| Subject: | Encoder Installation |
Was wondering where others located their encoders. Close to transponder, or
static source? My Trans-Cal manual says it should be as close as possible
to the altimeter. Since I'm mounting my transponder in the center section,
I would rather run the static line down through the struts rather than the
large wire bundle. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi Shad,
No, the engine did not overheat. The crank drive mag seems to be turning
fine, but the one driven from the cam gear is not. If the cam gear fell
apart then the camshaft would stop turning. I don't think it was that or
the engine would have not run at all. Still haven't looked at it. I won't
have time to look at it for about 2 weeks. I'll report in when I find out
. Thanks for the encouragement.

Dan, did the engine overheat? If both mags quit turning, the drive gear
(for the mags)might have come apart. Check the whole thing over really
good, and when you get it fixed, fly it over your home airfield for 5-10
hrs to verify it is fixed. Our engine problems got us right when we wer
e done with our 40 hr test phase (about 59 hrs to be exact). Stick with
it, You'll get it figured out. Remember these are experimental aircraft,
it is a learning experiance, so try to enjoy the whole project (even the
down times).
If I make brodhead next year, I am certain I will see your piet there,
Shad

Hey Shad.. it looked great
I was the long hair that was all over your plane when you landed... wanted to say
hello but you were surrounded pretty quick... i noticed you on the upwind leg..
recognized the piet and watched for you to park.
I was in my 120..from lee bottom i took it to danville KY to its new home.
I start building in the next few weeks.
If you've never been to Lee Bottom you are missing a great fly in

Just because you fly a Pietenpol doesn't mean you have to avoid flying in to
Class C or Class B airspace. I've had mine in both, several times.
Invariably draws questions from the tower - "Say, just what kind of airplane
IS that?"
I would not have been able to put mine on display at the Smithsonian's
Udvar-Hazy museum's Be a Pilot Family Day, if I did not have a transponder.
Flying through the Washington ADIZ and landing at Dulles International was a
thrill!

Larry,
I think Grega left the cross bracing cables in place is because his
diagonal brace are small and light tube, 1/2"X.032 I think. Also he just
has a small strap wrapped around the top of the cabane (not welded) to
attach the diagonal brace to. Most Piet guys take the cross bracing cables
out after they get the wing location set. Hopefully they use heaver tube
for the diagonal brace and weld the fitting to the top of the cabane. Your
diagonal braces look a little bigger than the braces on my GN-1. If you
have any second thoughts I would put cross braces in.

Actually, it doesn't matter much. Once all the ribs are built, you will
need to stack them on a couple of short pieces of spar material and then
sand them all together with a long sanding block to make sure they are all
absolutely uniform.

I see a few of the rib jigs are using a cam wheel to hold the top and bottom
sticks to the rib out line.
I did the same, however I installed all the cams on the inside of the rib so
as to push the sticks out against the perimeter jig blocks.
This way you are sure all the ribs will have the same outside contour line
irrespective of variations in stick thickness.
Does that make sense?

My jig is more like Tucker's. I put the fixed, rectangular blocks on the outside
of the curvature and the cams on the inside. So on the bottom reflexed area,
the cams are on the outside of the rib. I think it's like Ryan said, probably
won't make a difference in the long run.

Skip,
I think what everyone is talking about here are the wires that brace
the lift struts, not the ones between the right side cabanes that can
be replaced by the forward diagonal brace. It seems that this plane
has been flying without the lift strut wires - I would not think that
that is a reasonable proposition, to put it mildly. Also makes me
wonder if this plane has jury struts?

Yeah... it's lacking the cables that criss cross between the lift struts. I already
bought the 'tangs' (that the strut attach bolts go thru) from AS&S for the
cables I will install. I was thinking that stainless flying wires might be better/stronger....
until I saw the pricing on it. Anything (cable) would be better
than nothing.. I hope..

