    This has nothing to do with engine weight. Jack mentioned Roman Bukolt. If you look at my avatar you will see a 1/4 scale Fleet Model 2 biplane. It is over 10 years old and still is like new. Roman built the kit. He builds as good of a kit as I have ever seen.

    From: "MPB" <mike@seatec.us>
    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?

    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.... ;) Ryan On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 2:08 PM, MPB <mike@seatec.us> wrote: > > Well I guess I missed the conflicting dates... kinda obvious now that you > point it out.

    From: "Bill Church" <billspiet@sympatico.ca>
    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. Bill C.

    Subject: Contintental Motor Mount question
    From: "Bill Church" <billspiet@sympatico.ca>
    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? Bill C.

    From: helspersew@aol.com
    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) Dan Helsper Poplar Grove, IL. do not archive

    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.
