Subject: | tips for welding fuel tank filler neck flange |
Douwe,
Have you considered Proseal (can't remember the new name) and rivets? It has
worked well for me. I wouldn't be comfortable with ANY moisture around my
tig machine.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: tips for welding fuel tank filler neck
flange
I'm doing my third fuel tank (don't ask.) and have always struggled with
welding on the filler neck ring without causing lots of distortion on the
top of the tank.
The first time, I built the tank and then cut the hole and welded on the
neck flange and it warped the snot out of the top and just didn't look good.
The second time I welded the flange on to the top while it was flat, prior
to welding it onto the rest of the tank. That worked MUCH better, but was
still not as clean and smooth as I see on others tanks.
So. any suggestions for how to do it and avoid warpage from the heat? I tig
weld by the way.
My plan is to rivet the flange on, weld the bead around the edge and then
weld over the rivet holes hoping that'll keep things smoother.
Thanks, as always.
Douwe

Subject: | For Sale - N8031 |
Dear all,
Well, I've been presented an opportunity to purchase a Hatz biplane, but
my dear lovely wife says that I can't have 2 airplanes. She says I have
to sell the Piet. I protested, of course, but to no avail.
So, with heavy heart and deep trepidation, I have determined that the
time has come to pass the stewardship of N8031 to another pilot. I've
had a lot of fun with her and I'm sure the next owner will, too. We've
hopped many rides together at Brodhead and local pancake breakfasts and
poked into some interesting grass strips around Northern Illinois and
Southern Wisconsin. I flew her about 60 hours in the 20 months I've
owned her. She's treated me very well.
Here are her specifics:
Short fuselage Pietenpol Air Camper built in 1979
Stits poly cover with dope, repainted in 1999
Cub-style split axle gear with Cub 8.00x4 tires
723lbs empty, 1200lb gross
16.5g fuel (13g tank in center section + 3.5 header tank)
~400 TTAF&E
Continental A-65-8F ~400 SMOH
Marvel Schebler MA-3 carb with accelerator pump and mixture control
74-42 McCauley Met-L-Prop
New stainless steel exhaust installed 2010
With 0 gallons of fuel she is still within the W&B limits with a 196lb
pilot. With full fuel, she can handle a 226lb pilot. I'm 170lb and
have given rides to 210lb passengers with no problem.
The prior owner had several adventures with N8031 including flying her
from San Luis Obispo, CA to Dayton, OH where he entered it in the
Airventure Cup race to OSH. That story and the pictures are at the
following URLs:

"EAA Airventure Today" article about entering N8031 in the the
Airventure Race:
http://airventure.org/news/2009/090728_cup_racer.html
Here's a video I posted on youtube flying N8031 - that's me with the big
smile in the pilot's seat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj6ycRzzO20
I'm asking $14,500 for her.
If you are interested please feel free to drop me an email off list at
my personal email address, yocum137@gmail.com.
Thanks!

Oh that reminds me...I'll be in Kotzebue, AK (30 miles north of the arctic circle)
in a few weeks.
Any Piets in the area??? :-)
I am hoping for a tour of the area in a small plane but it's probably too much
to ask that it be a Piet...

What do you other model "A" guys use for a cruise RPM? I could have sworn that
Mr. Pietenpol used 1850 but I can't remember where I got that number. (Not that
I'm getting forgetful but in my line of work some things get a little fuzzy if
I
don't use them often.)
Also, I'm polling the faithful for prop sizes. I'm running a 74x48 but again, I
seem to remember that Mr. Pietenpol had a range that he recommended that had a
lot less pitch.....I think, maybe, possibly.....or maybe not.
Chet Peek's book has some references but I can't find my copy right now and I'm
not too sure where he got his info. I believe it differed from what I had heard.
Thanks for your help!
Larry

You'll still come to Brodhead, right?! Now that you've made your mark there you'll
always be considered part of the Pietenpol Fraternity.