My pleasure....and I only WISH I had done more than just "point" to pictures someone
ELSE got to take!!! Sure wish I could have been there....while these pictures
were being taken I was driving around (ok, LEARNING to drive around) in
a Bobcat...moving dirt piles from one spot to the other....yuck!
Actually being at Lee Bottom would have been SO much more fun!

| Subject: | Re: Corvair Engine |
Hey Tom,
-
Great talking to you last night! I look forward to visiting with you and bu
ilding these beautiful airplanes.
-
I finished the layout of the fuse sides last night and decided to utilize t
he shorter version of the fuse as listed in the Flyer and Glider Manual. Wi
th my weight I have taken note from others the plane tends to be tail heavy
if usig the long fuse.
I will be applying glue this Saturday after returning back from my conferen
ce to Orlando. I have- a new tail wheel from Aircraft Spruce which should
work very well.
I am going to study the tail section as I like the squareness of the stabil
izer you pointed out. I believe the cross pieces in the improved design are
a better stronger layout. Otherwise everything else is the same.
-
As the fuse glue drys for a few days, I will probably start cutting my rib
parts. Remember, a paper cutter works great for cutting the plywood gussett
s (if you are using the square design)

Hi Jim,
Driving a Bobcat would be lots of fun too; unless you accidently moved something
you shouldn't.

You're absolutely right and i likely will install a transponder down the ro

Stainless cable can be wrapped using the proper flux,For the extra $40 I'd rather
have real aircraft stainless its cheaper than a coffin.Stainless is FAA PMA
certified as is galvanized.You have yearly inspections,part of that is cable
inspection,all cables wear out.Replace as needed.The recommended cable sizes ie
3/32 for everything but the elevator and 1/8 for the elevator is what is required
no more no less.If any aircraft cable broke from going around a recommended
bend radius it would never get an FAA PMA stamp.If you use certified parts
you may have a bit less money,if you don't someone might use the money you saved
for your funeral.Being cheap is always more costly.

configuration of a Piet or a GN-1 and parallel lift struts it would appear to
me that you would have to have the cross bracing. Other designs get around this
of course by the "V" configuration of the lift struts.

My GN-1 plans clearly show the cables between the struts on the assembled 3d drawing.

better than nothing.. I hope..

Dillsburg Airplane works has aircraft cables for about 1/2 the price of Aircraft
Spruce. They are lubed as well. I am using 3/32" 7x19 galv. for all control
cables and 1/8" 7x19 galv. for flying wires. Dillsburg does not have a website
so you have to call for price. They will send you a price list.

| Subject: | turnbuckles & blasting cabinet. |
I've just been lurking for awhile, but have made some progress that I thought I
would share. (Building / rebuilding a GN-1 project.)
The turn buckles in my project were huge. Our local DAR suggested they were good
for a 737. I'll bet I have 10# if turnbuckles. I decided to change them all
and looked at the AS price. Long story short I decided to build my own. I
saw a great light weight turnbuckle at Broadhead and decided to copy them with
some changes. Built a prototype and tested it today. I put 1250 pounds tension
until I reached the yield point of my testing beam and no damage to the turnbuckle.
The prototype has 3/8" brass barrel and 3/16" ends with loop ends
which are braised. I am going to try stainless steel ends but fabrication may
be more difficult. I plan on about 20 of them if my count is correct and I have
about $100 which includes 10/32 right and left hand taps and dies, in material
which will make twice that number. Clevises will be from used M-cycle chain
side plates held together with 10/32 AN bolts. Photos attached. Lots of time
but certainly some cost savings.
Another project which may be of interest is the sand blasting cabinet I made from
scrap odds and ends in the shop. I have $20 in it for a light and rubber gloves
the rest was stuff I had laying around. I think one could build one for
under $50 buying all new plus a $15 sand blasting gun from Harbor freight.
The sand runs out into a 5 gal bucket through a boot made of house wrap, and is
reused through a plastic tube connected to the gun. Needs 80 PSI to work with
my gun and I need to stop every 10 min. to let the home made compressor catch
up. I built it to allow longer tubes to be fed in one end and out the other.
Does a great job of cleaning up welds and taking off minor rust. Photos attached
