| Subject: | Re: 1911 pusher, and piet |
I think Bob Coolbaugh was flying the leg from Plymouth to Porter Co. There were
low ceilings and a stiff wind out of the North. Watching the Curtiss on final
was like watching some of the early films of the Wright brothers flying the Wright
B flyer. As Bob came in on final the Curtiss Pusher did not seem stable
in pitch. You could see him climbing and decending in fairly rapid oscilations.
I heard that the wind was giving him some problems.

Jack P., I don't think they had 164 C.I. Corvairs in 1929 either, oh well, thats
what you get these days I guess. It was neat to see it head west to Valpo,
the wind kicked up just enough that it looked like he had to wrestle it a little.

It was built by Bob Coolbaugh and I think his goal was to complete it
for the 100th anniversary of naval flight - the Pusher was the first AC
to fly off a carrier in 1911. Google on "Bob Coolbaugh curtiss pusher"
and there's tons of stuff out there.
Enjoy,

| Subject: | Fuel Tank Bending forms |
Hi Gang:
Did anyone get to see the forms that I gave Doc.? These Maple blocks were cut to
fit the 612 airfoil and almost 3 inches thick. One clamps the precut Aluminum
between these blocks leaving 1/2" wide tab all the way around and with a hammer
turn the edges 90 Deg,, one left and one right . The strap clamps that were
there are used to hold the flat sheet around the ends, and welding will be very
easy and non warping, I had 4 tanks made this way.
I also left 2 cardboard rib forms that are marked to show where you punch the stitch
holes, 1 for the prop blast area with closer distant than the second one
2, balance of the stitching.When rolled on the surface of the wing, transfer
the marks, punch holes and with a strong light, the stitch is a one man job.

The only plans available are the ones in the manual. I used the drawings of the
fittings only as a guide, especially the fittings on the inside and outside parts
of the wooden gear legs. These fittings need to be matched to the actual
gear legs you construct. I don't recall what gage I used. I'll measure and repost
later today.

Thanks Ben. I will be adding guides once the new hardware is correct.
To clarify, I am not saying the plans are wrong, I just messed mine up! Since I
made them once, doing them again should go a little quicker.

Ken,
I assume that when you say "the manual", you are referring to the 1932 Flying and
Glider Manual, and therefore you are asking about the straight axle, Jenny-style
gear. I agree that the tiny drawing in the EAA reprint is extremely difficult
to read, but there is a larger drawing available. The Pietenpol family offers
for sale a large scale drawing for the original landing gear. See this link,
and scroll down to Product#7:

Seems like there was a Pusher hanging in the Tulsa Airport many years ago.

OK and here is where I'm really straining the old memory.Is that Tulsa hung
Curtis pusher built without a canard?Or if it has one isn't it a very
different model than the 1911 flying replica.Also in the 60s there was a
Ryan trainer at Harvey Young Airport overgrown with weeds.I wanted it so bad
I could taste it.I saved up enough money that I had a fair offer by the time
I was 15.My dad kept saying no.If nothing else I wanted to hang it in the
hay loft to get it out of the weather.That's the kind of memories that just
make me wonder"what if".
