Hi Bob,
McMaster-Carr is a great resource but that part number is mild steel.
The part number for 4130 steel in size 1 1/5" X .120 is 89955K17.

George,
I got your Paypal posting. Do you know whether or not I will have to pay
duty on the package? Also, I do not get paid until the 15th of
September, so it will be another week before I can send the money out to
you. I appreciate your patience, but if someone else wants to purchase
and can pay sooner, I understand.
I will talk to you in a few days.

Subject: | Re: so much discussion about props |
Thanks Jerry
Actually I was looking for a resource that would tell me or help me determine what
those needs are. Long before I make a selection error and commit to purchasing
a prop that does not suit my application or my needs. No need in buying an
inferior model if it doesn't meet the full measure of the application.
Additionally I can see the time in the not too distant future where I will be on
need and in the market for a prop. so now is a good time to be researching,learning,
shopping or building a prop.

Subject: | Re: Push pull set-up |
Ken,
It's impossible to give any definitive answers, since there are no dimensions provided,
but unless you have redesigned your elevator bellcrank, I don't think
you will get the travel you need. It appears from your photos that your push/pull
tube connected to the bellcrank is located at the same level as the connecting
tube that joins the rear and front sticks, and it also appears that you
have welded on the tabs for cable attachment (per the plans). It should be fairly
simple to see that the push/pull tube will not travel nearly as far as the
cable attachment points, therefore the result at the bellcrank will not be the
same.
You would be wise to take Oscar's suggestion, and build a full scale mock-up of
your stick/bellcrank/elevator horn arrangement and see what you get.

Subject: | Re: Push pull set-up |
Bill,
Understand. I made my bell crank outer arm attachments outside my fuse similar
to that of Dick N. pietenpol from Mpls. The great thing about this is I can change
the length (increase or decrease) of the outer bell crank arms for more throw
with less stick movement (if needed and vise versa)and, the cable will not
ride on the horizontal surface of the tail section.
I did a mock-up and found 20 degree upward and 18 degree downward movement of the
outer bell crank arms at their current length. Interested in what degrees of
upward and down ward movement is needed for full control movement and the amount
of stick travel from front to rear. I have 6 1/2" (approx) of stick movement(at
the seat level not the top of the stick) measuring with a ruler running
from pilot seat top to the rear passenger seat back keeping it level for reference.
I am keeping to plans. The front seat stops the front stick and the passenger seat
back stop the rear stick.
Is this correct? or am I missing something?

Subject: | Re: Push pull set-up |
Ken,
Since you are modifying the arrangement from that shown in the plans, you need
to ensure that your modifications will result in basically the same performance
as the plans-built system.
The net result you are looking for is to ensure that the control surfaces will
deflect the proper amount based on normal control stick movements. The plans do
not specify the recommended throws for each of the different control surfaces,
and there has been some discussion about this in the past (check the archives).
However, in the UK, homebuilt aircraft are much more regulated than in North
America, and the Light Aircraft Association has produced a set of Type Acceptance
Data Sheets for each aircraft approved for manufacture in the UK, and
there is one for the Pietenpol Air Camper (see link below). Page 4 of the latest
revision of the Pietenpol TADS lists 20 up and 20 down for the recommended
elevator deflections.
The number of degrees of deflection of the control stick or bellcrank arm is less
important than the actual deflection of the control surfaces. However, the
length of the bellcrank should be very close to the dimensions of the elevator
control horn connections, so the deflections of the two should also be very close.
I would suggest that you add the elevator control horns to your mock-up and see
what your resulting elevator deflection is. I haven't built my control system
yet, so I can't provide personal empirical data but it seems odd that it would
require the full use of all possible space to achieve the desired elevator deflections
(if I understand you correctly, in saying that the control stick hits
the seat front or back in order to achieve the throws you are measuring). Maybe
others can comment on that.
Basically, every Pietenpol is unique - (some more than others) - and every little
change can have numerous effects. Just make sure that you will be able to achieve
the recommended deflections AS A MINIMUM. You can always install stops
to prevent too much throw, but you won't be able to add more throw if you have
nowhere for the stick to go.

