Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: cables
thanks for all the great feedback, as always :) i think im going to go with
stainless though, the extra cost seems to be worth it in this case, although
im going to do some weight research and what not as well.
One of the reasons im steering away from galvanized is that over the winter
i found the Pietenpol with a broken tailwheel steering cable (galvanized)
and it really made me think, ok so what do the ones in the wing look
like.... they didnt look bad, but enough to make me replace them. A quick
history about the plane. It has sat in an open T-hangar, the kind where
there is another plane 180 facing 180 degrees on either side. for the last
8 years. Although i'll be storing it in a closed hangar, it makes me think!
Now im about to go out and take a rough measurement of just how much I need
and add 25%, although will probly end up ordering what i can afford when i
can!
Thanks again!!
AN hardware (short of turn buckles) are in the mail.
Corvair is ready to come off.
Carb is waiting to be rebuilt.
tail feathers ready for cover
thanks for all the great feedback and advice!!

| Subject: | Re: Landing Gear Brackets |
Well I haven't worked with Iron rivets in a long time but as a kid I set many of
them with a Ball Peen hammer.of course they were going through steel sickle
bars holding the cutters on but i seems to me like as long as you have an anvil
to set the head against the method should work about the same.it didn't take
long to do one,the only think I can think of that might be a problem is what
keeps the rivet from trying to swell inside the wood and split it? I never tried
to rivet something like that but I would think if you don't have the equipment
described it would be easy to make up a sample piece and just give the hammer
method a try. it is pretty easy with practice to work around the end of the
rivet with the round head and make a good shop head. Raymond

what does going around a pulley have to do with galvanized vs stainless???

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cables

Should use galvanized cable on any control cable that has to flex around a
pully. Am using stainless on the cabane (3/32") and wing strut cross brace
cables (1/8").

That reminds me. It finally dawned on me that the GN-1 that I bought is the only
one I've ever seen w/out the cross bracing cables that crisscross between the
wing struts. The fella that I bought it from told me to keep in mind that if
a wing drops, or when you level it out after a bank, that it "takes all she got"
to get that wing up level again. He put in some quick gap seals on the airlerons
using dope/fabric, and said that it helps a little, but he said to just
be aware of it when the time comes to fly it. The airframe does have about 480hrs
on it, so it IS a proven airframe, but I am wondering if this lack of cross
bracing may be contributing to the wing possibly warping slightly with aileron
use, etc..
also, before the last person bought it and rebuilt it, it was in a mishap back
in '02. This, in my mind confirms my theory about the lack of cross bracing. Here's
an excerpt of the accident back then:
[b]He began the takeoff roll and initiated a
normal climb until about 20 feet above ground level (agl) when the airplane suddenly
and violently
banked to the left. He applied full right rudder and also right aileron input but
was not able to
recover before the left wing impacted the ground. He then reduced power and the
airplane then
nosed over and came to rest on a closed runway. Postcrash, he checked the flight
controls and
stated, "they moved correctly and freely." He also stated that there was no evidence
of pre-impact
structural failure or malfunction.
Any thoughts on this?
Larry

Why did you remove the cardboard leading edge material? Was it deteriortated?
If it were plywood, it would probably still be in good shape.
Also, I think that the plywood will add more strength to the wing and also probably
be a few pounds lighter.

Someone else pipe up here if Im wrong=2C but I have no idea what would keep
the wing from twisting around the vertical axis relative to the fuselage.
With the configuration of a Piet or a GN-1 and parallel lift struts it wou
ld appear to me that you would have to have the cross bracing. Other desig
ns get around this of course by the "V" configuration of the lift struts.

You can soft solder galvanized coating. If you grind the galvanized coating of
you will
have to brass braze it. I soft soldered a copper tube to the cap.

no=2C the zinc is for corrosion protection. Aircraft cables are supposedly
lubricated internally=2C which might be necessary for going around pulleys
. For stays=2C cables that only hold something in position=2C but don't go
around pulleys=2C like the tail brace wires and even the rear elevator wir
es=2C I don't see why lubricated=2C i.e. "aircraft" cable would be required
. Non "aircraft" cable which has the exact same breaking strength as aircr
aft cable=2C should be fine for tail brace wires=2C cabane wires=2C wing dr
ag/anti-drag wires=2C strut brace wires=2C etc.

The fuel cap I used is aluminum, from Wag Aero I think. I fabricated a cur

| Subject: | Fuselage question |
Members of the list:
-
While cutting and piecing together the fuselage, it is my understanding the
struts and side braces are to have wedges inserted between them before you
glue on the plywood gusset. Question: Do you apply these wedges between al
l struts and braces on both the top and bottom of each side? Not sure where

Here is a link to Lycoming's website with an explanation at the very bottom. I
copied just that portion of the page.

There are no wedges on the plans. The only place I added wedges are the
cluster where the landing gear/wing strut fitting is bolted on and where the
engine mount fittings bolt on.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage question
Members of the list:
While cutting and piecing together the fuselage, it is my understanding the
struts and side braces are to have wedges inserted between them before you
glue on the plywood gusset. Question: Do you apply these wedges between all
struts and braces on both the top and bottom of each side? Not sure where
these wedge pieces belong and, if they should be included in all areas where
the struts and bracing come in contact with the longerons.
Any advice is much needed advice.....

I think this one is what you want. It's O-235.

Interesting to see that they've made your engine with
dynafocal mounts. My O-290 has conical.

It's not the lubrication that's the problem.
We all know that a piece of wire will break if it's bent
back and forth a number of times. Well, stainless will
crystalize and break a lot sooner than non stainless.
As the cable moves back and forth over a pulley it is
doing the same thing a little bit at a time. The question
is, how long before that break will happen? The other
question is, how long before your cables, in your
location, where your plane will spend the rest of it's
days, will rust and need replacement? To me, the
former is of greater concern and my plane will live
500 ft from the shoreline of the Salish Sea in the
company of forty others, some of which have been
there since the fifties. There's also a hundred or so
aircraft at Boundary Bay that are within a quarter mile
of the same salty waters. All cabled with galvanized
and 85% of them have never seen the inside of a
hanger.
Ask around. I think for a lot of you, strange looks will
be the order of the day with the question, " Why do
you want to do that? It's not a seaplane is it?"

matter least."

Doesn't the zinc coating on the galvanized "lubricate" the cable?--

what does going around a pulley have to do with galvanized vs
stainless???

I finally got the website mostly working again. There are some links I need
to redo but the majority of it is back. I will have to fix it later because
I need to get my ailerons finished before it starts to rain, and the wife's
car needs to be back in the garage.

Actually, there are wedges mentioned in the plans. The only place I have seen
them noticed for the fuse sides are the three in the cockpit area. I glued these
in after the gussets were glued in place, but I suppose they could be added
at any time.

After reading Chris' note again, I think we are talking about the same wedges.
Maybe we are all talking of the same wedges? Not sure.

The wedges are necessary at the stations where the landing gear bolts
on on the bottom of the fuselage. I don't have my plans in front of me,
but I believe that is all that is called for.

Thanks for the replies but it still doesn't help me to determine if it is a type
1 or 2
I have found this but am not sure if I am reading it correctly
If you look at L2A It reads similar to J2A then J2A is similar to J2B that has
a type 1 ring. So I read it as the L2A has the type 1

I can't get it to work as a link so hope it will work if you cut and paste
What do you guys think

Why not ask Lycoming themselves? Give 'em the serial#.
