Would it be inappropriate to make the suggestion that you should add
some high quality, 1970's porn music to accompany this photo?
I like the modifications you made, Gary. Great work.

However, I think we would all love to see a photo of any Pieter (even
Gary)
in a speedo or a bikini, during or after a flight, in his/her Piet on
skis
in Minnesota or any other suitable place in JANUARY, on snow.
Yes, any of you nawthen snow-birds may take that as a challenge.

Still trying to decide between the wood gear and cub style.
My question about the wood gear is=2C what is the importance of the lower b
lock aiming at the tailwheel? I don't get it. Couldn't it just be straigh
t? Wouldn't that make things simpler to build? I'm not trying to go again
st tradition or originality=2C but I just don't understand why this is impo
rtant. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks=2C

I tried to make it with the V blocks parallel to the airpalen centerline. I
could get the angles to fit at the block, or at the lower longeron, but not
both. Then I aligned the block correctly and all the angles fit
simultaneously. You can try it however you want, but that is the only
geometry that will fit.

Tom,
I guess you don't HAVE to angle it back...but, then, would it still be a
Piet?

| Subject: | crankcase sealant question A-65 |
I'm having a hard time finding any Loctite 515, as specified in the TCM
SIL99-2B document to seal my crankcase halves (A-65). Since this is
going in a Pietenpol, I guess I don't have to use exactly what they
specify, but I was wondering what others have used with success, besides
the Permatex #3 Aviation/Loctite 515/silk thread to seal their crankcase
halves.

For those Piets with Corvairs.....
Have any of you Corvair powered Pieters remote mounted your oil cooler? If so
where did you put it and how did you mount it/duct air to it? I have some ideas
and concept sketches but I figured I'd see what others are doing before I reinvent
everything.

Mike,
Check out http://www.cpc-world.com for some pictures on where I mounted
mine.
Go to "Engine Construction" -> "Engine Cooling".
It worked well for me.
