Subject: | Centerburg OH, Piet Fly-In |
Ah, the fly-in season is getting started. In anticipation of this we just
held "Brodhead South" this past weekend. No flying, just friends,
fellowship and flatulence. Ryan Mueller, John Hofmann, Bill Church, Gene
Rambo, Rob Busch and Mike Cuy invaded my home in North Carolina. By
Saturday morning my wife had had enough and we were forced to adjourn to my
hangar at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. At least there we could look at my
Pietenpol, but it was just a bit too cold to fly it (temps were only in the
upper 50's). However we did eat the requisite meal of bratwursts (thanks to
John shipping sausages down from Wisconsin) around the Pietenpol, and made
plans for Brodhead 2011.
A good time was had by all.

Hello Guys, just letting everyone know that I plan on hosting another
Pietenpol Fly-in on June 17, 18 (Fri and Sat.) at Chapman Memorial OH71
again this year weather permitting. If you want to fly in on friday and
camp your welcome to. And for all you guys (Jack Phillips) with those
aluminum go-faster's, you welcome to drop in as well. I will supply the
hotdogs, and drinks, if you can carry a covered dish etc bring one, there
will be a donation jar to help cover expenses like port-o-potty etc. Last
year was a little lean on airplanes due to weather, but not on fun. We had
3 or 4 people drive in who are building pietenpols, and Skipp, and Ed flew
their piets up from WV. So if you think you might be interested let me
know, I will start a roster to make sure no one goes hungry.
Shad
p.s. With all the rain we got today, you might need some floats to get in
here!

Hey Dan ... do you have the FSI ignition parts in there ??
they say it will work on 6-16 volts.. i can't imagine the current draw being very
high myself but i see this as a good backup...
Maybe a good primary ignition with more of a power source.. wind or engine generator..
i noticed the spark advance is wired in place...i can see another lever in the
cockpit.... folks today don't get it
i leave the keys in my 30 AA all the time.. only old guys know how to start it...fuel
on... retard spark...open throttle..choke..step on the right button...fun
to drive but you gotta know how

Best of Luck to you Charles. My Dad was the 'old man' of his unit,
older even than the real 'old man', who got the CO job because he was
from a 'connected' old-money family from VA, although my dad said he
did a good job in spite of that & they remained friends after the war.
Growing up as an orphan, cared for by relatives, dad graduated from
college (1st in his family, dirt farmers from MN) in 1939 & served in
the S. Pacific as a jg, captaining an auxillary craft as part of the
move through the Solomon Islands following Guadalcanal. Went on after
the war to be a successful businessman, raise 3 kids & earn a long &
well-deserved retirement. We lost him last Spring at 93. Miss him a
lot.

Jim, I see you welded aluminum plates on to your aluminum wing struts where they
attach to the fuselage. This is the same idea I was thinking of using. I assume
you welded a plate to both top and bottom of the strut? It looks to be about
1/4" think, is this correct? How do you like/are you happy with the struts
welded this way? My attach fitting will only allow for a single bolt where as
you used two, any issues with a single 5/16" or 3/8" bolt?
Anyone else have ideas/opinions?
Thank for your help.

You can ignore my single bolt comment. After looking again at Jim's pictures on

Got my wingtips on and ailerons cut out in the last day or so...
glued some 1/8 ply to the inboard side of the ailerons...
nothing in the F & G manual about what to do there... may add capstrip to the inside
of the ply..

Subject: | Re: Rudder bar and forward controls |
One quick comment to Michael regarding the rudder bar.
You write that you used "standard tubing - .035" wall SS".
Just be aware that stainless steel tubing typically has only half the Yield Strength
of 4130 - and in this case, the plans specifically mention to use chro-moly
tubing for the rudder bar.

Sorry about your loss. If he graduated college in 39 he was "the old

Went on to go to flight school and finished in Sept '43. Those were the

I might make it. I was always the "baby" of all the units I was
attached to. I was the youngest to graduate from US Navy flight school
until George HW Bush came along and beat me by a couple of months.

Gene
I have had a number of e mails back and forth with guys from the Wood
Shop about which fuselage and which engine we are going to use. What it
comes to is if you are comfortable with us putting the Model A with a
Long fuselage and maybe having it seperated later I would still love to
have it. However if you arent comfortable with it being sold
seperatly, Please say so at this point and we will all understand. I
definrtly be willing to drive to D.C. to pick it up on the way to SNF.
Please let me know.
Dick N.

Hey again Gene
I don't remember where you are. I know it's in the east. I can do
that though. I am going early about the 17th of March.

dont know if I am going, but I won't be able to bring down if I do.
If you are going through this area, pick up would be great, we can pick
around and see if there is anything else I have extra. If not in this
area, I could ship to you.

Dick, I have a Model A engine mount and radiator mount that came
off of Jack McCarthy's Piet when he converted. I would be happy to
donate these to the cause.

This year at Sun n Fun in the Wood Shop we are going to build a
Pietenpol Fuselage and tail section. We are then going to donate what
we build to Brodhead airport to be auctioned or sold at the Pietenpol
reunion this summer, for the concrete floor at the new visitors center.
Dave Aldrich is going to contribute the wood and I am working on Wicks
to contribute te plywood. What we still need are steel fittings, (
bell crank, torque tube, tail brackets and rudder assy bar also the wing
fittings). Is there anyone out there that can make a set for us? If
you can, please contact me off list? I know this is short notice and we
cant pay for them but I appreciate what ever you all can do. Of couse
if you can contribute anything else we can use anything (engine mount,
wing struts, fuel tank, tail wheel or? ) I"m sure there a lot of
things around the hangar floor you've been meaning to sell or use
someplace that would be perfect for our plane.

Subject: | 4 foot center section |
So here's my version of a 4 foot center section. This should allow for a l
ot more fuel to burn once my Corvair crankshaft snaps. I haven't figured o
ut the actual volume yet - the design is kinda evolving. I had some ideas
about it that as I put them together=2C "it was revealed" that my ideas wer
e not going to work. I have quite a bit more work to do=2C but I thought I
'd share a couple pics as this stage.
I just realized that if my plans fall together (financial plans) by mid sum
mer=2C I should have all the major airframe and engine components to put th
is aircraft together. If you notice though=2C I didn't mention which summe
r : ) Should be ordering my spars soon - the stuff I got from McKormicks
just didn't pan out like I thought so I'll use the wood elsewhere. If you
think about it=2C for spar material (the stuff that really counts) Aircraft
spruce price isn't really that expensive - even if you include the shippin
g. They estimated $130 shipping to Minneapolis area - hope that's close.
That should leave me with about $400 or so worth in spar material (4 pieces
at 12'-6" each). Put those together and that's about hoe much wood I've g
ot into this thing in the fuse=2C tail=2C ply etc. - maybe a little more bu
t not much. Thought about going to Youngblood lumber and getting some fir
for spars but I just don't feel like taking another risk since my last one
didn't turn out. Really=2C I got enough for (2) spars which is what I plan
ned - the pieces are just not as "perfect" as I'd like. This isn't a slam
on Mckormicks at all - It's just once I got the boards home and planed=2C i
t uncovered some stuff I wansn't happy with. I could make it work but I'd
rather just have the peace of mind of having those critical members be cert
ified materials. Call me paranoid I guess.
Anyway=2C if anyone is interested in following the 4 foot center constructi
on let me know. I can keep posting pics and progress reports. I intend to
support it with laminated spruce / ply / spruce cabanes which I just lamin
ated not too long ago.
Later=2C
