Just practice stall recovery. Every spin starts with a stall. If you
can recover from a stall you have already done the important part of
spin recovery. I used to do a spin with a student who was about ready
for solo, just to show him what it was like. I stopped that when one of
my students quit the training because the spin scared the desire to fly
out of him. 2 cents wortth.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Spins
Does the Piet behave enough like a cub to be able to practice some
spin recovery and have it translate.It doesn't sound like most Piets are
in any way prone to spinning.Good recovery is a reflex that I want to
have anyway.I will have to start from scratch with the flight
training.So I need to get an idea of what to look for that would help
with a Piet.No doubt about it,I'm going to have a very full dance card
for several years.My goal is to never get a Piet in that situation but
build one that would survive at least in theory.Money,guns,lawyers and
good flight training should help with the other problems,I hope.
Please don't archive.I want them to forget about this in time.

I'm with Jack Phillips on this one. A few years ago I submitted a
post on this topic and it should be languishing in the archives, so I
'll not repeat it.
I have been flying my Piet for over forty years and have never spun
it. Some reasons:
1. Type-certified production airplanes are built according to a
pretty rigid specification in order that each aircraft will have
predictable and safe flying characteristics, including spin behavior and
spin recovery. One Piper J3, for example, will behave in the same way as
all others of the type, provided they all conform to the original
specification.
2. Homebuilts tend to vary and no two of the same design are exactly
alike.Variations in CG location, rigging and other deviations from the
plans may create problems in spin behaviour and recovery.
3. There is no space for a parachute in my Pietenpol and I am not
inclined to risk losing my airplane by having to abandon it, even if
there was room for both me and a parachute. (Note that the weight of a
parachute would be well aft and could have a bad effect on spin
behavior.)
Back in the 1930s several pilots I knew used to spin Pietenpols with
heavy Ford A engines up front, but these guys were young, lean and light
(also brave!). Presumably the CG was far enough forward or they wouldn't
have been able to tell me about it.
Personally, I will spin a type-certified airplane provided it
conforms to the original type specification and is not placarded against
spinning, but I will not do it with my Pietenpol. If I need spin and
recovery practice I'll use an unmodified Luscombe or Taylorcraft..

Subject: | Wise words from a wise man |
In the lated Sport Aviation magazine there is an article written by Dick Vangrunsven
from Van's Aircraft that should be required reading for anyone building
an airplane. He talks about adding weight to the aircraft and making changes to
the plans. Never a hot topic here. ;)
Not sure the link will work, but the article starts on page 96. The story he refers
to in the June edition (p.32), is about a guy who built a beautiful RV-10
(I can't find the link. That website needs some help).

We purchased an 0 200 complete with new mags,a remanufactered marvel
carb with 30 min. run time. It hadn't been run for 2 years and it starts
easy but it has a very bad hesitation when pushing the throttle. The
pump works good and it runs good and sounds good . We put a new kit
($300.00) in it and soaked it for a couple days but it didn't help.Tha
carb is part # 10-4894-1 marvel. We took a carb off a culver cadet and
put it on and it runs beautiful. Does anyone have any suggestions on a
remedy. Thank you,Bob

Hi Bob,
Check out the following page of collected wisdom of Harry Fenton:
http://bowersflybaby.com/tech/fenton.htm
In particular search for the term 'Marvel' and you'll find a few
articles regarding these carbs. The one I'm looking at is called "A65
Hesitiation/Miss" (yes, that's a typo). The summary is this:
"You probably have some blocked bleed holes in the carb. If you look
into the carb throat, you will see a series of holes running vertically
in the bore. As the butterfly opens, more of the holes are exposed.
There is an airbleed circuit which provides the transition from idle to
cruise power settings. I'm pretty sure that this is the problem. Could
be that the throttle shaft is too loose in the carb housing and air is
being pulled past the elongated shaft holes. By the way, I'm assuming
that you have a Marvel Schebler MAS carb. The only fix is to get the
carb to a shop to run on a bench."
Best!
Dan

before you unblock bleed holes=2C you need to make sure what ones are what.
There is a vent hole in some carburetors that has to be blocked in some a
pplications. If you have ever seen a tailwheel aircraft with a C85 that dr
ipped all the time=2C it is a sure bet the carb came off of an Ercoupe or s
ome other nosewheel (training wheel) type aircraft. The solution is to blo
ck a certain port=2C although I cannot recall how to locate and identify it
. A carb shop could probably help.

Gerry, that's a Grega GN-1 in the photo with the pod attached to the wing strut.
Not exactly a Piet, but close. The pod should work on a Piet just as well
as on the GN-1. I don't think that I'd put a lot of heavy stuff in a cargo pod
either on the wing strut or hanging from the belly. I'd restrict it to bulky
but lightweight stuff like sleeping bags, small tent, change of clothes, etc.
Just my $.02.

I had an engine failure in a Navy SNJ. I think it was carb ice. I dead
stick landed at an auxilliary air field. Restarted the engine and it
checked out fine so I took off and went back to main base. When that engine
quit, man it really got quiet all of a sudden. Don't want it to happen
again.

Posibly the wrong size main-jet-is installed, The ma3spa has several di
fferent applications, I think there are different size-venturis for the m
a3spa series as well.- If you can identify what pn's (jets, venturi) are
installed you could look up which pn numbers are supposed to be installed i
n an ilistrated parts catalog.- One more thought, Is it a lean condition
or a overly rich hesitation (loading up).- If it is too rich on throttle
up, one W.A.G., maybe the accelrator pump piston arm (actuation arm-to pist
on connection thingy) is in the wrong hole allowing more fuel to be squirte
d into the venturi (longer stroke), thus flooding it out.
-
My 2 cents worth, let us know what fixes it,

I did, three weeks after my first flight in my Pietenpol.
Engine out was caused by my flawed fuel system.
I orginally had a 2 1/2 gallon header tank behind the firewall this header
tank was vented in a high pressure area.
While the main tank was vented in low pressure area.
The short of it, when the 2 1/2 gallon Header tank was empty the engine qui
t.
The header tank started filling again when I was stationary on the Ground.
No damage, just a lesson learned.
Needles to say fuel system has been changed.

When I started flying challenger ultralights the first thing I learned was to cut
power at 3 thousand feet and land back at the airport! That airplane could
gulide anywhere! No fear of engine out as it taught me to fly the plane and land
safe.

Don't search on "annual". Search on "condition inspection.". Jack posted his, and

Subject: | New Crankshafts for Fords |
I just ran across an announcement that SCAT Enterprises, which is
well-known for cranks for racing VWs and lately for newer Ford V-8 blocks,
is now offering Chromoly forged cranks for Model As and Ts.
They are apparently counterweighted, accurately machined and balanced and
micropolished. I assume they are for insert bearings, but the
announcement didn't say one way or the other.
Sound interesting for Ford aficionados who can't find a good, straight,
stock crank.

There have been counter balanced cranks available for Ts for years.They are
made from heat treated Spheroidal Graphite Iron.It is a surprise that this
is new for the A.The T cranks were over 1,400 dollars three years ago.I
don't remember them being drilled.They make a lot of difference to the T
engines bearing life.These Chromoly Forged A Cranks might really be a good
thing.
