Hey all,
I'm kinda getting close to wiring up my 0200. I'm going to leave the
starter, generator and have a battery, but obviously other than that, a very
minimal system. Just enough to start and run my smoke and a couple of
cigarette adapters in the cockpit.
I've been studying wiring diagrams in Bingilis' books and I pretty much get
it, but am wondering if there's someone out there who is pretty comfortable
with this stuff that would volunteer to walk me through it and answer
questions along the way.
Thanks!

This has nothing to do with engine weight. Jack mentioned Roman Bukolt. If you

Subject: | Re: steel fuselage and engine weight |
Well I guess I missed the conflicting dates... kinda obvious now that you point
it out. The plans of the steel fuselage are titled "1937 AirCamper with 1960
Corvair Engine". Now that I look at it again it appears that the wing is swept
back, I assume to correct for the CG shift with the lighter engine. Are there
really any draw backs to shifting the wing back? Does it make more sense
to build the extended wood fuselage instead? Are people still having to shift
the wing with the extended wood fuselage?
Thanks,

Subject: | Re: steel fuselage and engine weight |
The Corvair as Bernard converted it was probably pretty close to the weight
of the Model A. If I recall correctly, the Model A is listed at roughly 245
lbs. A modern WW Corvair conversion is supposed to weigh in around 220-225,
but that is having jettisoned a number of stock Corvair parts from the
automotive application, so 245 for the Pietenpol conversion is probably
about right.
The extended fuselage gives you a little more room in the rear
cockpit....depending on the person it can feel a little less cramped. It
does not address CG issues.
The only drawbacks to shifting the wing back are aesthetics (personal
preference, really), and potentially more difficulty getting in the rear
cockpit, which can be addressed with cutouts, flops, etc.
Just don't tell Gene.... ;)

Subject: | Re: steel fuselage and engine weight |
Mike,
I think I see where you're getting confused. The plan set issued by the Pietenpol
family has one sheet that is actually two separate drawings, combined on one
sheet. Actually it's one drawing, plus some weight and balance data. The bottom
of the drawing sheet is the steel tube fuselage drawing, which is just a duplication
of the same drawing that was included in the 1932 Flying and Glider
Manual. The top part of the sheet is weight and balance data provided as an example
- with the data obtained from one of BHP's actual planes in 1966 - in this
case, Corvair powered. The data doesn't necessarily have anything to do with
the steel tube fuselage. The top half of the drawing sheet has no connection
to the bottom half.
The only advantage of the long fuselage has to do with the height of the pilot
and/or passenger. There is more leg room with the long fuselage, but, as Ryan
said, it does nothing to address W&B issues. Whatever you build, keep the tail
light.

Subject: | Contintental Motor Mount question |
I was going over the plans last night, thinking about the tubing I need to order
for some of the metal work that I have ahead of me, and I noticed a detail in
the plans for the Continental Motor Mount that isn't quite clear to me.
The part in question is the "spool" for attachment of the engine to the mount.
The drawing calls for 0.625 O.D. x .049 tube, to be reamed for a 7/16" bolt. Well,
0.625 x .049 tube has an inner diameter of 0.527", and 7/16" is .438", so
that tube can't be reamed that size, since it's already bigger than that.
Looking a little more closely at the drawing, it's actually drawn with a smaller
tube inside the .625" tube. What's the deelio? Is the inner tube supposed to
be loose, or is it welded to the outer tube? If it's welded, why not just used
a thicker wall tube (.625" x .095")? If it is not welded, why not?

The drawing calls for 0.625 O.D. x .049 tube, to be reamed for a 7/16" bolt.
Well, 0.625 x .049 tube has an inner diameter of 0.527", and 7/16" is .438",
so that tube can't be reamed that size, since it's already bigger than that.

a thicker wall tube (.625" x .095")? If it is not welded, why not?

That is exactly what I did Bill, ordered a 12" piece of the .625 x .095 4130 tubing
reamed to fit 7/16 bolt.
Might even have some extra lazer cut washers kickin" around if you want them.

Bill, I actually just bought some 4130 stock and had a machinist at work
turn down the spools for me, then welded them to the mount.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Contintental Motor Mount question
I was going over the plans last night, thinking about the tubing I need to
order for some of the metal work that I have ahead of me, and I noticed a
detail in the plans for the Continental Motor Mount that isn't quite clear
to me.
The part in question is the "spool" for attachment of the engine to the
mount. The drawing calls for 0.625 O.D. x .049 tube, to be reamed for a
7/16" bolt. Well, 0.625 x .049 tube has an inner diameter of 0.527", and
7/16" is .438", so that tube can't be reamed that size, since it's already
bigger than that.
Looking a little more closely at the drawing, it's actually drawn with a
smaller tube inside the .625" tube. What's the deelio? Is the inner tube
supposed to be loose, or is it welded to the outer tube? If it's welded, why
not just used a thicker wall tube (.625" x .095")? If it is not welded, why
not?

Subject: | Flight of the Phoenix |
Mark R.,
A name for you to consider for your Piet. The Phoenix, as most of you proba
bly know, was a mythical bird that comes back to life after death. Also one
of the all-time great movies from 1965 with Jimmy Stewart. J.S. is the cor
p. oil company pilot flying a C-119 Flying Boxcar with a handful of oil com
pany employees over the Sahara when they run into a sandstorm and crash in
the middle of nowhere. With limited provisions and water, they proceed to c
ut the airplane apart and re-build it into an escape craft. The best scene
is near the end, the day before they are going to try it, when J.S. discove
rs that they have been following the direction of a TOY airplane designer.
J.S. breaks out into a delirious rage and is on the verge of loosing it. Th
en the next day (what was with those shotgun charges anyway?) they finally
get the one engine started and all the survivors line up all along the top
of the wing, right behind these giant lexan spoilers to attempt a take-off.
The thing miraculously lifts off and they all fly over to an oasis with pa
lm trees and land safely to a joyous rush into the pond. A real classic. I
think I'll go out and rent it again. :O)

Okay, gents, thanks for confirming that I wasn't just imagining things. So why
do you suppose the part was drawn that way (tube inside a tube)?
Ben, the plans don't show a washer welded on the back side. Did you use the same
size washer in the back? Seems like there might not be enough space there, with
the tubes converging from behind.

PHP is a web programming "language"......I don't think there is actually a
program called PHP Tablet. It's a normal PDF file, so if you have a viewer
installed it should work. It's possible that there might be an association
mixup in Windows, which IE would feed off of. Offer still stands, if you
want me to hop on and take look let me know and we can arrange it. It's a
one time connection, and I would not be able to access your computer ever
again (unless you accepted another Gotomeeting from me). Not a bad thing to
resolve anyhow, as you'll probably run across more PDFs as a matter of
course.

You are right, there is no washer on the back of mine. I think I must
have used a tube thick enough that the bolts fit tight. Sorry for the
bad info, but I wasn't looking at the mount when I responded, and its
been 3 or 4 years since I made it.

Hi Cliff
I looked at your pics and noticed that you dont have any guards against
the bolts. You might want to get a piece of leather or PVC to wrap
around the bottoms to protect the bungee from wearing out.
