Jerry,
I tried to roll her out for pictures and run-up yesterday, and the storm
clouds were rolling in. Had to put all the airplanes away. I can't take
a chance, especially at this stage.
Worked all day on her, re-strung shock cords because the axles were saggin
g. Fabricated and installed on/off/fuel capacity placard on the fuel valve
. Fabricated and installed baggage capacity placard (5 lbs). Applied red
lines to water temp and airspeed gauges. Drilled holes in fuel tank acces
s panel and installed. Re-torqued cylinder head in Model A (do those bolts
stretch? seemed to loosen up from 1-1/2 years ago). Only a couple of thi
ngs left to do, put red line on tach, install throttle "open-closed" marki
ngs, install ELT. The rest is just paperwork for the FAA. I need to get
together some kind of "builder's log". I have a stack of receipts, and ph
otos. This is going to have to do. I am going to call the FAA today to see
what I have to do to get an inspection scheduled. Can't believe I am runn
ing out of things "to do". What markings do I have to put on/near fuel tan
k filler?

Darn, too bad you don't live closer to Cleveland...there's an old worn out Pietenpol
up there somewhere...some grouchy old guy flys it from time to time...smokes
pretty bad I've heard. (I better log off email before the REAL smoke starts
building up....)
Indy looks like a bit of a drive from your area but that's the direction I would
go. Or south to the Cincinnati area.
Actually, there are several in your general part of the country. You'll get to
look at some nice ones in the building AND flying stages.
I need to get to work so don't have time to put some names together for you but
I'm sure you'll hear back. And welcome! You'll find this list and the Piet
community in general to be very friendly and helpful.

Dan,
Be sure that the A will turn 1800 RPM,s or better static, or at least during a
good run down the runway, or you may have a problem getting around the patch.
Douwe,s would only turn 1775 RPM with his prop, a very large problem, but when
I put my prop on his Ford it went to 2000 , the specs were supposed to be the
same. Let us know when you are going to do the flight stuff, I would like to
be around as an observer pro-tem.

We just completed the Really First Official West Coast Pietenpol Gathering
at Frazier Lake Skypark, Ca! (And, Yes, there really is a "Frazier Lake"
seaplane base for all you amphib Pietenpolers!). This event was held in
unison with Frazier Lake's monthly Display Day, making it possible to see
and visit with airplanes and owners of some really cool stuff.
We actually had 3 flying Piets, 2 of which all of you Brodheaders have seen
(#.1554, Pietenpols as far as you can see.).
Special thanks to Mike Groah for helping to organize the event, and extra
special thanks to Charlie Miller and his wonderful wife and family for
hosting EVERYTHING!
Personally great for me, was to have my son Ryan go up with Charlie in
Ryan's first open cockpit ride (#...1108). Ryan is the good looking guy on
the right. He is smiling for obvious reasons. Charlie is the dashing pilot
on the left. Charlie is smiling because he just saved, with masterful
piloting skills, his beautiful Pietenpol from a near catastrophic landing
from a x-wind gust.
To our great enjoyment, and making it a truly sanctioned Pietenpol event, we
were blessed with the ubiquitous JIM MARKLE!! Since WE are neophytes when it
comes to Piet gatherings, and our conversations sometimes stray from the
point of the whole affair, Jim has the notorious special talent of steering
the conversation back to Pietenpols, and how these little airplanes add to
the meaning of life.
I'm sure there is no connection, but after Jim had left, on Sunday morning,
one of the local hanger owners wandered over to our camping area and asked
if anyone had seen his air compressor.seems it was 'lost.' I assured him
that these kinds of events are common at Piet gatherings, and that I was
sure that the air compressor wasn't really 'lost'..
Sorry, I did a poor job of photo essaying everything, and am hoping some of
my fellow builders did a better job!

Mr. Kringles,
My EAA Chapter, #64 has a corvair 110hp that we were going to put in a piet, but
we went with a 0-200 instead. If interested, i'll find out who to talk to and
what they will sell it for and put you in contact with them. Let me know.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: turtle deck rear seat
I'm working on my rear seat and turtle back and I'm having a hard time
making the numbers work. The builders manual says 12" radius, but to get
the numbers to work, I'm at 14". It looks low. My question is, is there
any negative consequences to raising it an inch and a half? It looks better
to me a little higher, and Ive seen some really raised.
Also, I have all of my seat parts cut and I want to install them, but I'm
wondering about seat belt and shoulder harness locations. Front seat lap
belt is no problem, and I've found the discussions on the front seat and
rear seat shoulder harnesses, but I haven't found any pictures of where the
slots for the rear seat lap belt is located.

