Good morning all,
It's time to order covering supplies and with that I would appreciate your
thoughts. I've searched the archives and pictures, thanks to many and Oscar
for your posts on materials needed. It looks like many people used pinked
finishing tape. Is that best? Also wondering if bias tape is worth the
extra price. Flat or round thread? Any thoughts to help would be great.
I'm planning on 1.7 oz material and water based products.
Thanks,
Jack

I'm the one restoring/improving a 1970's Piet. I am a self-admitted

how to hook up my tail wheel. (it was not made steerable originally). I

Have to agree they are mighty tasty the part about no rusting however does not
support the basic premiss of preventing or clearing obstructions I suspect a
non ferris blockage is as much a problem as a ferris material blockage so the
rust theory doesn't work nor does the scavenge theory.
I doubt it provides much assistance during oil change to determine levels of wear
on internal parts during oil change. Another application that does not support
the notion.
So far Ryan has gotten to the the only plausible statement of fact " the magnet
was stuck to the side of Dads tool box"
Which I hope was made of steel or metal containing iron or we will have to throw
that statement out also.
Does anyone have anything to add that makes any sense at all?

Jack,
For the few curves that I have, I made my own bias pieces out of scraps.
Mostly 2" pinked, some 3" pinked. Note that some 1.7 oz material does NOT
come in wide enough rolls to cover one side of the wing.
Best wishes,
Gary from Cool

Jack,
Pinked edge tapes are much easier to keep from peeling up. You won't need
much bias ply tape, but there are a few places wher it is helpful, such as
going around the top of the vertical fin - no way you'll get regular tape to
lay down properly there. You won't need much - just buy a small roll of 4"
bias tape and that should be plenty.

Again, what a timely post! I am preparing to order some covering materials
as well so I can start on the tail pieces.- Check out superflite.com- T
hey sell 1.7 fabric- at 72" wide...great for our wings.
If you are going with the Stewart's Ekobond, (I am) Aircraft Spruce sells i
t...in case you will be placing an order with them anyway.

Michael, If I might make a suggestion, start with reading the ENTIRE
covering manual, then read it again. The when you are ready to start
covering, re-read the section pertaining to the part of the airframe you are
covering. If the Stewart manual is as good as the PolyFiber manual, you
should have no problems.
I love fabric covering. To me, this is the very best part of the entire
building process, where you take odd pieces of framework and turn them into
parts of an airplane that can actually FLY.
Good luck!

Michael -
I am a Stewart Systems distributor - I can provide you with a DVD set
that takes you through the entire process, step by step. The set is
$20, refundable with your first purchase of products. The DVD set can
be copied (it shows a copyright, but Stewart's allow unlimited copying).
I teach seminars and do weekend instructions sessions with customer
where we will spend 3 days and cover tail parts or ailerons teaching the
entire process up through painting. Cost for the seminar is $300 per
person, 10 to a session which is 3 days. Cost for the individual
training is $750 plus expenses.
I'll be happy to answer any questions you or any of the folks here might
have about the covering process. I have a customer covering a Piet
right now in Branson, MO.
I carry a pretty complete line of products, except for paint, which drop
ships only from Cashmere, WA. aircraftfinishes@gmail.com

Agreed Jack. I have read the Stewart's manual twice now...over about a one
year period. The last time was about 2 months ago.- I'll read it again he
re soon...I need a better Idea what to order... and have it handy while in
work.
My plan is to have the tail assembly ready for flight...covered, taped, sti
tched painted, tail number, etc. by the end of the three weeks.
When I first started out on my build, I was looking forward to building the
fuselage the most. Now that the fuselage is pretty much complete, I am REA
LLY looking forward to doing some fabric and painting! It will be a while b
efore I cover the fuselage, but the tail is a good place to get started. Th
is week can't end soon enough.

