Hey Jim
That's great info. Appreciate it.
What kind of brake setup did your first setup have? Any photos of your
landing gear or the whole airplane on the Internet? I looked on
westcoastpiet.com but didn't see you.

Drum brakes on both iterations, the first was straight motorcycle
(pictured), the replacements have a drum with an inch larger diameter.
Both are adequate for turning, neither could hold a full power run up
(but with the Ford that's unnecessary).

Thats a sweet setup Gary. Never thought of that. I might be able
to make something like that work.
For tyhe dirt bike wheels I'm looking at, I've emailed the seller
to ask the axle diameter but I haven't heard back. Also trying to figure
out how wide the spoke is, hub to hub.
Speaking of brakes, there is a flange with four holes on one side.
You can see it in the attached photo

A solid axle is being used by many, but you did not say how big

Thanks Gary. That's a beautiful setup you have. I have no
machining skills or tools so I'm trying to figure out a way to do it as
simply as possible with the split axle gear.
I wonder if anyone uses solid axles? Heavier, sure, but would it
hold up. On a motorcycle it's supported on both ends by the fork.

The wheels you are showing have a very interesting spoke attach

Clear dope, but the final coat has about one ounce of tan added to a gallon
of clear. It held up to the elements for 20 years, but the wing now needs

I have an A75 in my Baby Ace with Slicks, and It will start 99% of the time
on the first blade with both mags hot.- I think as Peter's article sugge
sts, you only need to set the switch on Left if you have just one impulse m
ag on the left side.- That is the setup on my A-65 I'm putting in my Piet
, and I'll be starting it for the first time in a week or so.- A pretty e
xciting time in the build!
I'm curious, did you have any problems with kickbacks with your A-65 withou
t impulse?

Here are some more vids from this evening at Brodhead. I'm processing

Hi Jeff,
Nice to meet you! I don't suppose you recorded all of
Dick Navratil's talk as well, did you? I should have taken notes. :P
Have a good night,

All,
It's too soon to try to put into words what I saw and learned in the last 3
days! For those who could not make it, my deepest sympathies and my sincere
wishes that you get to go sometime in the future.
Here are just a few of the many, many images I took:
(1) Greg Cardinal was most gracious in "asking" me if I wanted a ride
Thursday evening. Who would not want to be the pilot behind those goggles!!!
"Thanks Greg!!!" If some of you have not been in an open cockpit (and
especially a Piet), it was everything I dreamed it would be.
(2) My camera is cheap and without a decent operator, but if you are very
careful, you may count about 16 or 17 Piets in image #2.
(3) Actually, I am quite surprised by "Brodhead 099." It just goes to the
old saying about the blind squirrel finding a nut once in awhile.
Beyond the really cool airplanes, the people are The Best. "THANK YOU," to
all of you builder/owner/pilots who took time to fly there (sometimes a
quite considerable amount of time), and for your patient replies to the
incredible amount of questions that you got bombarded with.

Hey Ryan,
Good meeting you, too.
Nope, I really screwed up and didn't get that on video. It was an
excellent talk! I actually missed the first part of it, but my plane
partner and his wife took notes. Well, life ain't perfetc...

Here's the last videos for tonight. They include Ken Perkins, Don
Emch, Jack Phillips, Kurt Shipman, and Chris Price in his Heath.
There may be others, but I'm fading fast, so apologies if I missed
someone. As time allows (I'll be on the road to OSH, though) tomorrow
I will upload the videos from earlier today, which will include the
arrival of all these guys, plus a little of Lowell Frank (Pieti
Lowell) and another Piet puttering around in the early morning.

Sure is lonely with everybody gone to Brodhead and Oshkosh!
I'll be starting up the new A75 pretty soon and need to check
on switch setting.- The 65 didn't have impulse on either mag
and the 75, with new Slicks, has it on both.- I've heard that
the mag switch should be set to "Left" for starting.- I've always
set it to "Both".- Any comments on procedure?
Thanks.

Wow Jeff! That's the best news I've had today! Thanks for taking the trouble
to get that on tape.
We actually were spending a special day with my in-laws today for my mother
in law's 80th birthday. I am ashamed to admit that during the festivities I
was wondering how that lecture/workshop was going! :o\ Man, I got a one
track mind...
Muchly appreciated!