Hi everyone,
I am needing to order some capstrips and according to the plans it needs to be
1/2"x1/4". I looked on Aircraft Spruce's website and I called them, but they don't
carry any capstrips that size. I would appreciate some input on where I should
order from and how I could get the correct size. Thanks!

It was indeed a grand day at Frazier Lake with all of the West Coast
Pieters!
I was able to meet some of the folks that were "just names on a list", and
see some of the folks that have met over the last year (Gary Booth, Mike and
Vic Groah, Mike Hardaway). It was a pleasure to actually see a Piet fly
(always new they did, just hadn't seen one in the air).
I uploaded the pictures of the event I took to an unlisted Google album, so
browse over an have a look at the fun!

Color me shocked! This can't be true. It's right there on their website:

Call them again and I'm sure you'll get a different answer from a
different rep.

Yes they do.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/capstrip.php
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/capstrip.php>Look at the
table: 1/4" thick, then go over to 1/2" wide, $0.32 per lineal foot, part
number 02-11700. Figure out how many feet you need and enter that in the
quantity, and then specify the length you want each piece cut in the special
instructions box below if you are going to order online. Personally, I would
just call them up and give them that part number for 1/4"x1/2" spruce
capstrip and explain exactly how much you want and how you want it cut to
avoid any errors.
If I recall correctly, 500 feet cut into 6 foot lengths should be
sufficient. Check the archives to be sure, or maybe someone else can chime
in. Don't forget to order your plywood and adhesive.

You may also want 6 feet of 1"x1/2" for the nose block piece. That's
probably more than you'll need.

It's kind of hit-or-miss. 2 years ago I placed an order for capstrip
that took 6 weeks. It might be better or worse, now.

Jack,
#54 is a pic of Scott Liefeld's Piet/GN1 hybrid. Note on the next pic how he
has modified his control cable to be external.that's why the routing thru
the stab. Interestingly, because of this, he has a HUGE baggage compartment
behind the pilot seat!
#59 is just a pic of his aileron cable fairing. I suspect they are
optional. I think he said his wings are cub wings, so the cable routing is
typical for that wing (whichever it was).

It was indeed a grand day at Frazier Lake with all of the West Coast
Pieters!
I was able to meet some of the folks that were "just names on a list", and
see some of the folks that have met over the last year (Gary Booth, Mike and
Vic Groah, Mike Hardaway). It was a pleasure to actually see a Piet fly
(always new they did, just hadn't seen one in the air).
I uploaded the pictures of the event I took to an unlisted Google album, so
browse over an have a look at the fun!

We just completed the Really First Official West Coast Pietenpol Gathering
at Frazier Lake Skypark, Ca! (And, Yes, there really is a "Frazier Lake"
seaplane base for all you amphib Pietenpolers!). This event was held in
unison with Frazier Lake's monthly Display Day, making it possible to see
and visit with airplanes and owners of some really cool stuff.
We actually had 3 flying Piets, 2 of which all of you Brodheaders have seen
(#.1554, Pietenpols as far as you can see.).
Special thanks to Mike Groah for helping to organize the event, and extra
special thanks to Charlie Miller and his wonderful wife and family for
hosting EVERYTHING!
Personally great for me, was to have my son Ryan go up with Charlie in
Ryan's first open cockpit ride (#...1108). Ryan is the good looking guy on
the right. He is smiling for obvious reasons. Charlie is the dashing pilot
on the left. Charlie is smiling because he just saved, with masterful
piloting skills, his beautiful Pietenpol from a near catastrophic landing
from a x-wind gust.
To our great enjoyment, and making it a truly sanctioned Pietenpol event, we
were blessed with the ubiquitous JIM MARKEL!! Since WE are neophytes when it
comes to Piet gatherings, and our conversations sometimes stray from the
point of the whole affair, Jim has the notorious special talent of steering
the conversation back to Pietenpols, and how these little airplanes add to
the meaning of life.
I'm sure there is no connection, but after Jim had left, on Sunday morning,
one of the local hanger owners wandered over to our camping area and asked
if anyone had seen his air compressor.seems it was 'lost.' I assured him
that these kinds of events are common at Piet gatherings, and that I was
sure that the air compressor wasn't really 'lost'..
Sorry, I did a poor job of photo essaying everything, and am hoping some of
my fellow builders did a better job!

