I'm uploading as time allows. Just got back from the field filming
the "mass exodus" of a dozen or so Piets heading to OSH. I'll upload
as time allows, but we're hitting the road soon for OSH and AFAIK, I
won't have internet access up there.

Jeff thanks for the videos. Looks like everyone is having fun. I have to go to
the shop and build more ribs. Watching those videos started a fire within to get
my Pietenpol flying.

Jeff; really appreciate the videos! I have heard Brits
pronounce "Grosvenor" as "grove-nuh", but then again
they also say "wuh-stuh" for Worcestershire ;o)

I may have had one or two times when the prop kicked back
on me a little while trying to hand-prop my A65 with no
impule couplers, but it seemed to only happen when the
engine was flooded. In the early days of my ownership of
the airplane, I was not well versed on starting the A65
with Stromberg carb when the engine is warm, and I often
flooded it. Now that I know how to handle warm starts, I
haven't had a flooded engine or prop kickback since I
don't remember when.
I have noticed, in the very limited amount that I've
turned the A75 while fitting the prop, etc., that it is a
LOT stiffer than the 65 was. Break-in should improve
that a lot but it seems like it will take a bit more arm
power to flip this new prop than it did the old one. The
compression ratio is exactly the same as on the 65 so I
know it's the new pistons, rings, and cylinder hone job
as well as all the new, tight-fitting components.

Jim; how did you determine that your wings need to be
recovered? Maule fabric tester, visual inspection, or
just your personal preference to redo them?
Also, that sure is beautiful workmanship and a great
choice of finishes for visual impact. I assume you are
running an inline Ford on the airplane, and is that the
radiator hanging out the bottom of the cowling?
Thanks.

Visual. Finish is cracking in the middle of the bays, probably laid it on
too thick in 1986. The underlying fabric still appears okay.
The Ford is an in-line 1980 Fiesta. On my first flight the engine overheated
and the coolant boiled out, spraying green slime all over me. I quickly
sought a landing and the engine quit on short final. Landing was smooth (and
quiet). Not wanting too many more such adventures, I spent the next couple
of weeks investigating the problem, flew dozens of in the pattern flights
with and without the cowling, put in various baffles, experimented with
small fans, and even added tabs to the rear of the propeller in an effort to
get more air through the radiator. I finally concluded that the original
radiator was large enough but that the flat front of the cowling was causing
air that hit it to move sideways, forcing some of the air that would have
gone through the radiator to be swept across it instead. Adding a small
radiator down where some air blows through it unimpeded solved the problem
and the temperatures have been steady ever since.
Jim

My 4 hours on Friday was better than none!
I uploaded a Ford Pietenpol with an Aircooled Starter of unknown vintage.
A very good time!

| Subject: | Piet issue at Wittman Field???? |
Just saw this on the EAA site. Anyone have any details?:
36L is currently closed ...
I was watching on the webcam, but missed the incident...
Radio report .... pietenpol main gear folded on touchdown ... haven't moved the
aircraft as of 11:24am
Update at 11:43am... just saw the pientenpol being towed by the tail off the runway.
36L should reopen soon. Hmmm.... did the tailwheel collapse, instead of
the main? Mains looked fine on the webcam.

Hi I am Don's wife:-)
I saw this so had to call my hubby to see if everybody was ok. He said it was
Lowell Frank, but he is fine. I guess there was a nasty crosswind.

My family and I made our first trip to Brodhead this weekend and had a great time.
There is no way I can begin to capture the magic of the event, but I have
put together a video to share some of what we saw. There was so much more to
Brodhead... great people, great scenery, great conversation... oh well, this
is the best I can do. We had such a great time we are already looking forward
to next year. Time to get busy on my project.
I had to break my video in two parts because You Tube only allows 10 minute clips.
It is pretty "home video'ish" with my wife and son taking center stage for
much of the footage, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I accidentally put the
same photo in the sequence twice... can you tell which one? It just happens
to be what I consider to be one of the nicest airplanes I saw all weekend... but
they were all very nice. I hope mine is worthy of sharing the same company
in a few years.
Thanks to Chapter 431 and all who attended for making it such a memorable event.
Enjoy!

Did anyone get that great landing that closed 36L for an hour ?
My right bungee gave way and folded the right wheel just enough to clip my Hamelton,
I had the Left tire planted solid on that big red circle and that pesky
twister snuck under the left wing, I closed everything down jumped out picked
up the right wing, the wheel jumped back in place.
Met a bunch of feds very fast and there you have it an " IN- CENT DENT "

Lowell,
Glad to hear you're OK. Hopefully the cranks and prop are too.
