    Subject: Final reminder - OH Wings & Wheels Fly-In this weekend
    OK, I'm going to annoy everybody one last time with this announcement - come on by, it's going to be a great Fly-In! If you are working on a Corvair conversion, bring your case for Roy to spec. AA 82 is having it's 4th Annual "WINGS AND WHEELS FLY-IN" on Saturday and Sunday, June 5 & 6th at Barber Airport (2D1). The field is located approximately three miles north of Alliance, Ohio on State Route 225. There will be aircraft with automotive and alternative engines - CORVAIRS AND VOLKSWAGENS on display. Ther will be a pancake breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from 7 till 11 AM with lunch on Saturday from noon till 2 PM. This event is open to the public. There will be homebuilt aircraft ( KR-2S's, Pietenpols, an Afford-a- Plane), PRA #19 (Rotorcraft Chapter) will have trikes and a demonstrator, and Vintage and Antique aircraft (Waco 9, Fleet, Taylorcrafts) on the field. There will be a fleet of some nicely restored Corvair cars on display. There will be several Corvair engines and a "Roy's Garage" Fifth Bearing on display for those who are interested in using a Corvair in their project. Roy Szarafinski of Roy's Garage will be present to answer questions about his bearing and will gladly check your engine cases for proper tolerances before you start an engine rebuild.

    Subject: W & B with prop on NX929DH
    From: helspersew@aol.com
    Last night I finally had a chance to put the prop on and do a quicky weigh ing. With me as pilot, the CG is too far aft of range by only .3". I can fix this with just a little weight up front. I am going to calculate how much I will need up there in order for my 170 lb. son to fly it, then put that lead up front and leave it till next winter. Man does this airplane ever look cool with that scimitar prop!!!! If I do say so myself. Photos to come in a few days!!! Dan Helsper Poplar Grove, IL.

    Can't you just move your wing back an inch or so? I waited until the airplane was all assembled to make my final front braces. My initial W/B was a lot worse than yours. Can't wait to see it at Brodhead! Ben Charvet On 6/4/2010 7:15 AM, helspersew@aol.com wrote: > Last night I finally had a chance to put the prop on and do a quicky > weighing.

    Thanks Glider. - I figured there were no hard numbers on Pietenpol cable tensions, but I tho ught I would ask just in case someone took the time to put a meter on their s as reference.- I'll go ahead and tension as needed for the right balanc e between no sag and too tight. (common sense) - It's all temporary anyway for now...it all comes apart for varnish/fabric, etc. - -

    Hi Dan, congratulations! I'll be curious, how much does-your Piet-weigh? - Since-we both are-purists, we should know that the F&GM plans says "The center struts lean back one-half inch", but you have the BHP lost papers, so-don't listen to me :-) Saludos! - Santiago=0A=0A=0A

    Do you think Bernard built every one of his "pure" Pietenpols (who could make a purer one them him?) with the cabanes vertical? I seriously doubt it.

    Santiago is correct...on the EAA reprint, check Figure 1 on page 7. There's a note above the side view drawing of the airplane that says: "Note: The center struts lean back one-half inch, and are cross-braced on the front, rear, and right sides only". But then...you didn't go the cross-bracing route either....hmm...how to reconcile this.... ;) Ryan do not archive On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 11:59 AM, <helspersew@aol.com> wrote: > Oh my gosh........you mean to tell me, in my efforts for purity, I let > this one get past me???
