I prefer that much excitement as a spectator rather than crew. Been there.

Does it count if you're pouring oil onto your exhaust system instead of inside
it?

Now Mike Cuy and Chuck Gantzer arent the only ones who can smoke em. I have added
a smoke system to my Pietenpol and after being disappointed with the initial
results, I have tweaked the installation with a larger oil supply line and
now have outstanding smoke.
I used a 3.5 gallon outboard motor fuel tank which is positioned on the floor between
the front rudder pedals. When flying passengers I will simply remove the
tank (it is held in place with a bungee cord), disconnect the quick-disconnect
on the outboard motor fuel line and get the tank out of the way. When I want
to smoke em, I fill the tank with used automatic transmission fluid (cost
nothing, as opposed to the real smoke oil, Texaco Canopus 13, that Mike Cuy uses
for $582 a 55 gallon drum, or the baby oil that Chuck favors at an even higher
price). Then I reposition the tank on the floor board, stretch the bungee
cord around to hold it in place, reconnect the tanks quick disconnect and give
the primer bulb a couple of squeezes to prime the smoke oil into the line.
The system is powered by an automobile windshield washer pump mounted on the firewall,
with a momentary push button on the instrument panel to energize the pump.
From the pump, I ran a line that uses about 12 of black rubber hose (which
came with the pump) and then transitions to stainless steel tubing that runs
to a port welded into the exhaust stack of # 1 cylinder.
I just did a quick test of it this morning before the predicted storms roll in,
but will do a more extensive test next week, with pictures and video. I want
to find out just how much smoke 3.5 gallons of transmission fluid can make.
Maybe I need to put the same system on my RV-4

They didn't remove the original paint. They sanded it "with some 220-grit sandpaper......very
gently. (italics theirs). Just a few light swipes to take off
the gloss." (From April 2010 Kitplanes article: The Dawn Patrol)
This is not an ad for Kitplanes, but I have found the magazine fills in some gaps
that the EAA magazines don't cover. I wouldn't do without either magazine,
and I've not started building yet. Lots of good ideas. You can buy it in hardcopy,
or in an e-zine version. I bought both versions, but not sure whether
I'll renew the e-zine version. I got the e-zine version, because I'm on their
mailing list, and they send out a "teaser" when the e-zine version is available,
and one time I wanted to read an article before the hard copy arrived, so
I bought the e-zine version. The magazine hard copy usually arrives within a
week of when the e-zine does. they charge about the same for the e-zine version
as the hard copy version, and I like having the hard copy for reference.[/i]

I am in the process of making up a test panel of my own using Sherwin Williams
Super Paint. One question I have though is do most people using this method use
the first coat of Poly Brush or let the Latex seal and fill the cloth? I am
going to try one side of my test panel with polybrush and the other bare fabric
only glued on with polytak. My main purpose is to make sure the fabric and colors
won't be damaged by the sun. It seems a very interesting experiment.

Well boys, after 10 years, I can say that I can see the light at the end
of the tunnel. This afternoon, I put the call out for all available hands
in the neighborhood to help me put the wing back on. I got ten people to
help me, and it was a piece of cake after a little fudging and persuading
. Got all the bolts back in like they should be and the wing and struts ba
ck in place. Boy is it ever a good feeling to stand back and look at somet
hing that actually looks like an airplane. Tomorrow I am on to re-installi
ng all the brace cables, ailerons, aileron control cables, fuel tank, fuel
lines, access panels, etc. With any luck I want to taxi on Monday. Hope
the weather holds out!!
So keep on plugging and slugging through all the small stuff. I know at ti
mes it seems never ending, but at some point it will all come together!!

Dan that is a work of art. She's a beaut. I like the assist step for the rear pit.
I've got to do that too. I'm 64 and pretty arthritic in the hips. I can't
get in without something.
I sure hope you get to fly to Brodhead.

Beautiful, as expected Dan. Looks like the same paint job Jimmy Dean has on
his A powered Pietenpol just south of Sanford NC. I'm looking forard to
seeing it in less than two months at Brodhead.

Hey everyone, I just can't contain my secret anymore - Dan's secret
paint scheme is.... yellow and black!
Aw, shucks, he beat me to it. And I didn't make a dime from blackmail
or selling state secrets.
;-)
Beautiful work, Dan. You should be proud. What does she weigh in at?
Dan

The big wheels and straight axle really give it that Classic look. Makes one think
the airplane was built in the '30's and recently restored. Really beautiful
Dan. Good luck with the taxi testing on Monday. I hope the one I build looks
that good.
