The oldest continuously registered aircraft in Canada is CF-AOG, John Howroyd's Piet on Vancouver Island. Every time you turn around another accomplished Piet turns up. :-) Clif > I believe this is one of the oldest Piets still flying on a regular bases. > Thinking it was built around 1935. > > -------- > Adrian M > Winnipeg, MB > Canada

    Though I cannot say for sure, I am fairly confident that the Forrest Lovely rad is (was, he won't make 'em anymore) a double row as it was close to four inches thick. I have a brass three row rad for sale which I bought from Lowell Frank for extra cooling which has never been used, it anyone is interested. I have a Continental now so don't need it, but it sure should cool anything out there. Thanks all for the input re cowling access, it's all pretty much as I though and I will lean heavily on your advice as this cowl progresses. Had great progress this week, have the cowling and grill hanging from the airframe and it positioned perfectly around the engine and seems really nice and secure. I've split the cowling so it divides top and bottom using piano hinges. Designed and build a really cool 1930's looking grill that looks like it came off an old Jaguar or something for the front, and that'll split across the prop as well so this should all be pretty easy to remove. Wings done, gotta plumb the new engine and finish the installation, rebuild my axle/wheel/brake set up, recover the fuselage, repaint the fuselage and possibly enlarge my fuel tank a bit. Doubt we'll be ready for Brodhead with all the work I have, but I'm over the self-imposed deadline thing. My only deadline is to 'touch the Piet every day" and when I do that, I find it moves forward slowly but surely. Douwe

    Subject: axle travel distance
    Hey, Not sure if you guys with split axles can help, but anybody with a straight axle gear. I'm making a retaining/safety loop to keep the axle down and our of the fuselage (and my big wheels out of the lift struts) in case of bungee breakage and want to know what is a good maximum amount of vertical travel to allow the axle. I like my bungees pretty tight. It looks to me like 3" should do? Especially if the loop is well padded to absorb any shock if it does hit. Thanks, Douwe

    Douwe mine are 4" but that is adjustable by adding a spacer or washers. I have a nut on the 1/2" anti-rotation pins. I have no Piet flying experience so take what I did like a grain of salt or hill of beans. I have not built the struts yet and may have to take some travel out of it. -------- Jerry Dotson 59 Daniel Johnson Rd Baker, FL 32531 Started building NX510JD July, 2009 wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rolling using Lycoming O-235 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=327123#327123

    From: John Kuhfahl <kuhlcouper@gmail.com>
    Hi, John here. I am new to list--looks great! I am restoring a Piet built in the 70's--having a ball and will have lots of questions. Can I screw the seat backs rather than glue as I found them? A lot easier access. Thanks in advance. BTW I am an A&P and specialize in Continental engines. -- John Kuhfahl, Lt Col USAF (Ret), PresIident, KUHLCOUPER LLC

    Hi John, I believe some have cut access doors in that rear panel, but it provides shear strength, and should therefore be glued. Gary Boothe Cool, Ca. Pietenpol WW Corvair Conversion, Running!