Subject: | Just ordering plans.....Questions |
I am just ordering plans for my Pietenpol. I do have some questions of all of you!
I am curious as to the landing gear as in the plan and as seen in a few pic on
the internet.
The plans have wood LG and some of the Pics I've seen have a modern metal LG. Where
is this option available from if anybody knows.....
Thanks,
And Hello to All,
Bill Emidy :D

Subject: | Re: Push pull set-up |
Bill,
I really appreciate the feedback. I have followed the plans right down to t
he tail hinges and all 27 pieces (and more) to make them. Everything is to
plans as I have indicated.
Here are more photos of my build. In talking and collecting email form othe
rs, it appears my 18-20 degrees is in accordance with most providing feedba
ck. However, after the tail section is mounted, I will make sure to have fu
ll authority of controls before building any further.
It is interesting what other fliers and builders have measured for stick mo
vement (if we can agree on a fixed point to measure from) and total degrees
of up and down elevator travel.
Ladies and gentlemen.....enjoy!

Ken,
Since you are modifying the arrangement from that shown in the plans, you n
eed to ensure that your modifications will result in basically the same per
formance as the plans-built system.
The net result you are looking for is to ensure that the control surfaces w
ill deflect the proper amount based on normal control stick movements. The
plans do not specify the recommended throws for each of the different contr
ol surfaces, and there has been some discussion about this in the past (che
ck the archives). However, in the UK, homebuilt aircraft are much more regu
lated than in North America, and the Light Aircraft Association has produce
d a set of Type Acceptance Data Sheets for each aircraft approved for manuf
acture in the UK, and there is one for the Pietenpol Air Camper (see link b
elow). Page 4 of the latest revision of the Pietenpol TADS lists 20=C2=B0 u
p and 20=C2=B0 down for the recommended elevator deflections.
The number of degrees of deflection of the control stick or bellcrank arm i
s less important than the actual deflection of the control surfaces. Howeve
r, the length of the bellcrank should be very close to the dimensions of th
e elevator control horn connections, so the deflections of the two should a
lso be very close.
I would suggest that you add the elevator control horns to your mock-up and
see what your resulting elevator deflection is. I haven't built my control
system yet, so I can't provide personal empirical data but it seems odd th
at it would require the full use of all possible space to achieve the desir
ed elevator deflections (if I understand you correctly, in saying that the
control stick hits the seat front or back in order to achieve the throws yo
u are measuring). Maybe others can comment on that.
Basically, every Pietenpol is unique - (some more than others) - and every
little change can have numerous effects. Just make sure that you will be ab
le to achieve the recommended deflections AS A MINIMUM. You can always inst
all stops to prevent too much throw, but you won't be able to add more thro
w if you have nowhere for the stick to go.

Hello Billy and welcome I am in the midst of my build and up on my wooden gear.
I been at it for, well let's say less than a year ( in dogs life years) and the
like most, a resident smart ass with still too many questions and few answers
however you my good man are in luck. The information you seek cannot be found
in the drawings you must read the book and if you look carefully at addendum
14.1 the information and enlightenment you seek will become yours. Now while
I flaunt my expert wisdom I will provide additional guidance at no extra charge.
Invest in your library and spring for the Tony Bengelis series of books. Those
along with renting , purchasing or borrowing a copy of the TGEP or in more less
sophisticated and refined circles it's known as The Great Waldo Pepper. There
in lies answers to all of the rest of life's problems and situations. From that
meager start you will be will prepared to attend Mecca in July Brodhead which
I encourage you to attend.
I leave you with a welcome to the group a laurel and hardy handshake and the hope
to see your active progress reports as you ask all of the same questions we
al did.
Welcome to the best bunch of folks I have had the good fortune to become associated
with and remember Smile son never disconcert the masses

The standard plans package from the family (the '33 plans) have the drawing
for the split axle steel-tube gear. For another $20 you can get a full size
print of the original wood landing gear from them....

Subject: | Rib stitching help |
Jerry,
Everything is looking VERY nice! We should all touch base with Larry
Morlock, who apparently has the ability to entice the help of energetic
young women in rib-stitching endeavors....Larry may be willing to shed some
light on how that is done!

I wasn't listening can you say that again?
I am taking applications for rib stitcher/lacer helper. So far the only
applicant
is my 83 year old brother. The upside is he works cheap and wears overalls!
He flies over about 4 times a week.
John if the price is right you can get a GOOD prop shop to re-pitch it to

Subject: | Re: Prop Carving CD |
Here is a microsoft excel spreadsheet that will calculate the thickness, tangents,
Angles, and length of the airfoil Chord at each station. I've attatched it
as a PDF. The notes on the sheet should allow anyone to create their own spreadsheet,
but if anyone wants the actual spreadsheet send me an email and I'll
attach a copy for you. I also have a spreadsheet that calculates that dimensions
of a Clark Y airfoil for any given Chord length. I simply draw the airfoils
on graph paper. I need some CAD software to draw the airfoils...
