Folks
For those going to Sun-Fun, just wondering if some of the Piet group
will be getting together on Saturday April 2nd, and if so where and when.
I'd really like to put some faces on the names on this list that I've been
lurking on for the past year. My son and I have been to Oshkosh many times,
but this is a first trip to Sun-Fun so we really don't know what to expect.
If possible, my son and I would love to sit in a couple of Piet's to get an
idea of what we are getting ourselves into.......
Chuck Waldo
PS: Plans purchased a year ago, Cad work just about done (see attached),
work shop just about ready to go...wood to be purchased when shop is

Looks good Chuck. Don't worry about the bracing wire clearance. I had some
interference problems and added (or subtracted) small pieces to my rib stru
cture in order to accommodate the wire location. I did not want to move my
ribs from side-to-side, as I thought it might be detected by some astute in
spectors at Brodhead. :O)
My ribs are fastened to the LE (per plans) AND glued to the spars. Just mak
e darn sure you like the way things line-up, because (as I'm sure you are w
ell-aware) after gluing a few ribs, you "aint gonna" move anything on that
wing.

He and I love flying gliders, we joined a glider club in Middletown NY abou
t
3 years ago. Its a different world from the power flying I've been doing
over the last 15 years. We picked up a schweitzer 1-34 a couple of years ag
o
and are flying the pants off of it. And the best part is because its a
glider, we did not have to decide what kind of engine to put in it! LOL

I noticed the heavy/wavy grain as well. What type wood are the spars Charle
s?
I still can't believe how fast you are building this plane! How long has it
been now? MAYBE a year?-
Glad to see it coming together...very exciting times.

Well, I wondered from your post saying he got his private license at 16,
since you can't get a private ASEL until age 17.
Knowing how to fly a glider will put him in good shape if you decide to
power your Pietenpol with a Corvair. He'll probably need such training.

He and I love flying gliders, we joined a glider club in Middletown NY about
3 years ago. Its a different world from the power flying I've been doing
over the last 15 years. We picked up a schweitzer 1-34 a couple of years ago
and are flying the pants off of it. And the best part is because its a
glider, we did not have to decide what kind of engine to put in it! LOL

Folks
For those going to Sun-Fun, just wondering if some of the Piet group
will be getting together on Saturday April 2nd, and if so where and when.
I'd really like to put some faces on the names on this list that I've been
lurking on for the past year. My son and I have been to Oshkosh many times,
but this is a first trip to Sun-Fun so we really don't know what to expect.
If possible, my son and I would love to sit in a couple of Piet's to get an
idea of what we are getting ourselves into.......

To be fair... I see where I did make mention that one of the reasons I chose the
Corvair was "simplicity", but I wasn't suggesting that it was simpler than anything
else in particular, just that it was familiar, available, etc., and therefore
simpler from my perspective. I don't have any experience with aircraft
engines so I can't make that type of comparison. I also reserve the right to
be wrong, as well as the freedom to choose whatever engine I want, regardless
of what others think.
Just gotta keep this thread alive. [Rolling Eyes]

the hangar is nice to have ... i try not to touch the piet during "work" hours
but the Citation left yesterday and won't be back till tomorrow... so i didn't
feel too bad about putting the wing on
i still loose tools...and coffee mugs... and my tape measure
i guess i cant really make the real struts till i do a weight and balance but i'm
looking forward to those holding up the wing
i've been building to the flying and glider manuals..and i like the aileron cables
on the outside like Walt Bowes plane but i kinda wondered about the "new"
way too... time to work on that stuff

OK guys,
I fly behind a Cont. C-85-12F and have friends who fly what used to be an auto
engine. You know like the Model A, Corvair, Model T, yes I said T. I have in-fact
personally flown all three of these and more. The Model T was in Chris Essgards
Sky Scout that our old friend Bernie built (yes the original) and the
Model A was Gar Williams Sky Scout that Bernie also built. Anyway, to the point
here. I understand that everyone here is having fun poking at each other (and
some of it is pretty funny) so here is my personal thought. It seems to me
that after you take the engine out of whatever car it used to be in, it is no
longer and auto engine. Once it is install in an aircraft I consider it to
be an aircraft engine. Whatever engine happens to be pulling us around the sky
doesn't really matter because we all come home the same way. With bugs in our
teeth. If you don't believe me, then start checking everyone's teeth when
the arrive at the next Piet gathering wherever that may be. You can all check
mine at the Frazier Lake gathering in June.
Now continue the jousting!

Yeah, the first six I glued are affixed permanently. I glued up the
balance of the right wing today. Well there is a difference in the rib
spacing so the inspectors will have something to talk about. I don't
care, as long as it flies -- I ain't trying to win any beauty pageants.
Bought a Corvair project for Tom Brant in Minnesota and got in line with
Dan Weseman for a 5th bearing assembly. Gonna go get some welding
instruction tommorrow. About all the welding left is the landing gear
and wing struts. Hope to get it in the air and time flown off in time
to fly to Barnwell SC for a Corvair 'college' in November. Gotta get
hot. If I didn't have to sleep i could get a lot more done :0) Chuck

Looks good Chuck. Don't worry about the bracing wire clearance. I had
some interference problems and added (or subtracted) small pieces to my
rib structure in order to accommodate the wire location. I did not want
to move my ribs from side-to-side, as I thought it might be detected by
some astute inspectors at Brodhead. :O)
My ribs are fastened to the LE (per plans) AND glued to the spars.
Just make darn sure you like the way things line-up, because (as I'm
sure you are well-aware) after gluing a few ribs, you "aint gonna" move
anything on that wing.

Jeff:
I will agree that the FGM control system is neat looking and works fine, but my
biggest complaint is that the aileron cables are easy to step on when getting
situated in the rear cockpit. You really have to be careful not to catch a heal
when getting in and out. The "Improved Air Camper" control system uses a
horn on the control column and the cables exit the fuselage vertically, thus keeping
them away from your feet. It really is an improvement in my opinion...

While we're on the subject of wings, how much rib capstrip does one usually order
to compete the wing ribs? I'm getting close to making an order from Aircraft
Spruce, and woud like to know how much to order without ordering way too much.
Since I have my tail section built, I don't need capstrip for those component...
Thanks for any input!

Without trying to be flippant (well, maybe a little, Billy), what I did and
most people have done is to take a tape measure and add up the lengths of
the uprights and diagonals, then add the upper and lower capstrips.
Multiply that answer by 30.
As I recall, I used 3 6' pices of 1/4" x 1/2" spruce per rib, but this was
15 years ago so check my memory (and my math).

Jack's memory seems to be working pretty good.
Three 6 foot pieces per rib works out nicely, for the REAL Pietenpol ribs, anyway
- maybe different if you're using the Riblett airfoil.

OK guys,
I fly behind a Cont. C-85-12F and have friends who fly what used to be an
auto engine. You know like the Model A, Corvair, Model T, yes I said T. I
have in-fact personally flown all three of these and more. The Model T was
in Chris Essgards Sky Scout that our old friend Bernie built (yes the
original) and the Model A was Gar Williams Sky Scout that Bernie also built.
Anyway, to the point here. I understand that everyone here is having fun
poking at each other (and some of it is pretty funny) so here is my personal
thought. It seems to me that after you take the engine out of whatever car
it used to be in, it is no longer and auto engine. Once it is install in an
aircraft I consider it to be an aircraft engine.