I would like to add my thanks to Mike Groah and Charlie Miller for a well r
un event at a fine location. The planes=2C the food and especially the fel
lowship were all superb. As was said=2C it gave a chance to make list name
s real people with good ideas and nice personalities.
I would also like to thank the pilots who brought their planes to the meet.
I hope next year even more will come and there will be a chance to pick u
p even more ideas to make our own projects better. Maybe some day Mike and
I will have our plane there as well. (who knows=2C it may get done some d
ay) If I put in enough more money and time I may even get to own 41% and e
ven get a ride.
Set aside some time for the west coast meet next year. Maybe Jim can come
back and get some air tools to go with the compressor. Thanks to all that
came and made the meet a success.

Today was jackpot day! :o In the mail today, my plans came from Don Pietenpol,
and my DVD from Mike Cuy came. Buster Brown brought the last of the books I
had been waiting to get here from EAA. Like Christmas in June. :D :D :D
Now all I need is an A&P job or some kind of job that will produce enough income
to pay bills, and buy wood. :o I put Mike's DVD in the computer (I have
Windows Vista on this one) and it started. It doesn't want to fast forward, or
skip ahead when I ask it to. It will pause when I ask it to, so hopefully, I
won't be limited to the DVD player to watch it. Another bonus for the day!

All great to hear but Christmas comes in July where we all get to see, meet and
be Santa. While you're at it be sure to join the BPA docs news letter is well
worth the read and certainly the publication I look forward to and read immediately.

Well, this evening after work the weather was cooperative, and I was able
to roll out my finished Piet and take some photos, and also run the Model
A for about an hour. How sweet it was............one shot of prime.......
..... pulled the prop through four blades with the mags off......mags on..
..................second pull she fired up. What a nice sound........ pock
et-a-pocket-a-pockat-a. The neighbors started to show up as soon as she fi
red. Got some help from the old-timer across the taxiway who lives with hi

ears to adjust the mixture screws. Only one small oil drip inside the cow

I thought about the sign and standing on the corner deal, but I have difficulty
looking despondent enough to get people to give me money or poplar. I'm getting
so desperate to build, I'm even considering a possibility of going back to
driving a truck. I swore when I got back from Iraq, I'd never drive a truck
in the states again.

Beautiful! Even though the prop shape is new technology, it makes everything look
even more like an Antique Classic. It is definitely a Classic. The panels
are beautiful, as well as all the other little touches you have done. How much
work is it going to be to keep the brass shiny on the radiator? I had decided
shortly after I ordered my plans, I had to have the big wheels. Thought
I wanted spokes, but I'm not sure after seeing your photos. It really looks good
now. I'm definitely envious.

Here's mine. The back is 7 1/2" tall and oval shaped
to get the transition from TB to fuse sides more in
line. The harness exit is even with my shoulders.

My question is, is there any negative consequences to raising it an inch and

raised.

Dan, it is magnificent. See my more detailed rant sent personally to you and to
my friends-- almost all of whom are NOT aviators, but many of whom have designed
or built other things. BTW, what is all that neat polished stuff on the
port side of the engine?

Well, this evening after work the weather was cooperative, and I was able to roll
out my finished Piet and take some photos, and also run the Model A for about
an hour. How sweet it was............one shot of prime............ pulled the
prop through four blades with the mags off......mags on....................second
pull she fired up. What a nice sound........ pocket-a-pocket-a-pockat-a.
The neighbors started to show up as soon as she fired. Got some help from the
old-timer across the taxiway who lives with his son and is a Model A car owner.
He helped me immensely by using just his ears to adjust the mixture screws.
Only one small oil drip inside the cowl. Couldn't be happier. Brodhead or bust!!!!

Ryan, are you telling me the scimitar shape of the prop is old technology like
the Pietenpol? As Snoopy would say: "Aughhhhhh!" I thought there were at least
40 or 45 years difference between the scimitar prop shape technology and the
Pietenpol design technology. History was never my strong point.
