When you attach the 2 tail brace cables to the top v-stab bracket, is it

Mr. Dudley:
Go to the Corvair Society of America (CORSA) website using the link below.
Search the chapters for the one closest to you and use the info to make a
couple of calls. That is how I found my core engine out here in middle
America.

Subject: | MGL Electronic Tach |
Group,
My old Lyco 0-235 tach cable began to turn in the gear case drive, thus not
turning the tach. Because it was a non-standard length Spruce wanted a small
fortune for a new tach inter-cable. Two points, flying without a tach
working properly, is darn hard. I did not realize how dependent I had
become on looking down at the tach while setting up for a landings. It's
naturally possible to do, establish a 60 kt, 500 ft'/min glide, but a heck a
lot easier with a tach. Second point, I'm gonna install a MGL Velocity RPM
tach from Air Spruce. This tach picks up the signal from the P lead on the
mag. Question, anyone out there had any experience with this instrument?
If so, anything second thoughts or suggestions to keep from frying it,
etc.? The installation stuff suggests a 10K ohm resistor between the P
lead and the Tach feed, has this proven enough?
Thanks

Jon,
I did the first flight and the first 40 hours in a Ragwing Special that a friend
of mine built. I was very surprised at how much it flew like the Piet. It
is very roomy inside too. It likes 3 point take offs and landings. Wheel landings
are useless and raising the tail on take off was a waste of time and used
twice as much runway. He had a 440 cc Kawasaki in it first. It broke a crank
at 8 hours and the landing was uneventful. He then put in a 55 HP Hirth.
It was a better choice of engines and ran smoother.
I got the owner current in the front seat of my Piet and then turned him loose
in his Ragwing. It was a good transition for him and he has had no problems.
It is a very fun airplane to own and fly. I give it a 9 out of 10. The Piet is
a 10 out of 10.

Bill C. and group,
I want to thank you guy's for the information you share. I have purchased this
project. This is the early steps of a lifelong(well 40 years of it anyways!)
dream. To cruise above this fabulous planet low and slow. I have survived a great
career as a mountain guide working in the highest elevation production heli
skiing in the world, in the Himalayas. Now I look forward to tinkering on my
own machine, choosing only the weather I like and coming home when I want!
I have a ton of questions but will restrain myself and slowly research the easy
ones and turn to you guys when needed.
Thanks again,
Lyle Fast

Thanks to all for the responses. Ken, I'll give you a call in the next day or
two if that'd be okay. Now that the snow is starting to thaw (at least a little
anyway), we'll have to plan a visit so I can see your build. I'll also check
the Corsa website for a local chapter. Kind of interested also in the Georgia
Corvair engine given that if I used that nearly every part of my plane would
have come out of Georgia (my orders are delivered from the Peach Tree City,
GA Aircraft Spruce). If I haven't any luck between now and Brodhead, I can follow
Ryan's lead on my first trip there this July (I can hardly wait for that
trip!).
Again, thanks to all.

Subject: | Re: Props and hub and progress |
i bought the plans years ago... simple plane to build and fly..
nice to hear the piet fly like the special
i actually think a change in the airfoil on the special would be a good idea..
it has the airfoil used on the later pitts...not flat on the bottom.... and its
not that great for the special speeds. lots of guys had to change the angle
of incidence i added about 2 degrees to both wings if i remember correctly to
get it to fly more level
i actually soloed in that plane... it was way easy to land
i may build another some day.. and maybe with a clark Y and a VW

We considered the VW but we were flying it as an ultralight and didn't want to
add the weight. As it was, it was already heavy. It is now in the experimental
category since the light sport rules. I think this link will show you the
plane.

For a qick reply.....
I did the same thing as Don and others have done. The spring is from John
Deere and I think its from a 1929 rake. I have the part number and will
look it up. I got mine from our local JD supplier and i think it was about
$19 a couple of years ago.

My spring is about 2/3 of a dirt bike rear coil spring. I cut it off and ground
the end smooth. Works for me. Price was right.

I did it and used a spring from McMaster-Carr. Don't remember the part
number, but you can order it online fromtheir website. Just figure out what
size you need to get close to the plans. Others have used springs from John
Deere.

I just noticed in Chris' post that Don Emoch's Piet uses the tailwheel
arrangement according to the plans.- Anyone else out there who used that
same arrangement (Tailwheel fork with a coil spring) I need to know what
spring is used and where I can get one.- Chuck

Thanks for the information,
That is a nice looking little bird.
I used to follow a ragwing forum but it got too nasty, and too much misinformation.
That is what I like about this group. Much more professional.

I also got my spring from John Deere=2C $19 as advertised.
I was talking with someone on here (Douwe) who shall go unnamed (Douwe) and
was chastised for beating the lawyer thing to death (Douwe). I promised t
o change over to progress reports. Since someone on here just published th
e number of days until Brodhead (damn you) the pressure is now on. NOW I a
m going to make everyone wish I was back on the legal profession.
I am going to fly my airplane to Brodhead or die trying (not in the flight
=2C but in the hangar). As it stands with=2C what=2C 138 days to go=2C her
e is where I stand:
Wing is covered and 2/3 of ribs are stitched before it got too cold in the
hangar. Need to finish stitching=2C put on all tapes=2C and paint. All ta
pes and paint (dope) on hand.
All tail surfaces and ailerons are covered and stitched. Need to put on al
l tapes and paint. All tape and paint (dope) on hand.
Fuselage is ready to cover=2C but with a million small projects to finish w
hich can all be done after cover=2C such as: seat cushions=2C coaming paddi
ng=2C windshields=2C finish tailskid=2C fuel lines=2C etc.
Engine=2C magneto=2C and carburetor are overhauled. Million small projects
to finish on engine=2C though=2C such as: external oil lines=2C water line
s to radiator=2C valve chamber cover (material on hand) spark plug wires (m
aterial on hand)=2C exhaust pipes (material on hand)=2C carb heat muff=2C e
tc.
Cloudcars scimitar prop is ready to go. It's real=2C and it is magnificent
!! (to quote a line from Seinfeld)
Yesterday I made cardboard patterns for all cockpit sheet metal=2C cut it o
ut of aluminum=2C slip rolled it to shape=2C and ran a double bead along th
e bottom on the sides. Needs final trimming and holes cut for roll wires a
nd fuel line. I also tack-welded the fuel tank (a friend who can heliarc d
id). Once it is test fit=2C it can be finish welded and painted.
Engione cowling cannot be made until the engine is mounted. I made the coc
kpit metal in a day=2C I think I can the engine cowl in not too much longer
.
I will take any and all criticism=2C encouragement=2C and assistance I can
get in the upcoming months.

Subject: | Re: V-Stab Fittings |
Gene,
Thanks for the update on your plane's progress. Sounds like a lot to accomplish
before Broadhead, but I sure hope you can get it done. I started my project
a few months before you posted the pictures of your uncovered plane last fall.
Beautiful. One of those pics is the desktop for all the computers I own and
is good inspiration. It'd be great to see it done. Good luck.
