Welcome Mattijs to the world of Pietenpols!!
Seems like a lot of Hollanders are attracted to this beautiful little plane,
I'm half Dutch myself. Am going back next fall to visit some family as a
matter of fact.
As has been mentioned, the archives are a great place to start researching
your questions. Another suggestion would be to contact the Brodhead
Pietenpol Association and inquire about purchasing back issue magazines
(magazines from previous years). There are still some people building and
flying Fords, but back in the eighties and nineties there were a LOT, so
there are many articles pertaining specifically to the Ford.
You can contact them at bpan@tds.net
Pretty much any part or accessory you need for that engine is available in
the states. Feel free to let us know what you are having a hard time
finding and I'm sure some of us with some Ford experience will be happy to
help point you in the right direction.

Thanks guys..
I guess i got lucky Dan... reserved it last year..i played in the faa site for
a long time to find the number that fit
My tach was new old stock..dated 1931 and i was told it was from a tiger moth...i
got it and the airspeed from the same guy... maybe the Moth had another gear
to slow it down.. i was just going to hook up an electric tach till i got a
speed reducer for the mechanical one and see where i was running.
i dig the sound... my buddy here at work expected it to be louder
the ignition is a dual point with the coil switcher like the corvair guys use..
all grins here

Welcome to the group, Matthijs.
Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, I'll caution against making the metal fittings
before the wooden structure is built.
Many builders have thought the same idea before, but, because each Air Camper is
hand-built by different individuals, each Air Camper will be slightly different,
and therefore, the metal fittings will also need to be made to fit that actual
plane which they will be used on. The differences will be small, but probably
big enough to make many pre-fabricated parts useless. The fittings MIGHT
fit if built as-drawn, but it is highly likely that many will not.

Oftentimes the quality of hospitality is determined by the character and personality

Weird, though... after Jim left, I went out to my garage workshop, and now I seem
to be missing some sawdust... What a pigsty. Sorry about the mess, Jim - next
time I promise I'll tidy up and vacuum beforehand.

I have just been in contact with Mike Cuy about his famous "How I Built My
Pietenpol" video that has been such an inspiration to many of us.
Unfortunately, Mike's master VHS tape has bitten the dust, kicked the
bucket, gone to the laaast roundup, etc. and he is unable to manufacture
any more DVD's. I got his permission to send a help message out to the
group to see if anyone has one of the new DVD versions, or for that matter
one of the old VHS versions, and would be willing to copy and share. I
have two of the old VHS versions that, unfortunatly, are not usable any
more or I would offer to do this myself.
Any takers?

Hey JM, be careful about who you tell to "Search the archives". They are mo
re about,"Congratulations", or "I wish mine was as nice as yours" or "What
I did in the war" or some other well-meaning but totally useless post rathe
r than good solid info.
We need to use a WHOLE LOT more "do not archive" spots in most of our posts
so that the archives are meaningful and helpful to someone 5 years from no
w. Unfortunately, as they stand there is a bunch of garbage that must be wa
ded through and disregarded just to get to the occasional nugget of helpful
info.
-Might be a good new year's resolution!

Larry,
You got me to thinking about using the "Do Not Archive" words more often. So, I
have actually added it to my signature as most of what I have to say is probably
not worth saving long-term. That way, my default is to not archive. If I feel
that it is important, then I have to consciously erase the phrase.
Don't know if that is the right way, but just a thought.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Mike Cuy Video
I have just been in contact with Mike Cuy about his famous "How I Built My
Pietenpol" video that has been such an inspiration to many of us.
Unfortunately, Mike's master VHS tape has bitten the dust, kicked the
bucket, gone to the laaast roundup, etc. and he is unable to manufacture any
more DVD's. I got his permission to send a help message out to the group to
see if anyone has one of the new DVD versions, or for that matter one of the
old VHS versions, and would be willing to copy and share. I have two of the
old VHS versions that, unfortunatly, are not usable any more or I would
offer to do this myself.
Any takers?
Thanks,
Tom Stinemetze

Thanks Ryan that will solve my dilema nicely. By the way, my brother the
mechanic was at the house for Thanksgiving last week and we spent quite a
bit of time planning out the Corvair assembly. Should be happening pretty
soon now. I will take lots of photos and make them available.

Whoops, that reply was supposed to be offline, sorry. Anyway, thanks to
everybody both on and off the list as the number of offers I received was
totally in keeping with what we have come to expect from this group. Mr.
Cuy is not just responsible for getting my juices flowing with that video,
he also was responsible for getting me on this group. For both of those
things I am extremely greatful. I intend to personally send him a DVD so
he will have a good copy from which to work.

| Subject: | Re: Leading edge attachment |
Dave,
Making your leading edge from 3-foot pieces of aluminum will not prevent oil canning
with temperature changes. The aluminum will expand and contract at the same
rate, whether 14 feet long, or 1 foot long. Leaving small gaps between shorter
pieces will probably help to reduce the buckling a bit, though. Not too sure
about epoxying sheet aluminum to wood, either. I'm pretty sure that bond will
fail, sooner than later.
But your comment that really got my attention was that you used that method on
a different plane, and it works. Well, I suppose it does work - especially since
that's what the plans for THAT aircraft call for.
I recall reading about people having aluminum leading edge cladding on their Pietenpol,
and wishing they were plywood instead (aluminum was wavier, and less
strong). I just don't see any advantages to using aluminum on the Pietenpol wing.

| Subject: | Nailing ribs to spars |
Last month the question was raised about epoxy vs. nailing the ribs to the spars.
It seemed to be that either method was acceptable and the responses given
were in favor of nails.
I am using the 4-3/4" X 3/4" solid spars. The ribs are built to plans (1/2" wide
X 1/4" thick spruce attachment to the spar).
I'll ask this question after reviewing the archives and after reading the Bingelis
books-- are 20 gauge nails appropriate here or do you use 18 gauge, or does
it really even matter since the difference is so slight? To get 3X the thickness
of the surface wood (i.e., 1/4"), I plan on using nails 1" in length. I
know it's another of my "soft" questions, but I was just interested in knowing
what others have done that has worked.
Having asked this, I promise I will not ask how to hold the hammer to place the
nails.
Tom
