| Subject: | the mystery of the degrading tachometer reading |
Sounds like an Agatha Cristie novel, I know.
Last fall I measured the prop RPM on N8031 with a digital IR tach reader
doo-hickey and determined that the difference between the mechanical
tach and the actual rpm of the prop was 11% low. That is, when the
mechanical tach reads 1000RPM, the prop is actually spinning at 1100RPM.
I did the same test yesterday, and discovered that it's now about 16%
low: 1000RPM on the mechanical and 1160RPM on the prop.
The former owner said that at one point the tach pegged during operation
and he discovered oil had seeped up the tach cable from the motor and
entered the tachometer. He cleaned it up and called it good (not sure
if he had it recalibrated or not...).
It sounds like something else is going on here. Anyone have any ideas
and suggested solutions? Should I buy a new tach or have this one
overhauled? Anyone know of a good instrument overhaul shop?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
Check the tach cable, if you haven't already. I had a tach cable break on
N12939. After replacement, the tach reads higher. I changed nothing but the
cable.

Hey Shad,
I'm still planning on showing up Friday evening, with one of the kiddos. I just
might take you up on that offer to use a tent and air mattress or hangar floor
or whatever. I talked to Frank P. and he said he still doesn't have the Lambert
back up and running, so he probably won't be making it.
I'm looking forward to it! Who else is coming? Driving or flying?

Just a guess here, but I'm thinking that the Ohio Piet Gathering might be in Ohio.
:)
Seriously, though, try using the List archives, and the search utility. I just
typed in "Ohio", and was able to quickly find a previous post from Shad, listing
the following:
Location is OH71, Centerburg Ohio (25 miles North of Columbus),
BC

True, to get started on your ribs do some dumpster diving at some
construction sites. Just need a flat piece of 3/4" plywood (maybe 6' x 2')
and scrap pine blocks to make a rib building jig. Get a cheap used table saw
if you don't have one to rip capstrip from some good douglas fir or white
pine from the lumber yard (some have used Cedar for rib capstrip). You will
need to cough up the dough for the T-88 epoxy (or equivalent quality glue)
and good quality 1/16" AC or marine plywood. Would be cool to convert some
timbers from an old barn into a flying aircraft,

When I think about some of the landings I made when I was learning long ago
for my Private license I am very glad I was in a rented Cessna 150 with that
one piece spring steel gear rather than any aircraft I had built.
I instructed for three years long ago (including in Super Cubs and
Decathlons) I agree that you should at least get through solo in good
trainer aircraft first and add the taildragger complications later.

Shad,
Ed and I are still planning to arrive in our Piets before dark Friday.
Weather permitting we will leave Hales Landing Thursday morning for Hook
field and the Aeronca fly-in, than Friday on to OH71. Don't belive we will
be able to bring any food, but will be happy to add to the donation jar.
Looking forward to the trip.

Bring a dish if you can, and I will put out a voulentary donnation jar, put

To Don Emch, Don't worry about bringing a tent I told you before (I think),
that you are welcome to my tent and air mattress, since you will have a
co-pilot with you. I also have a couple sets of tie downs for those who
don't have any, if you plan on camping over night you are welcome to them.
If I have room, I might be able to get 1 or 2 additional piets in my
hanger, who ever brings the better beer gets 1st dibs. If by chance we get
a shower overnight

You are right John. Red Stewart field Waynesville OH is a really neat place. If
I lived anywhere near south west Ohio it would be my choice for a place to learn
to fly. I was talking to an instructor there who told me he went to Ohio University
(they have one of those airline pilot programs) and got all his pilot
licenses, than went to Stewart and learned to fly.

There's no need to drive trucks.
If you have a set of plans and a lot of determination, you're
on your way. It's very simple to cruise the sawmills, used
building materials yards, second-hand lumber yards, and just
"sniff the air" to find lumber that you can use to start building
your Pietenpol airframe. Some big rough beams, or perhaps an
old building that is being torn down, or a barn on a farm- all you
need are a couple of dry, fairly straight, rough timbers to yield
all the straight-grain lumber you'll need to build your airframe, ribs,
tail feathers, and miscellaneous structure. Once you run them
through a planer or jointer and then rip them to final dimension
on the table saw, you'll have more building stock than you need
and you will have smelled some of the most wonderful wood smells
that God has placed on this earth. All you'll need after that is a
little bit of glue and plenty of time in the shop and it will
start to come together. I'll bet you can scrounge all your wood
for a few bucks, or for the price of your sweat to haul off some
old wooden timbers. From there, it's all just fun and desire to
pull dimensioned structural shapes from big rough timbers.
I love building with wood!

