Subject: | Re: Project for sale, (transponder) |
That's how I interpret it. It was a concern for me as KSU is within the 30
nm ring for Cleveland and one reason for me opting to not have an electrica
l syst. That=2C and I'm a purist:)

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Project for sale=2C (transponder)
From: steve.emo58@gmail.com
Doug=2C
I went back and reread part 92.215 and my interpretation is as follows the
transponder requirement first only applies to Classes A=2C B=2C C airspace
and above 10=2C000 MSL unless it is less than 2500 AGL=2C and only applies
to aircraft within that airspace with an engine driven electrical system.
They then go through and list the class B airports. So those of us outside
of these airspace and in flat land such as Dayton OH are not effected. Fu
rther one needs to be inside the ring 30 nm ring for Class B and over the t
op of class B and lateral boundaries.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Lost and found
Has anyone noticed how the (allegedly) light-fingered Mr. Markle seems
to trot around the country visiting Piet builders who have shiny new
tools but nobody seems to ever be invited to visit his compound in OK?
Well friends, I have hatched a plan and scheduled a visit to his shop
and wanted you all to know about it so maybe some of your missing tools
could possibly be identified and returned!
I will be driving a hatchback which will carry a pretty good load but
if memory serves, there was at least one air compressor and a couch that
went missing and I think those will have to stay put. Hand and power
tools as well as fittings, drill bits, drawings and beet mugs can
probably be spirited away without much trouble.
Let me know what you suspect has been spirited away from your shop
during a Markle visit and I'll see what I can do to get it back for you.
I will bring the stuff to Brodhead if it won't overload the Piet.
Larry W. (the Pietenpol builder's friend)
Now that I consider the possibilities, I really would like some small
items myself. Hm-m-m-m.

Subject: | Avon ribbed antique motorcycle tyres |
Hi all...I am looking around for tyres for my 21" Buchanan rims and came across
these.
http://www.antiquetyres.com.au/21300
They have a load capacity of 230kg each and talking to the guy who laced my rims,
he said they usually have a hefty safety margin in that rating.
What tyres are others using and will this load rating be enough?

We've been doing it the first Saturday in June. It would be awesome if you

If you want a Johnson *style* ASI, there are plans out there in the

Thanks for the reply and for your effort in finding the information for me. I'll
get right on it. Will you be going to Broadhead? I owe you a drink.

Gary,
Thanks to you as well. I will keep trying to find Pfbeck although his listed email
of pfbeck@barnwellsc.com no longer seems to be a valid address.
I am pretty new to the forum and the "Piet" world as well, so am not sure what
you are referring to as far as "certain purists" goes.
I also ran across an old post by Kari-Ann Price who sells aftermarket kits.
Thanks again,
Charlie

Charlie,
3 yrs ago I was a newcomer, too, and relish those memories of excitement. You are
now amongst the finest group of aviators, near-to-be aviators and aircraft
builders in the world (present company excepted). However...
As a newcomer, you will be allowed only a few transgressions of mis-spelling Brodhead...the
Holiest of Holy Places in the Piet community. If you continue to
mis-spell Brodhead, in a very short time, you will receive a curt reply from a
certain former Marine, reminding you of the correct spelling of Brodhead. If
the transgression continues, you will begin to see unwonted items show up in your
mailbox at home...further transgressions will prompt a home visit from said
surely, former Marine, forcibly reminding you of the correct spelling of Brodhead.
He may even have a following of "certain purists", all good, well-intentioned
fellows, but serious non the less.
Just don't want that happen to you! Hope you make it to Brodhead this year. If
you do, please look for me!
Gary

Thanks a lot Hans! I am going to take my Advanced Ground Instructor test this afternoon
and after reading this, I am not sure that I can pass.
What I understand about flying is only related to this guys instructions in that
there is a somewhat similar vocabulary. Almost looks like it was run through
a computer translator.

