It's amazing how frustrating this stuff can be, followed immediately by profound
satisfaction when it finally comes together.

Do you model A guys use a pressure radiator cap ??
i know the cars didn't
i had an old 16lb cap laying around and put it on the piet to run it and i'm getting
quite a bit of pressure i guess... its blowing over some water at high rpm..
I'm concerned that there could be a head gasket problem.. the oil is ok.. don't
see anything in the cylinders.. its not hot but its pushing a little water out..
just ran it again for a while.. never saw more than 165 deg

Jeff,
I have an overflow, outlet in the neck of the radiator. So far I always get
some blowing over of some water at full power. I think it is a function of
the water pump throwing the water up there. I restricted the fitting down
real small and that helped. I need to also create some kind of labyrinth to
lesson the amount.

Jack
Is the hole in the washer the size of the smaller tubing in the picture? If so,
the step formed by the larger diameter tubing above the washer and the thickness
of the washer is all that is needed to resists the bending of the washer.
If not, then can you remake the washer to have a smaller diameter hole?
I have looked at your landing gear pictures on your website but I still cant figure
what end we are looking at. I figure it must be the end that slides in the
slot because of the bolt, but then why is it welded to the smaller diameter
tubing? Doesnt the collar need to slide on the small tube? If its the other end
that does not slide, all the plans I have seen for this gear shows the washed
welded to the tube and then why the bolt?

Don, my wife and I used to drive around with a 5th wheel trailer behind us.
We went to SNF once about a week in advance. There wasn't much flying but
we both volunteered to work and there was plenty to do. I spent most of the
week putting up plastic fence between different parts of the SNF. On the
day of the start when all the planes started coming in they volunteered me
to be a part of the ground traffic control. Very interesting. People want
to park in a particular place and they don't believe you when they are told
there's no more room in that area -- they just gotta drive down there and
find out for themselves. I got a ride in the old Ford Trimotor for my
efforts.

I have been at it for just over 12 years now. Seems like yesterday when I got the
plans from Don Pietenpol. I went into the man cave last weekend Friday morning
and came out Sunday night, with the result being that I am finally assembling
wings from ribs made in 1998.

Jack,
I would say that the arrangement in your photo is not ideal. I'm not crazy about
the idea of that washer acting on the nut and the head of the bolt. Best not
to impose bending loads on the bolt. Would be better to use a longer bolt, like
you say, but what would prevent the bolt from sliding over to one end or the
other?. I much prefer the arrangement shown in Mike's photo, with a sleeve,
and hole located away from the washer. That way the bolt is only loaded in shear.
The two designs (Bingelis and Buckeye) mentioned in this old thread utilize a similar method, with a sleeve. http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=329387#329387

I had the same problem with my Model A pickup. I took it by to show one
our local Model A experts, and he told me I was overfilling the
radiator. The water pump really throws a lot of water up into the neck
of the radiator, and the normal level is a lot lower than you may
think. I was having similar temps...never went above 160.

| Subject: | Various parts questions |
We are building a Piet for static display. It has a straight (Jenny style) axle.
We're wondering if any one could email me some photos showing the attachment
of the gear, axle and shock cords along with drawings of the parts needed. we
would like to know how many feet of shock cord we need to buy.
We are in need of a carb, magneto, and an intake manifold for a Model A engine.
[u]None of these parts need to be serviceable[/u]. If you have any, please email
me your price.
My email address is: jimbir@yahoo.com
We have also rebuilt a 1917 Curtiss JN4 and have attached photos of the gear on
it for comparison to what might be on found a Piet.

We have a Busy shop planned this year. P.F. Beck has 2 friends who want to
build fuselages and I will bring cap strip to build wing ribs. That all
should keep us all moving pretty well. Also I'm getting ready to leave
within the next week or so and I'll be there about a week early. It's kind
of nice to get there early and watch everything come together. my cell ph
#is 612-805-1742 for anyone coming looking for info or e mail me or Skip.

Jim
25 ft. will cover it and give you a tail to hang onto at the end. Also you
can probably find most of that stuff you need at the parts mart at SNF.

I appreciate your vote of confidence Dan H. "Re-Piet" will be a cool plane, but
my eye for detail won't be in the league of yours or some of you other guys.
She outta be pretty solid and useful though and will have a unique thirties,
"art-deco" feel.

| Subject: | Floor Bracing on extended fuselage |
Hello everybody,
First time here. I am building the extended fuselage version of the Piet and am
confused about where to place the floor bracing. The original plans have the
side bracing and struts starting at 10" back. The extended version starts at
12" back. The orignial plans start the floor bracing with white ash 10" back.
I can not find where the floor bracing should be on the extended version. Seems
to me it should be at the 12" mark like the side bracing and struts. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!

Whoops! Right you are, Ryan... it's the A40, not A45. Wonderfully simple engine;