Hi Skip,
When I was living in Indy, I had several friends who would go there to
fly Cubs. I have never been there but it sounds like a neat place. Then
again, at HXF, where I am based, we have 20 Cubs on the field so that is
pretty neat as well.

Dan,
Thanks for the info. The AAA's definition of
"antique" hombuilt is broader than I suspected
(they do say "antique type"). Flybaby,
Starduster, Marquart Charger, Hatz? The more the
merrier, but calling a Hatz an antique makes me
feel really old! :-(

Here is an update from Jake Shultz and his Rotec-powered, steel tube
Piet. I know there was some discussion about his wicker sears
recently, and thought everyone might like to see some progress pics.

I agree with the previous posts. Make getting your license and building an airplane
2 different projects.
I have a lot of hours in a lot of different airplanes. Most things about flying
are the same and when you have the basics well ingrained in your brain you will
find it easier to concentrate on the differences that each airplane presents.
I have checked out in at least 4 different tail wheel airplanes from Maul
to Aeronca and probably twice that many tri-gear including complex, high performance
and retractable. Each new airplane becomes a little easier and each new
airplane that I have flown has made me a better pilot.
Once you get your license you will probably find a lot of recreational pilots that
will take you along and let you fly just to show off their airplane. There
are now a lot of cool sport aircraft out there to try. Once you have flown
some of these sleek carbon fiber craft you will appreciate the wooden open cockpit,
low and slow that much more.

Shad,
My dad and I will be stopping in on Saturday. We will bring some cash for
the donation jar and some food if I have time to get something together.
Thanks for organizing this,
Jason Holmes

Well, the hanger addition is done, the clean up is in progress, and hopfully
the annual will be done on the piet for the 19th. I am looking forward to
seeing all of you that can make it. I am planning the food purchase (hot
dogs, buns etc) so cime in here if you plan on attending. Bring a dish if
you can, and I will put out a voulentary donnation jar, put in if you want
to, it will help us keep this thing going for future gatherings, and keep me
from going broke (port a johns food cost etc etc). To Don Emch, Don't worry
about bringing a tent I told you before (I think), that you are welcome to
my tent and air mattress, since you will have a co-pilot with you. I also
have a couple sets of tie downs for those who don't have any, if you plan on
camping over night you are welcome to them. If I have room, I might be able
to get 1 or 2 additional piets in my hanger, who ever brings the better beer
gets 1st dibs. If by chance we get a shower overnight
fly-in campers can put a tent on the hanger floor (concrete) and have a dry
nights sleep, you will be the security force for the night, shot gun and
buck shot is optional, smack them with a piece of spar stock if you want.
Hope the weather holds out, and looking forward to seeing you all,
Shad

Red Stewart field really appeals to me. It's only about an hour and 15 minutes
away, has a grass field, and they fly j3 cubs. I called today and they seemed
real friendly.
Thanks

Mr, Jason Holmes, will you be flying in or driving? If flying what type of aircraft?
The field is supposed to go public (or might already be, I honestly do
not know) and the owner said he had or was putting out a notam for tailwheels
only. The field does have tricycle aircraft based here, 172, and a couple homebuilts,
so just use good judgement. The field is fairly smooth with a couple
bumps that will bounce you up just when you think you greesed it on, so keep
that yoke/stick in your lap. Also a reminder to all you flying in FLY A NORTH
PATTERN, RIGHT TRAFFIC FOR 28, LEFT TRAFFIC FOR 10. And also watch out for
radio contolled aircraft at the south-west end of the field, make a pattern alt
fly over to scope it out and make sure the model club sees you then come around
and land. And to every one else who plans on flying in Piet or other please
respond so I can plan on a parking arrangement. I will keep posting off and
on the next week or so with
updates and other info.
Now it's back out to the hanger for more clean up (10:45pm)

Shad, sorry I didn't give more details in that post. I, and my Dad, will by
driving in. I have flown out of there with Bill taking lessons in the Champ
so I will just park wherever I can (probably at the hangars unless Bill
minds).
Thanks,
Jason

Shad,
Good luck to you, and all the attendees. Wish I were in a position to come
myself. Sounds like loads of fun. I predict this event will be successful
, and fun will be had by all.

Dan H., I have been to your house also, we taxied from the pumps in your sedan
when Santiago came up, Mayby next year if all goes well you'll be able to make
it, although it will be about 6-8 hrs flight time. We might try Brodhead again
in 2011, although with #2 on the way the wife might say NO!
