, we never get things done on the time l
ine we think we will.- She was glad to talk with me and said she remember
s me coming down to look at it and later coming down to buy it and take it
home.- She said she would like some pictures of it when I get it done.-
I told her I would keep at it, and fly it down so she could see it when I
get it done.- It will be great to (hopefully)-let her see a piece of he
r husband's work, break the surley bonds of earth, as did his soul 2 years
ago.- Now I feel as if he is looking down on every little thing I do on t
he construction of "His" Jungster 1.- If any of you have bought unfinnish
ed
projects, make sure to contact the original builder sooner than later, or
it might be too late as was the case for me.

Dale used a 1" piece of 3M Scotchbrite pad attached to a wooden dowel in the
drillpress. The 1" circles are overlapped 1/4". I don't know how long it
took but Dale reports the job as being "tedious".

Two days ago I had a conversation with an insurance broker associated
with EAA who was referred to me by the editor of the Experimenter and
Sport magazines.
One of my many questions was about insuring a Corvair powered Pietenpol
here in Alaska. He advised against it, and informed me there were some
states in the U.S. where flying a Pietenpol with a Corvair engine is not
covered by any insurance.
I would advise anyone who expects to insure their aircraft to check on
this first.
My plans won't change, to install and build a Wynne Corvair because I
can't get insurance either way if it is certified as an ELSA tailwheel
here in Alaska. If I build it and certify it as a homebuilt Experimental
amateur built, I may be able to get insurance if I hang a certified
engine on it. But I don't see the purpose in that because I want to
tweak everything to fly on skis and wheels and want to do the work
myself.
Just some thoughts.

Procceed Cautiously! Follow Wynne's mannual, and make sure to have the
crank magnafluxed, nitrided, and make sure the journals are properly,
and generously, radioused. Corvairs do work good, but only if built
Well. Feel free to contact me off list for info, or advise. I am no
expert, but have learned a few cold had facts about corvairs, and will
let you know my experiances with failures, and succeseses. I flew our
piet/ vair for about 3 hrs today and had a blast!
