    Subject: Re: Spins
    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. ----- Original Message ----- From: mark lee To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2011 2:10 PM 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. On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 10:03 AM, Graham Hansen <ghans@cable-lynx.net> wrote: <ghans@cable-lynx.net> 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
    From: "cjborsuk" <cjborsuk@yahoo.com>
    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). http://www.sportaviationonline.org/sportaviation/201108#pg96 Chuck - Manufacturing metal parts in Raleigh NC! 989CB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=348902#348902

    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 On 08/08/2011 12:06 PM, Robert S.

    Subject: marvel carb
    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. do not archive -------- Billy McCaskill Urbana, IL tail section almost done, starting on ribs soon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=348945#348945

    Billy Hi from UK. Thanks for clearing up the Piet type aircraft. I'm not from the Piet world but like them a lot. Belonging to this Pietenpol List is great as I have a similar age of design Parasol, The Corben Junior Ace. I'll send you a picture to keep your spirits up before the conquest of the ribs!

    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, Shad --- On Mon, 8/8/11, Robert S.

    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.

Does anyone use a checklist of items to tackle on an annual conditional inpection? I'm about to annual the GN-1 w/the help of a DAR. I thought there was once a list or two floating around the forum a yr or so ago that had some good stuff on it. Cannot seem to find it in the archives. Thx in advance..

    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. KMH Sent from my iPhone

    Larry, Don't search on "annual". Search on "condition inspection.". Jack posted his, and someone else posted theirs... I think there are 3 Word docs in the matronics archives. I'm not near my laptop, so I can't send you one directly. Dan -- Dan Yocum yocum137@gmail.com "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."

    Subject: New Crankshafts for Fords
    From: macz@peak.org
    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. --Mac in Oregon

    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.
