I'VE SAT HERE READING ALL OF YOUR EMAILS ON GOING TO THE "MECCA" OF
PIETENPOLS .I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO GET THERE, PARK THE MOTOR HOME
AND BE READY FOR THE CHANCE TO MEET YOU THAT I'VE GROWN TO RECOGNIZE ON THE
LIST AND MATCH NAMES TO FACES. I'LL BE PULLING OUT FROM WILMINGTON NC AT
NOON ON MY WAY. IF ALL GOES WELL I WILL SEE YOU THERE.

Ryan,
How did you guess? Olson is all of a 12 minute drive from the house, so
it was the logical choice.
Why do you ask?

Go to the brown arch at the main entrance to the flightline. That is
where we will be parked.
Wear a nametag and don't be shy about introducing yourself.

Gents:
Sorry if I missed an earlier thread.
I'll be at Airventure Tuesday and Wednesday July 28 & 29. I'm
flying Southwest via Midway and car rental for the final nine yards.
Will you guys be meeting anywhere at Whitman during those two days?
I'd surly like to stick out my paw, say "hi", and try out a few of my
new lines of aviator's lies and bullshit.
Looking forward to returning to Mecca after five years in Purgatory!

Hello to all. You do not know me, but I know most of you from all of the post to
the board over the last 10 years. It is the high light of my day to get home from
work to find out what has been going on in the Pietenpol world. I have monitored
this list since before Mike C built his blue plane, Corkey started his first one,
or Steve E flew from Utah. I purchased a partial built plane from Jim Markel.
Avery year at this time I dream of flying to Brodhead, but my wife and I have our
anniversary during the meet. This year I have finally got the OK to go.I will not
be in a Pietenpol but will be flying a blue and white 172 Cessna with my 25
year old son, Cody. We should be there on Wednesday after noon. Our plan is to
stay through the meet and heed to Oshkosh on Sunday.I will enjoy getting to put
a
face with all of the good people on the list. Thank you for allowing me to follow
along on all of you building adventures. Until we meet, I hope you have clear
sky, smooth air, and steady tail winds.

I'll relate my experience with fuel shutoff valves (on-off). Corky
had a genuine Cessna part on the airplane when I got it. Quarter-
turn, plug style.
Image at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/repairs/P1080006.JPG
I made the mistake of dismantling it for cleaning, which was a good
thing because water had taken its toll on the steel spring over time,
but the bad part was that it took a real trick to get it back together
again. But the bottom line is that despite overhauling it, it weeped
from the stem and there are blue fuel stains on the front cockpit
floor to show that. I needed to change it but didn't want a
comparable Cessna part... $480!!!
Next attempt was a quarter-turn ball valve from Lowe's, with male NPT
threads on one end and female on the other. Kind of a polished or
chrome finish. I found it in the compressed air accessory section
and it seemed to be no different from similar valves that
were rated water-oil-gas and this is a very low pressure application.
Price was right. Valve started leaking after about 30-40 hours.
Latest attempt uses the brass body 1/4-turn ball valve that both
Wicks and Aircraft Spruce offer. It has female NPT threads both ends
and I modified the handle by adding a shaped tab to allow the same
fuel shutoff cable to act on the handle with proper leverage because
the geometry was different from the Cessna valve. So far, so good.
The valve was probably ten bucks and is a very common configuration
for ball valves but I haven't seen any that small at my local hardware
stores.

Dan,
We stopped down at Olson on Saturday for the first time, and when we
introduced ourselves to John and told him we were building a Pietenpol
he said there was someone bringing one down after Oshkosh. He said it
was being flown from CA to Oshkosh to be delivered to the buyer, and
then was coming to Olson. Your name escaped him at that moment, so we
mentioned it, and he said yep, that was it.

Subject: | opinions on ebay motorcycle wheels? |
Anyone with motorcycle wheel experience care to offer an opinion on these
dirt bike wheels?
Think they'd be strong enough to handle the side loads? Any thoughts on
attaching brakes? Machining them for a bigger axle? Or could keep the
existing bearings with a solid axle?
I've emailed to ask hub width and axle diameter but haven't heard back yet.
Looks like the hub width is maybe 3 inches?

Subject: | Finally, work space! |
We are very happy to say that we have finally found somewhere we can put our
Piet project! We will be renting the main level of a 125 year old barn at
Olson Airport (private, LL53). Lot's of space, and our Piet will now be 1
hour from our place instead of 2.5. We haven't made much actual build
progress this year, but I think overall we have made the most progress this
year. We purchased Del Magsam's project, so we have the basic fuse and wing
complete (although we will be cutting the wing in half). We have, and will
shortly be receiving, many engine parts. And we now have space where we can
build our Piet, that we can actually get to often!

Woohoo!! Can't wait to see everyone at Brodhead (rain or shine).
