Congrats Oscar, I wish you the best with the move. A couple of thoughts,
you are most welcome in Des Moines (I35 and I80) anytime! Also, the fellow
that bought my RV8 had it shipped to the East coast. I was impressed with
the trailer which had 3 RV's on board, packed very well. I believe the cost
was reasonable. Wish I could remember the outfit's name. I'm sure you
could find their advertisement or info on the RV list.
Best wishes!

Well, folks- it's official. I'm soon to return to being a West Coast
Pieter.
We will be moving from TX to Medford, Oregon over Memorial Day holiday. Our
house here in San Antonio is sold, I've given notice at work, and my start
date at work with my old partners in Medford is June 6. Not
sure when Scout will be making the trip, but probably late summer or early
fall I'll fly commercial back to TX and then ferry the airplane "home" to
Oregon. I'll be stopping along the way to visit with Piet folks all along
the route back west along Interstate 10 and north along Interstate 5 (or the
valley highway), playing Jim Markle with tool pilfering at hangars and shops
all along the route, until Scout's front cockpit is so full we're over gross
;o)
This has been a long time brewing, but we always knew we'd return to Oregon
to retire (or whatever), and the time is now. So: look out all you guys
over in Hanford, Cool, Sacramento, or wherever... because Scout and I will
soon be coming to an airport near you ;o)
More later, as plans develop. Meanwhile, I've got a lot of packing to do.

Oscar,
I'd say we're the lucky ones to have you back on the West Coast. You are
certainly welcomed at Cool, but, at the very least, we'll organize a parade
along I-5 to wave at you as you pass by!!
Don't forget: West Coast Piet Gathering is June 4-5 at Frazier Lake! I doubt
if you have anything more important to do....;-)
We will need to discuss our route to Brodhead, too!

Three RV's on one trailer? You'd think those guys are afraid to fly

Subject: | Determining cable exit holes |
My Piet has all the major parts on and all the controls are operational. Locating
the cable exit holes is up in the air for me. I will get major heartburn taking
a hobby knife and slicing a hole in new fabric. Is there a sure fire way?
Am I worrying for naught?
Kevin I thought of you yesterday afternoon. Two Blackhawks were cruising along
about 150 feet. I was hoeing in the garden about 200 feet from my windsock. As
they passed by about 300 feet away I tipped my cap to them and when I did the
Blackhawk nearest me pulled up 60 then banked about 75 left turning in front
of me. When the other one saw what he was doing he did similar maneuvering. That
made my day! We have a lot of military traffic here at low altitude.... T34C,
TH-57, C-130, and V-22. Whiting NAS, Pensacola NAS, Eglin AFB, and Fort Rucker
Army.

Let's do some figgerin' here: it's about 1000 air miles from San Antonio
to Brodhead and I never was able to make it there. It's about 1700 air miles
from Medford to Brodhead. Wonder if I'll ever make it there?
More figgerin': 1700SM divvied up by 60MPH (keeping the math simple) gives
28 hours. I'll probably get to watch three, mebbe four sunrises on the way
from Oregon to Wisconsin, each way. As Dan Yocum knows, that's a lot of
time in the saddle... but stranger things have happened.

You're worrying for naught. Take your measurements from a point you can identify
with covering on, make good notes, and slice away when the time comes. Leather
patches are a nice way to solve any small inaccuracies.

Before putting the fabric on, tape pieces of paper in the area the wires
will come out cutting and pasting other pieces around the wire location
until the exact location is found. Mark the paper to reference the
structure under it (verticals, stringers,etc) , and label the pieces and pu
t
direction arrows if necessary. When the fabric is on, overlay the paper
guides over the fabric referencing the structure marks and you will have
the precise location of the holes. Brad Williams

Oscar,
I believe your plane used to be based at Corona airport in CA. Correct me if I'm
wrong. A friend of mine had it a while then I heard it went east. Anyway,
You are certainly welcome to stop by Fox Field in Lancaster CA on your way up.
I know that when I flew that route to Washington it was 70 degrees in Redding
when we left. I didn't wear a jacket, big mistake, I froze my tail off when
I got to the Shasta area. Brrr.
Enjoy Oregon, it's beautiful up there.