Subject: | Aileron Cables rubbing on the fuselage frame... |
Hello List,
I have mocked up the flight controls in my Piet and am finding that if the cabaine
struts are vertical then the aileron cables rub on the fuselage frame per
the attached image. (Many Piets have their cabaine struts slanted aft a few inches
for weight-and-balance, but I want to protect for some adjustment and allow
them to be vertical without control cable rubbing problems.)
Question: Has anyone ever moved the aileron control horn aft on the control bar
to help alleviate this problem... or does this just cause some other problem
I am not aware of.....?!?!? (I am considering 1 & 1/2 inches aft)
Moving the horn aft would also mean that I would have to move the forward pulley
(which is on the control bar) aft and I am not sure if that would be a problem
as well......!?!??!
.....or is there some other fix that people have done....?!?!?!?
It also seems like the aileron control cables are awfully close to rubbing on the
cross brace cables for the cabaine struts....!?!?!?
Thanks in advance for any help............

That is a great story. The Jeep running into the nose gear reminded me of a short
story my brother told me a few months ago. He crewed on C-54's during the
Berlin Airlift. They flew in zero type visibility. He said one night it was so
bad taxiing to unload the coal at Tempelhof they got lost and wound up in front
of the snack bar.

I could move my aileron horn without moving the pulley (except that mine are

Why do you think you would have to move the pulley? They are completely
seperate items.

Guess I just figure I could beef them up a tad and separate them but per the plans
it looks like they integrate/work together structurally nicely when they are
welded as a set....??!!?!?!?

Subject: | Aileron Cables rubbing on the fuselage frame... |
As I recall, my aileron cables had some interference, which I eliminated by
judicious application of a hammer on the control horns on the torque tube.
Do what you've got to do.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aileron Cables rubbing on the fuselage frame...
Hello List,
I have mocked up the flight controls in my Piet and am finding that if the
cabaine struts are vertical then the aileron cables rub on the fuselage
frame per the attached image. (Many Piets have their cabaine struts slanted
aft a few inches for weight-and-balance, but I want to protect for some
adjustment and allow them to be vertical without control cable rubbing
problems.)
Question: Has anyone ever moved the aileron control horn aft on the control
bar to help alleviate this problem... or does this just cause some other
problem I am not aware of.....?!?!? (I am considering 1 & 1/2 inches aft)
Moving the horn aft would also mean that I would have to move the forward
pulley (which is on the control bar) aft and I am not sure if that would be
a problem as well......!?!??!
.....or is there some other fix that people have done....?!?!?!?
It also seems like the aileron control cables are awfully close to rubbing
on the cross brace cables for the cabaine struts....!?!?!?
Thanks in advance for any help............

I know that this is both shameless and unorthodox use of our beloved board,
however I have no other way to contact everyone at large at such an
important time. However I thought it important enough to run the risk of such
an
action.
I have been successful in securing special introductory pricing concessions
from the owner of _www.AristoKrafts.com_ (http://www.aristokrafts.com/)
to create a special series of Christmas ornaments for the Pietenpol
Builders and owners community. For a limited time She will accept pre Christmas
orders at the special price to create your own personalized ornament
depicting your Pietenpol on the ornament with the tail number and your particular
scheme.
Each ornament is a hand painted artistic rendition of your Pietenpol its
the perfect gif for the flyer in your family, the Piet in your hangar and an
inspiration for the builder. The good news is that even if you don't have
it completed but would like your own Ornament you can order one anyway just
provide your tail number detailed color scheme and engine selection and you
order will be processed as received and assigned its authentication number
in the series with out duplication.
All this for the low introductory price of $19.99 plus shipping and
handling but wait if you order 4 or more the shipping is free. Exclusive of rush
orders or special handling requests or out of the USA shipments. This a
specially negotiated price for the Pietenpol Community.
I will put a link on my FB page for you to reference back to.
My apologies, this was just too good not to share with my friends.
John

Subject: | Buildapalooza suspended for medical intervention, great |
just great
Well build fans I had to suspend Buildapalooza for a while, Was in the
hospital Friday for shoulder surgery, I am not sure what he actually did
however it musta been good because it hurt a bunch, still does. I figure hangar
days will be minimal and progress even less.
I figured being out of work this would be a good time to get it done,
unfortunately it cuts into the Buildapalooza I suppose you cant always get what
you want.
As soon as I can Ill be back at the build, this year is not turning out
like I planned.
