Curt is right. It was all he could do to hold back the screaming mass with

the pilot seat...well, that's what such events are for.
Nevertheless, I have decided to put some effort into re-pitching my prop.

Yesterday was the First Annual Nor-Cal Truck Pull. -With a record crowd,
from as far as Texas and cheers from the horse stables, first time entrant,
Gary Boothe's mighty Corvair powered AirCamper ran flawlessly. -With
260 lbs of thrust, it strained against -the ropes trying to tame it. -W
ithout
actually moving the truck, He was easily the winner!
Upon post-run inspection, it was discovered, that Gary's pilot, Curt put hi
s
weight into the pull. -While holding the brakes to prevent the clip-winge
d
Piet from getting airborne, he pushed his dairy-air too hard into the back
of the seat. Gary now has a Broke Back Piet. With some reinforcement,
posting of pictures, detailed description and sketch-up drawings, he'll be
ready for another run in less time that it takes Kevin to change a broken
spoke.

You can get the aircraft grade from B&B for around $8 each, and I doubt

total. Just my $.02

Subject: | external static port |
Hi all,
I finally got my new static and pitot system hooked up and lo and behold
it's not quite working as I expect it to. The static port just isn't
working right - it's providing a source of ram air instead of static
air. This is the system I'm using from ACS:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/unheatedptubes3.php
Maybe the static port isn't parallel to the air flow - I'll try
re-aligning it.
But, in any case, is anyone else using an external static port, or is
everyone just leaving the static ports open on the back of their
instruments?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan - Tried both ways and the results were identical. Left it vented inside the
instrument panel and the actual static port is filling a hole hooked to nothing.

Subject: | Idea about front cockpit side door |
Hello,
I know this topic was discussed before; but I just want discuss an idea about it.
I agree that cut a longeron is a bad solution/idea/etc, the fuselage look so clean
with them.. but the big problem when cut one is the lost of compression and
tension fuselage the longerons hold .
The solutions I saw for this in the web was reinforce the side panels a lot whit
others wood pieces, etc; but I ask, it is possible to restore the longeron integrity
with a kind of join that we can put and take out easily? I thought in
this draw I did, one side of the central piece (it could be square iron tube)
attached to one end, and the other we can fixed with a couple of bolts. It will
give us a little work open and close it, but I think the stiffnes of all the
piece could be restored with something like this.... ;o)
what do you think? any comments?
regards

Looks like it would work, but by the time you got your passenger bolted
in they would feel like an astronaut. One advantage of the lack of door
is you can be more selective of your passengers. I've flown four 80
year olds in mine, and a few of them needed help getting in and out, but
if you put a step on your landing gear legs, it can be done.

You need to calculate the transitional loads through the frame structure, one section

Yep, that's one thing I'm sure of. The ASI *is* registering, but it's
registering much lower than I expected, and the VSI was showing a
constant 2000fpm dive state even when I was climbing. Unhooking the
tube to the static source behind the instrument panel brought things
back into line, but still pretty far off - just like it was with the old
pitot system.
I was hoping that the original problem I was trying to solve was leaky
plumbing, but now it looks like the ASI is broken: indicated 50mph on
the ASI is really about 60mph. 65mph is about 85mph. I can use it with
these numbers since I know the offset, but I'd rather have it be accurate.
I still need to finish my Johnson ASI that the EAA published plans for
in Sport Aviation.
Gerry Holland in the UK has his static port near the tail (thanks for
the pict, Gerry). This is the same arrangement that a few glass gliders
that I know of, but I was under the impression that this can't be done
on a power AC because of the induced airspeed from the prop.
Anyway, back to the drawing board.
Thanks!

Subject: | Re: Idea about front cockpit side door |
Mario,
There are no dimensions given in your sketch, so it's really impossible to give
a definitive, true answer, but in general, I'd say that this is not a feasible
design.
First off, it looks as though there are a number of bolts located very close to
the ends of the wood pieces. That is not a good design practice, as the bolts
will just pull through the wood.
Secondly, very short fittings as you have drawn, would result in concentrated stresses
on the wood at the fittings.
And thirdly, the practicality of such an arrangement, where a door must be secured
with bolts that need to be removed to get in to the seat, then reinstalled,
and tightened properly before flight, then repeated again after flight, is
much too cumbersome to be considered an advantage. The likelihood of the bolts
not being secured properly EVERY time is extremely high.

Axel,
When you had the static port outside, what kind did you have and where
was it placed/arranged? It's just odd to me that this one is generating
ram pressure.