No, no. Not me. Kevin knows what 28+hrs in the saddle feels like. He
didn't look too hobbled over when I saw him at Brodhead. Of course, he
was leaning on Shelley most of the time... ;-)
I was lucky and had N8031 hand delivered to me by the previous owner, a
kid outta college with a much younger butt than mine. I've done 4.5hrs
at a stretch, but that's it.
There are older gents who have done longer hauls in a Hatz. The story
starts out like this:
"Remember back when you were a little kid. When you were riding your
bike, you werent really on a bicycle, you were flying in your biplane.
The parked cars, trash cans, the neighbors dog, any obstacles were the
clouds you were flying around. Remember the playing card in the spokes?
I was one of those kids..."
Read the rest at http://www.aerocraftsman.com/blakesburg-or-bust/.
Hope to see you at Brodhead, Oscar!
Cheers,
Dan

Oscar, if you decide you want to fly the I-80 route to the west coast,
please feel free to drop by Longmont, Colorado. You'd be welcome to
have a place to rest. We even have mogas on the field at LMO for
about a buck per gallon less than avgas. While the nominal elevations
may be higher, the density altitude in the summer can actually be
lower than along the I-10 route -- and the scenery is unbeatable. My

Congrats Oscar, I wish you the best with the move. A couple of thoughts,
you are most welcome in Des Moines (I35 and I80) anytime! Also, the fellow
that bought my RV8 had it shipped to the East coast. I was impressed with
the trailer which had 3 RV's on board, packed very well. I believe the cost
was reasonable. Wish I could remember the outfit's name. I'm sure you
could find their advertisement or info on the RV list.
Best wishes!

Subject: | Re: Corvair engine rebuilding |
Thanks to All,
Bill, I had not thought about an air leak but the discoloration on the head at
the top edge of #3 does indicate there could be a leak there.
Yes, the cylinders were painted by the previous owner. I am somewhat embarrassed
to admit that I have had this project since summer of 2005. It has resided
inside my shop but upstate ny can be humid at times and I do get rusting on my
tools if I don't keep them wiped down. 5 cylinders show paint with no sign
of rust but the 6th looks like the paint is slightly deteriorated and rust is
showing up. Not obvious but it is there. I surmise that the temp exceeded what
the paint was rated for and reduced its effectiveness.
I have emailed the pictures to WW and called, but he is a difficult man to sometimes
get a hold of. That is why I thought I would get some input here on the
forum.
Thanks again.

I asked that question of the builder of a sleek little antique homebuilt. His
cables exited through a hole in the fabric no bigger than a 22 shell. He basically
did what Brad is describing. He installed cables and measured before covering
and made a template for each side. That reminds me I need to do the same
before covering.

I'm not Oscar and I am not sure what studs you are talking about but I have removed
many studs through the years on engines- not aircraft. but putting a nut
on the end if you can reach it and welding them to the stud. as it sounds- it
is risky and you need to be a good and careful welder. ground to the nut and not
anywhere else on the engine and never arc to anything but the nut and stud
because current passing through cranks or other parts is destructive. but the
heat basically expands the case around the stud and after the stud and nut cools
a couple minutes it is generally able to be turned out,if that doesn't work
you are usually left with a flush or below flush stud that has to be drilled
out.I have welded for a living for many years and I would not say try it if you
are not sure of your abilities. Raymond. do not archive and let the flames begin

I agree with Raymond. I have done the same thing many times. Sometimes it may be
really stuck and wring the stud off... get another nut and weld it on again.
Don't give up until you have twisted it off flush. I have always used stick rods
for this.

Subject: | Christmas in April |
I just received my latest Aircraft Spruce order. Time to get back to work! This
is what $1000 will buy you! Doesn't look like much, but there is really more
there than it seems. I took my time and ordered the sizes as close as I could
leaving some fudge factor. Quality of the spruce looks good. Only one or two
pieces I would question and that is me just being picky. I used marine ply and
some local doug fir on the wings. Looking forward to working with spruce again.
ACS did a good job. That is a lot of cuts. There is a 4x8 sheet of 1/16 ply
under there they cut for me for the leading edge that I can install with very
little work. Packing and shipping was less than $100. Should keep me busy for
awhile!
Can't wait to get started on the fuse. I have had it drawn for awhile. The drawing
in the pic may be hard to see.

Subject: | Re: Corvair props |
Just curious, are you double-nutting, or using a proper puller, such
as the Snap-On collet type? Pulled many a stud out of junk cases with
plenty of heat and wax, using the Snap-On puller. Much better, in my
opinion.
On a side note, how about a couple pics of the bad studs....they may
actually be usable, and it's better if you don't disturb them....just
curious,
Ryan

They still won't budge. Any ideas? C

Now granted I haven't done this on a Corvair yet, (all my studs came out) but I
have had great luck with PB Blaster, sometimes a little heat helped, spark plug
on a fiero that was stuck, put as much pressure on it as I dared, sprayed
PB blaster on it, drove it a while to get it warm, repeat, and it all but fell
out! Same for the O2 sensor, I always keep PB in my box now