Subject: | Another Cable Question |
Another cable question; in Bingelis books and in AC43 it says that 3/32 copper
oval cable sleeves only need to be crimped once. I am using 3/32 cable for the
tail brace cables and I know I have seen other Piets with 3/32 tail brace cables
but don't remember ever seeing just one crimp on the copper sleeve.
Is that what those of you using 3/32 cable are doing just one crimp? Tried doing
three last night as a test and it can be done but doesn't look well and just
one crimp makes the ends swell up like you stepped in the middle of a balloon.
Cheers,

Hi from England
I remember a few days ago someone was discussing 4 bladed Props and
maybe making one.
I have a series of old Cigarette Cards from 1919 and in the De Havilland
set are several 4 Bladed prop Aircraft.
This is a good example as it shows the blade angle and shape.
Regards

Another cable question; in Bingelis books and in AC43 it says that 3/32
copper oval cable sleeves only need to be crimped once. I am using 3/32
cable for the tail brace cables and I know I have seen other Piets with 3/32
tail brace cables but don't remember ever seeing just one crimp on the
copper sleeve.
Is that what those of you using 3/32 cable are doing just one crimp? Tried
doing three last night as a test and it can be done but doesn't look well
and just one crimp makes the ends swell up like you stepped in the middle of
a balloon.

Not exactly Pietenpol related, but I thought this might be of interest.

