Whoops, what I was referring to is mentioned in the Bingelis books, and
is a type of phenolic material, maybe micartis? My Bingelis books are
out at the airport, so I'll get back to you with the correct term.

Erkki from France & Group. Here is the article written by Barry Davis (th
anks Barry !) about the Big Piets that appeared in the May 2009 issue of E
AA's Sport Aviation magazine. I hope you find it helpful Erkki and to ot
hers who may not have read about this wonderful
undertaking by a great EAA Chapter from Georgia.
I was able to speak with Barry at Brodhead and see some of these Big Piets
up close and they are really a neat idea and well-thought out if you want a
slightly bigger version of a Pietenpol. The Big Piet Group used Corvair
engines for power but I believe that a Continental 0-200 100 hp engine woul
d also be an excellent choice for the larger airplane.

I have a question regarding the big Piets. I know there has been a lot of discussion
on the boards about increasing certain dimensions, such as taller cabanes,
increased fuselage width and wingspan.. I was wondering if anyone has just
increased all dimensions by say 10%. The articles and posts I have read about
the big Piets mention changes, but I was wondering if they had increased overall
dimensions or just modified a few as others have done.

Michael, et al.,
There's a pretty good online tool for estimating the MAC of your
aircraft, here:
http://www.geistware.com/rcmodeling/cg_super_calc.htm
Just be sure to use the same length units throughout - put everything in
inches or feet or meters or leagues or furlongs.
Cheers,
Dan

All,
Another dame has caught my eye - without going into too much detail,
I've been weighing the pros and cons of bedding this steed in my hangar
and during the courtship process discovered that the FAA.gov site has
done a very good job of listing all the applicable airworthiness
directives on a make and model basis. Check it out:

| Subject: | help identifying disk brake caliper |
Folks - this may seem like a newbe question - and it probably is - but I need some
assistance from those more experienced.
First some background: I purchased a GN-1 (vintage 1986 build) last year that came
with 15-6.00x6 tires/wheels. Right brake was always a little spongy - I bled
it several times and it helped temporarily. At the end of the season I noticed
brake fluid starting to show up on the side of my tire. Pulled it off and
found the fluid was leaking between brake cylinder and the piston - meaning the
o-ring seal. When I looked closer - I also noticed that the casting has a small
split where the brake bleeder was overtightened at some point. Basically,
I need to replace the assembly.
Problem - this looks like a Matco assembly - but there is no identification that
I can find on the assembly. The piston is 1.5" dia. Axle it was mounted on is
1.25" dia. The brake rotor on the wheels isn't the tophat kind like what it
appears that Cleveland uses - but a ring style with three cap screws to attach
to the wheel.
Anybody have a clue what this is? I 'd like to replace somewhat in kind so the
master cylinder pressure matches and I don't have different braking loads on each
side of the plane.
Attached are pics for reference. Help?
FYI- intending to fly to Brodhead this year - then to Oshkosh with the group.
