He showed me the brass leading edge separation was due to rivets failing and wood discoloration around the failed rivets. Later he said that one can inspect the two sides if each rivet to see if there is circle type cracking within the diameter of each rivet. Also he discovered the double overlap drilled rivet holes that may have been done during the reworked prop by a prop company, This was not detectable by visual means, before accident. The pilot, also building a Pietenpol, inspected his 76 X 42 Sensenich and found one defective rivet. SO A WORD TO THE WISE. From the wiser.

Is that a bean on the prop ? How soon did you flip the Mags off ? Did only one blade separate ? Other than hitting a couple beans, and failing the other blade And to think you had just circumcised Lake Michigan 360 degrees in the T craft. A good survival landing Mike, you and passenger survived without a scratch, Pieti Lowell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=349319#349319 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:28:20 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Contact info for Ken Perkins From: Don Rucker All, I understand in the past Ken Perkins has been a good source for some of the metal Piet parts.