Liberty Foundation and B-17G "Liberty Belle"
June 15, 2011
All:
The following letter from Capt. Ray Fowler discusses in depth the events
leading to the airframe loss of the Liberty Foundation's B-17G Flying
Fortress "Liberty Belle" yesterday near Aurora, Illinois. Capt. Fowler is
the Chief Pilot for the Liberty Foundation.
Many of you have seen the sensational news video coverage and perhaps
innumerable still photographs of this accident. Please keep Capt. Fowler's
very succinct comments in mind whenever you see or discuss any media reports
and attending photographs or video regarding this very unfortunate event.
As bad as this mishap was, all aboard the aircraft exited quickly and
safely.
Quoting from Ray Fowler's letter, "There is wild speculation going on as to
the cause of our fire and the affect to other operators. Please let the
investigation run its course and report the findings. The NTSB and FAA were
quickly on the scene and we are working closely with them to aid in the
investigation. As soon as we receive some additional information, we will
release it via the website http://www.libertyfoundation.org
<http://www.libertyfoundation.org/> ."
Happy flying, safely!
Cheers,
Jim Zazas
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
First, let me start off by sincerely thanking everyone for the outpouring of
support that we are receiving. I am sorry that I have not yet had the
opportunity to return the many phone calls, text or e-mails that I am
receiving offering to help. Again, thank you for all of the kind words that
we are receiving and for incredible offers to help emotionally, financially
and/or with the recovery process. I hope this statement will help fill in a
few details that everyone is wondering about that led to the loss of our
"Liberty Belle".
Yesterday morning, both our P-40 and B-17 were scheduled to fly from Aurora,
Illinois to Indianapolis, Indiana. We were in Aurora for the weekend as a
part of our scheduled tour. Over the course of the previous week, we
completed a scheduled 25-hour inspection on the B-17 which was completed by
Saturday. On Saturday, the weather stayed below the required ceiling to give
any passenger flights, however the B-17 flew in the morning on a routine
training proficiency flight, performing several patterns. Following the
flight, other maintenance issues arose that required us to cancel our Sunday
flying schedule for repairs. The maintenance performed has not been, in any
way, associated to the chain of events that led to Monday's fateful flight,
but is being considered in the preliminary investigation. However, due to
the media's sensational (mis)reporting, there is a large amount of
misinformation that continues to lead the news.
Here is what we do know. Flying in the left seat of the B-17 was Capt. John
Hess. John has been flying our Liberty Belle since 2005 and one of our most
experienced B-17 pilots. He is an active Delta Air Lines Captain with over
14,000 hours of flying experience and flies a variety of vintage WWII
aircraft. In the right seat was Bud Sittic. While Bud is new to the Liberty
Foundation this year, he is also incredibly experienced with over 14,000
hours of flying time in vintage and hi-performance aircraft. He is a retired
Captain with Delta Air Lines.
The news misidentified the P-40 as flying chase during the accident. I was
flying our P-40, however I had departed 20 minutes prior to the B-17's
takeoff on the short flight to Indianapolis to setup for the B-17's arrival.
The aircraft flying chase was a T-6 Texan flown by owner Cullen Underwood.
Cullen is one of our rated B-17 Captains and an experienced aviator tagging
along as a support ship.
The takeoff of both aircraft was uneventful and proceeded on-course
southeast. Prior to exiting Aurora's airport traffic area, the B-17 crew and
passengers began investigating an acrid smell and started a turn back to the
airport. Almost immediately thereafter, Cullen spotted flames coming from
the left wing and reported over the radio that they were on fire.
As all pilots know, there are few emergency situations that are more
critical than having an in-flight fire. While it is extremely rare, it can
(and sometimes does) indiscriminately affect aircraft of any age or type.
In-flight fires have led to the loss of not only aircraft, but often can
result in catastrophic loss of life. It requires an immediate action on the
flight crew, as the integrity of aircraft structure, systems and critical
components are in question.
Directly below the B-17 was a farmer's field and the decision was made to
land immediately. Approximately 1 minute and 40 seconds from the radio
report of the fire, the B-17 was down safely on the field. Within that 1:40
time frame, the crew shutdown and feathered the number 2 engine, activated
the engine's fire suppression system, lowered the landing gear and performed
an on-speed landing. Bringing the B-17 to a quick stop, the crew and
passengers quickly and safely exited the aircraft. Overhead in the T-6,
Cullen professionally coordinated and directed the firefighting equipment
which was dispatched by Aurora Tower to the landing location.
Unlike the sensational photos that you have all seen of the completely
burned B-17 on the news, you will see from photos taken by our crew that our
Liberty Belle was undamaged by the forced landing and at the time of
landing, the wing fire damage was relatively small. The crew actually
unloaded bags, then had the horrible task of watching the aircraft slowly
burn while waiting for the fire trucks to arrive. There were high hopes that
the fire would be extinguished quickly and the damage would be repairable.
Those hopes were diminished as the fire trucks deemed the field too soft to
cross due to the area's recent rainfall. So while standing by our burning
B-17 and watching the fire trucks parked at the field's edge, they sadly
watched the wing fire spread to the aircraft's fuel cells and of course, you
all have seen the end result. There is no doubt that had the fire equipment
been able to reach our aircraft, the fire would have been quickly
extinguished and our Liberty Belle would have been repaired to continue her
worthwhile mission.
Let me go on the record by thanking the flight crew for their
professionalism. Their actions were nothing short of heroic and their quick
thinking, actions and experience led to a "successful" outcome to this
serious in-flight emergency. John and Bud (and Cullen) did a remarkable job
under extreme circumstances and performed spectacularly. While the leading
news stories have repeatedly reported the "crash" of our B-17, fact is they
made a successful forced landing and the aircraft was ultimately consumed by
fire. Airplanes are replaceable but people are not and while the aircraft's
loss is tragic, it was a successful result.
This leads me into discussing the exceptional safety record of the Boeing
B-17 and to hopefully squash the naysayers who preach we should not be
flying these types of aircraft. Since we first flew the "Liberty Belle" in
December of 2004, we have flown over 20,000 passengers throughout the
country and if you count our historic trip to Europe in 2008, worldwide. Of
the other touring B-17s, some of which that have been touring for over 20
years, they have safely flown hundreds of thousands of people. The
aircraft's safety record is spectacular and I am certain the overall cause
of our issue, which is under investigation, will not tarnish that safety
record. In fact, as many of you know, other B-17 have suffered significant
damage (although not as bad as ours!), only to be re-built to fly again.
>From a passenger carrying standpoint, I can think of few aircraft that offer
the same level of safety as the 4-engine "Flying Fortress." As mentioned
earlier, in-flight fires are extremely rare and certainly could affect any
powered aircraft under certain circumstances. I would put my children today
in any of the other touring B-17s to go fly. I suggest to anyone that was
thinking of doing so when a B-17 visits your area to do so without giving
our loss any thought.
There is wild speculation going on as to the cause of our fire and the
affect to other operators. Please let the investigation run its course and
report the findings. The NTSB and FAA were quickly on the scene and we are
working closely with them to aid in the investigation. As soon as we receive
some additional information, we will release it via the website
http://www.libertyfoundation.org <http://www.libertyfoundation.org/> .
The ultimate question remains, where does the Liberty Foundation go from
here? After the investigation and recovery, we will determine our options.
We are still committed to the restoration and flying of World War II
aircraft. Again, we appreciate the support and people offering to help get
us back flying.
Please check back for updates. I will close by thanking everyone that made
our tour so successful. From the first day of the B-17's restoration, thank
you for all of you who labored to get her flying over the initial
restoration years and to everyone that has worked on her out on tour since.
Thank you to the crewmembers, tour coordinators and volunteers who gave up
weekends and countless hours to support her on the road. And finally, thank
you to the passengers, donors and media patrons that flew aboard and
everyone who supported our cause. Hopefully, this will not be the end of the
story, but a new beginning.
Regards,
Ray Fowler
The Liberty Foundation, Chief Pilot

