I have for sale two Carlisle 8.00x6 tires mounted on Matco wheels and bearings
plus Matco 3/4" axles. They were mounted on my GN-1 but only rolled in and out
of the hangar.
Please email me offline if interested.
Thanks,

| Subject: | Re: brake cables |
Richard, I'm using band brakes. I bought my brake cables at a local
bicycle store that caters to mountain bikes (we have a bunch of those
here in CO). I picked up 1.5mm (essentially 1/16") stainless steel
slick cables. I purchased them in 3000 mm lengths, which had to be
special ordered. I also picked up the housings at the same time.
They sell some that have an inner sheathing that offers ongoing
lubrication and are sized for the 1.5 mm sheathing. The whole thing
was pretty cheap. Whether any of it works, I don't really know yet.
But I like to think it holds the plane from surging forward when I'm
sitting in it making very loud airplane noises. Cheers, Ken

Mark,
Here's a great link that answers a lot of the questions I have before I
go to the list and potentially embarrass myself in front of all the
people who know a heck of a lot more than I do:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Amatronics.com+riblett+pietenpol
And, let's keep the airfoil discussion in an airfoil thread and Markle's
butt discussion in the Markle's butt thread, ok?
Thanks,
Dan

A very wise old bush pilot told me more than once. There are 2 things you
can never have too much of. Wing and horse power. Of course by wing he me
ant lift.

I'm right there with you too Greg. The stall is very very gentle. Obviously Mr.
Riblett has never flown a Piet. Quite a bold statement for someone who has
never experienced it firsthand! I've had the fortune of flying a handful of
them and they all behave the same. Very nice and gentle. I've never talked to
anyone that built the basic "plans" wing and felt the stall was anything but
very gentle.
I don't mean to rant on and on but I really do get tired of people that say negative
things about the Piet and its flying characteristics when they have never
experienced the original design themselves. So even if there has been a serious
scientific evaluation of the airfoil it doesn't mean a whole lot if the airplane
just doesn't behave the way they think it should.
I think I'm going to go enjoy stalling my airplane this evening. :)

Hello John,
Sorry about the tail wheel assembly. Did you get in touch with Ken Perkins ? He
said ," I have 12 ready to put on a Piet."
Glad to meet you and your lady, we are happy to have you at Brodhead.

Hi Guys
Just about to order some aluminum for my wing tank I have been through the archives
and see most people are using 5052 is there a reason to use 5052 rather than
6061?
Also thickness 0.040 or 0.050 seem to be the thickness used has anyone found this
to be to thin?
And while I am at it what grade and thickness have people used for there cockpit
coaming ?
Thanks
Carson

Carson,
You will want to stick with 5052, if for no other reason than it's far
easier to bend than 6061. Mine is .040 and sealed with Pro-seal. The first
air test found two leaks...patched those, then did a fuel test and do leaks
at all!...very easy.
Gary
