That's Shawn Wolk's plane. It's had it's very own TV debut
as a stand in for a WW-1 plane.
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. :-)

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.

It sounds like it's moving right along Douwe. I remember the changes you wanted
to make to the brakes, but I forget, you are keeping the wood gear, right?

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.

Subject: | Do back seat backs need to be glued? |
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.

Hi John,
I believe some have cut access doors in that rear panel, but it provides
shear strength, and should therefore be glued.