You'll have no problem finding Gary... he'll be the guy in a headlock, having a
knot popped on his head by said former Marine. Ha!

Hi Mark,
Yep. I am about 3 miles south of the Cookson Airport which hosts the Wild Onions
and Eggs fly-in. Snake Creek Wilderness is a paved strip on the mountain top
3,500 ft long and 150 ft. wide. The next time you are in the area, give me
a call.
Charlie

Will do Charlie. Seems that I saw another event listed down there in the Vintage
newsletter.
Just wanted to add this so I could help keep the thread on topic.
Rogers asked-
Does anyone know where I can find some info to build an old fashion Johnson airspeed
indicator?
Nobody really answered his question. I asked the same question a while back and
someone very promptly sent me two close-up photos of their Johnson setup (one
static, one in flight) but I don't remember who it was (black wing struts, yellow
wings). Probably Chuck "Baby Oil" Gantzer or Ed Grentzer. I would be glad
to send out those photos to anyone who wants them; you could easily build
one just like it by eyeball, along with this narrative info found in the archives:
============
It uses a .047" music wire, with 2 1/2 coils, and has a leg that is bent perpendicular
to lock the coil from rotating, and is inserted into the back plate.
The coil is 3/4" in diameter and is spaced off the backing plate with a threaded
thru bushing that is 3/8" long. From the center of the coil, to the tip of
the pointer, is 7". The bushing that is in the center of the coil is 3/8" diameter
and is about 3/32" long. The bolt is about a #6, and on each side of the
coil is a plastic washer that is 7/8" O.D. The coil and pivot point is covered
with a molded plastic teardrop shape fairing, and has a slot cut for the pointer
to travel in. The sweep of the arc is 70. The backing plate with the
indicator markings is .040 aluminum, probably 2024. The numbers are 20 thru 90
mph. The angle plate that the relative wind pushes against is 1 1/4" X 2 1/8"
X .030" thick, with the pointer is on the 3/8" leg of this angle, which is
next to the backing plate. To attach the music wire to the angle plate, it has
a small aluminum block that measures 1/4" X 1/4" X 3/4". The .040" wire is
drilled thru length wise, and has two #2 (or smaller) set screws to secure the
plate, wire, and block.

Gary,
Thanks to you as well. I will keep trying to find Pfbeck although his listed
email of pfbeck@barnwellsc.com no longer seems to be a valid address.
I am pretty new to the forum and the "Piet" world as well, so am not sure
what you are referring to as far as "certain purists" goes.
I also ran across an old post by Kari-Ann Price who sells aftermarket kits.
Thanks again,
Charlie
