Gary From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Charles Campbell Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 10:23 AM To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Metal C/S gasoline tank I sent this originally to Gary Booth's address, but they kicked it back saying that the address failed -- for some reason. So I'm sending it again on the Piet list. Gary, I'm just about to the point of building up my center section. I was originally planning on making a C/S tank of composites but with the advent of Ethenol in our gasoline I figured I had better build one of metal. I remembered a picture you posted last December of your gas tank. I have some questions: 1. What is its capacity and it's dimensions? I moved my two outboard ribs out as far as possible, and raised the tank above the wing (Tiger Moth style) and estimate capacity to be a bit over 16 gal. 2. I assume it is made of aluminum -- is that correct? If so, what grade and thickness of aluminum did you use? .040 5052. 3. What kind of sealer did you use? Pro-seal from ACS. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ps890.php 4. Are they hardware store rivets or did you get them from an A/C materials supply? Avex pop rivets, left over from a previous project, but I think you can get those at ACS. 5. Is the top of the tank covered? I will be making a fiberglass cover, only because this method leaves an unattractive exterior. 6. What are the two large rectangular holes in the top of the tank? They are for future access to the tank, in case I develop leaks. They were also handy to see inside with a mirror and touch up any areas that appeared to not have any sealant oozing out.none were evident. It was also convenient to locate the filler neck in one panel, for easy manufacture. 7. Do you have any more pictures of the tank -- maybe in process of building? I'll send some tonight. 8. Do you have any plans? If so, how could I get a set? Design was similar to Jim Markle's, but the whole shape was merely traced off of the ribs, with a little extra added to the top. My tank mirrors the bottom of the center section. I would really appreciate any information you can give me. Your tank looks about what I need. I can't weld so a tank made of steel is out.

In particular one cylinder (#3) showed signs of having been much hotter than the other. I was concerned about what may have been the cause as my engine was supposed to have been overhauled according to W Wynne's manual. There were some things I wanted to change so I disassembled it. I found some problems which confirmed that I need to see just what the other guy did before me. I am getting ready to take it to Corvair College #20 in a couple of weeks and re assemble it there. A couple of you suggested contacting W. Wynne. I tried both email and phone to no avail and also emailed Roy's Garage who is hosting the upcoming Corvair College but no response. I was getting frustrated so I started searching on line in the corvair forums and found some pretty interesting info. I have attached 2 articles about cleaning out the slag on your cooling fins. Those of you that are building corvair engines should look at this, especially the illustrations. I took another look at my heads and found that the melted alum. that I thought was from someone going wild with a torch trying to heat some bolts was in fact left over slag form the casting process. My offending cylinder that showed signs of being hot had no air flow through the head at all. I am working on mine now with a keyhole saw but have a long way to go. I'll bet I have a half cup of alum shavings from each head so far. If you don't know what to look for it is easy to miss this. I hosted my EAA chapter 2 weeks ago which included 3 A&P's and a tech councilor. They were really helpful even though none had work on a corvair engine. I think I am on the right track now with no major difficulties that a few hundred bucks won't remedy. I got the project pretty cheap so I guess I should expect that. Just thought I would share what I have learned. Maybe I will meet some of you at Corvair College 20. -------- Jon Coxwell GN-1 Builder Recycle and preserve the planet Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=340086#340086 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/head_fin_clean_up2_213.pdf ________________________________ Message 16 ____________________________________ Time: 09:32:46 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage question From: "tdudley@umn.edu" I'm framing the extended fuselage and have all the struts positioned, measured, and measured again (and again and again and again). Everything is square and falls over the centerline, but just one thing doesn't seem right. At the point where the plans call for 11" (see the plan picture), it seems just a little narrow and the longeron seems to "S/snake" just a bit at this point on the bottom of the fuselage only, not the top (whereas it is a natural appearing curve along the rest of the fuselage). The width at the top and the bottom of the fuselage measure the same at 11". Again, I've measured this repeatedly and all along the fuselage things are correct. I am not trying to overthink this, but before putting epoxy to it, I just wanted to know if anyone else found something similar or ended up using a different dimension here. The "natural" curve seemed to end up around 12" but this would correct the appearance of the bottom of the fuselage only and not the top (which looks correct at 11"). Sorry if the question is a rookie one, just looking for a thought or suggestion. Thanks.

But based on the many, many model planes I've built using the same techniques, I'd say to ease the pressure off on the clamp until the curve looks right, measure that distance and cut a new cross piece to glue in there.
