I don't think it would work well as pitch control, since it would so close to the
CG. I would think it would add some lift, if it is parallel to the wing. The
amount of added lift, would vary depending on the amount of power the engine
is developing, as it would be directly in the prop blast. My 2 cents worth.

I've never been able to post photos, so I forwarded some progress photos,
including some of the axle fairing, to Dan Yocum figuring he had both feet
firmly planted in the 21st century. (Dan, if you can't post photos either
would you forward them to someone who can?)
I'll be gone for the next few days.
Take care,
Douwe

I couldn't help but smile when watching this outstanding video of Rick Holl
and's Corvair-powered Pietenpol
video. (thank you Bill Church for the working link)
If you close your eyes after engine start and let your mind listen, Rick's
engine actually has the sound of a P-51
Rolls Royce Merlin engine in the lower RPM range. Magnificent Rick.
Rick's cockpit and instrument panels are incredibly clean looking without c
lutter or complexity and your workmanship
looks nothing short of impeccable !
And did I notice you wearing a color-coordinated long sleeved shirt Rick ?
Nice.
If you've never met Rick at Brodhead or Oshkosh he's a very unassuming type
who won't brag about the fact that he's
an FAA Certified Flight Instructor or about his professional accomplishment
s, yet he's been building for many years now
and attending Brodhead for a long time in the background-keeping at it, slo
wly but surely fabricating, learning, assembling,
and reaching for the bottom of the 9th when he'll get his Airworthiness Cer
tificate and start the second game of the
double header as starting pitcher when he starts flying his beautiful new P
ietenpol.
Stuff like this is why I haven't dropped off the list. Way cool.

I just got an email from Douwe this morning with some pictures of his
progress with the explicit instructions to post the images to the list.
Here they are.
As always, his work looks great. I'm really excited to see his finished
cowling, but I really like what I'm seeing.
Enjoy!

Awesome Rick! I just sent my engine off to Roy's Garage last week. Can't wait
to get it running, but I've got a ways to go before I'm ready for it.
I really like that MGL Engine Management System. That is the first time I've seen
one in operation... what do you think if it? Any quirks, or does it work
as advertised?
Your project is looking great!

Sorry I've been a little distant. I've been so busy lately I haven't had much
time to check this! I would like to try to make it but it's a little tough for
me to commit to it right now. We may be on vacation then. If we aren't I would

Well, it makes sense. You come down from the mountains and breathe that
thick Wisconsin air......
Thankfully your taste in airplanes and engines more than makes up for that.

Wow!!
Douwe, this airplane is surely in a class by itself, artistically speaking.
I don't think I have ever seen a homebuilt with this type of high-class ar
twork and attention to detail. I REALLY like the anti-rotation axle gizmo-m
ethod you have devised!! I am sure it will work. Are you related to Rube Go
ldberg? White tires......very cool.
We are going to have to create a whole new parking row for you at Brodhead.

Well, it looks as though the dreary prospect of rebuilding his Piet has really
taken its toll on Douwe's creativity and enthusiasm.
Just kidding.
WOW! That is a wild Art Deco cowling design you've come up with.
And white tires. Where do you get this stuff?
Really eager to see how this one turns out.
Hopefully the completion date isn't connected to the "hood ornament" (when pigs
fly).