Dan,
I'm using a static port. Don't know if it's any real benefit from just
leaving the ports open on the back of the instruments. Maybe I should try
opening them up - I might get more airspeed and get to Brodhead in 10 hours
instead of 12 :-)

Hi all,
I finally got my new static and pitot system hooked up and lo and behold
it's not quite working as I expect it to. The static port just isn't
working right - it's providing a source of ram air instead of static
air. This is the system I'm using from ACS:

Maybe the static port isn't parallel to the air flow - I'll try
re-aligning it.
But, in any case, is anyone else using an external static port, or is

Subject: | Re: Pietenpol Sky Scout 10718 |
Alright guys, I've been trying to find that plane for some time now. It is one
of the two scouts that Bernie built. One of them had the model A (it's in Australia
now) and this one had the Model T in it. The story I get is that a neighbor
challenged Bernie to to fly the Model T engine. This is the plane he
did it with. Chris rebuilt the plane using everything he could from the original
airframe. I think he saved about 20 percent of wood and built the rest new.
Chris also lightened up the engine as much as he could buy replacing as many
bolts as he could with aluminum ones and putting on an aluminum head. He also
replaced the big heavy wheels with the ones you see.
When Chris died the engine was at his house in Reseda CA and the plane was at El
mirage dry lake bed in the high desert in CA. Therefor the engine and plane
got separated. Both disappeared until now.
Back in 1996 when I was at Brodhead, Gar Williams let me fly his Scout which was
the A powered one that Bernie built. About two months later when I flew out
to the lake bed to see Chris he asked me if I would like to fly his scout. I
jumped at the chance. It was very tail heavy and the lake bed is about 2500
feet above sea level. It was a short flight (about 10 minutes) and it didn't
climb to good with only20 HP. Anyway it's in my log book. Gar's airplane was
like flying a sports car. I'd like to have Chris's plane if he ever wanted to
sell it.
Chris was a neat guy. He did have a hand with the batmobile and he was also an
avid bike rider. He rode his bicycle across the USA several time that I know
of.
Anyway, thanks for the pics. Tell the guy he has a buyer for it should he want
to sell it.

After going back and looking at the photos again I must admit that I am wrong on

It looks solid enough to rebuild again.

I think that is at Brodhead. He towed it there and assembled it for display.
Not sure if anyone flew it when it was there.

Dan,
That is the same one I am using.
Mine is mounted under the wing inboard of the LH wing strut attachment, out
side the prop blast
I have never notice a abnormal change when slipping the plane (not aligned
with the airflow).
Only have Altimeter and ASI connected.
Did you check if the pitot is not leaking in to the static port.
The design is fairly crude and some of the welding could have created a pin
hole.

Subject: | Two Part Post- need help in SE Ohio looking at a fuselage |
To the forum-
I have found a welded steel tube fuselage on Barnstormers.
http://barnstormers.com/listing.php?id=578491
He has sent me pictures which I can upload if anyone is interested. The seller
says he is a welder by profession and TIG welded it about 5 years ago and stopped
at that point. he is building something with an enclosed cockpit as he decided
it was too cold up there to fly the Piet year round.
Here are my questions-
1. What are the pluses and minuses of the steel tube fuse?
2. I just do not know value, but $1000 dollars seems like a good price. Your thoughts?
3. I am a little nervous sending a Grand to someone I do not know for something
sight unseen. Are there any forum members that are in the SE Ohio area that might
be able to go take a look for me? I would be happy to reimburse for a tank
of 100LL if someone s looking to do something other than a $100 hamburger. The
fuse is in Washington WV, about 35 miles east of Athens OH.

Pro
About 35 pounds lighter than wood.
Con
Prints are drawn for wood i.e. mounting things gets to be an exercise. You cant
just glue a reinforcing block and screw to it however, adding tabs for things
like seat-belts are easy if you can weld.
Note
Check pictures for lots of tabs (for mounting seats etc). Hopefully, hes dosed
the inside of the tubes with linseed oil to prevent internal rusting. Obtain
metal fuselage supplemental drawing (if you dont have one) and compare truss
layout.

Hi Terry,
This is about a 2-1/2 hr. drive south of me. My only concern is that
I'm no judge of welding quality, especially the ins & outs of what's
good aircraft practice. $1000 sounds like a decent price - fuse only?

If it's there,this could get good! Just rub it in a bit on a T doesn't have
enough power and pour a bit of salt in the wound. Some of those T guys are
still building racers and hill climbers.That crude 25hp engine can be pushed
up over 145hp using mainly reproduction racing parts.But how on a scout the
crank was supported is a bit of a mystery to me. In a factory engine the oil
pan supports the transmissions rear bearing which holds the crank in
alignment. That made the oil pan the most difficult part of the T to
manufacture. The scout probably never got a fair shake with the T engine in
