| Subject: | radios, antennas and the pronounciation of my name. |
First off, THANKS!! To all you guys, this was very helpful. Looks like for
a few ounces I get increase the range of my handheld a LOT. Think I'll just
get one of those ACS "kits", figure out how to attach it to the radio and
mount it either behind the seat using the inspection panel as a ground plane
or mount it vertically inside the vertical stabilizer (rudder fin) which I
saw in an old BPA back issue. Though I hate adding even ounces back there,
it would be the best spot by far in terms of interference.
Secondly, my first name is pronounced "Dow", it's a Dutch name, though
growing up, I heard every pronunciation imaginable!!
Got all the old sheet metal back on her yesterday and am fed up with all the
deteriorating holes in the wooden trim piece on the longerons so I'm
installing some screw inserts so I can use machine screws. Just don't go
into the longeron. Decided to add sheet metal behind each cockpit so I can
have the World War 1 look to the coaming I've always loved.
Hopefully can start covering the fuse and tail parts within a few weeks.

Thanks Jim. I was able to remove a tube from my "spare" engine no problems.
The tube was loose to start with and it was just a matter of pulling outwa
rd a little, rotate it, pull outward again, rotate, etc.- This basically
compressed the tube end enough that is dropped right out.

Clif, I really like your panel.- It has a simple layout and has a very vi
ntage look.- It appears that the panel itself is a little flatter on top
and that makes it wider some along the sides...- a nice look, I believe.
You also got my mind thinking when I saw the wood supports for the windscre
en...good stuff!

Good friend (and fellow curmudgeon to be admired greatly!) Larry Williams h
as my
vote for favorite panel but then in going against his mostly purist likings
towards
Pietenpols he showed up with a glass (yes) cockpit one time.
Fortunately Larry has a great sense of humor (unless you irritate him:) and
he made up
this really cool fake panel of carbon fiber and other goodies for static di
splay to
'disconcert the masses' I believe!

| Subject: | Re: Landing Gear V question |
Oscar,
I'd have to agree with you. When I switch from my large covered wheels to skis
there is a noticeable difference. When I have the skis I notice the rudder is
more effective and at the same time the plane will fly skewed a little easier.
That tells me the covered wheels (which are probably comparable to covered v's)
are acting like somewhat of a "keel".

Here are a couple pics of my panels. The rear was shown above. I put some duplicate
instruments in the front pit so that I can still see them when my readers
choose to bail/freefall. Setting in the rear pit, I can not read any of the instruments
without my readers on.

You betcha. I should be coming right up the central valley,
Bakersfield-Hanford-Modesto-Yuba City-Red Bluff, and so on,
but I can adjust the route any other way that puts me into
a grass field, friends, a hangar for the night, or some
other interesting attraction. Oh, and I'll probably be
NORDO much of the time so I'll be avoiding controlled airspace
as much as possible.

| Subject: | Push Rod Tube Alternative |
Crew, while discussing push rod tubes, beading tools, removal, installation
, etc. with Mike C., I found an alternative to fix leaks.- It is a push r
od tube conversion kit. Mike found the link- which shows the components o
f the conversion kit. ACS sells said kit, but we feel others most likely do
as well.
Just some FYI...

This picture really threw for for a couple of days.
The very thing that attracted me to a Piet was the simplicity, the Model A Engine,
and the vintage look. Larry was gracious enough to talk with me on the phone
and I told him of my desire to keep it simple and to the plans......... I
thought I had found a "soul brother" thinking the same as I and then found this
very picture on the web somewhere, I spent a couple of days kind of wondering
"what the heck???" , then figured out it was fake. Funny :D

I was surprised to see that they made these for our Continental engines lik

Mike P. and I agreed that we like the simplicity of the push rod tube housi

by Continental instead of all these pieces parts...but it does look kinda c

I wanted the cowl to tangent the sides. Doing that
