Looking good, Chuck. Looks like you'll have the first retractable gear
Pietenpol. Might be able to get a 75 mph cruise.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wings On!
Good news - Bad news. Had to sell the house with the great basement
workshop, but moved the shop and Piet out to the airport. Took awhile to get
resettled and back at it. Special thanks to Curt Merdan who helped me move
the wings and fuse from a friends basement to the hanger!
You gotta love Piet People!!

| Subject: | on beating dead horses... |
I for one actually am not bothered by some of these topics that bet beaten
around for a few days, as long as they stay constructive. After all, isn't
that the process of discussion and exchanging ideas, opinions and
information? There inherently HAS to be a back and forth and in an email
format with so many people involved, it will likely get kinda long sometimes
on some complicated or hazy issues.
Clearly, different people have had different experiences and hold different
opinions and have different information and levels of knowledge regarding
fuel additives. I am sure the people who have seen a slug of MMO aren't
making it up, that would be a sobering thing to see prior to takeoff.who are
we to say they're just spreading "old wives stories" simply because we've
never seen the same thing. Heck, I've never seen Pluto, but if someone says
they have, why would I assume they're telling "stories"?? Now WHY that slug
of MMO was there is a whole different question, maybe it wasn't mixed right,
maybe it was other stuff that the MMO shook loose, who knows.
One thing I do know is that if someone has information about something that
they believe MAY clog my fuel system. I would be grateful if they would
share it with me.
I'm also grateful to those who have suggested correct ways of using
additives because I'd prefer not to have any sticking valves in flight
either.
So again, unless people are just being emo and hurling juvenile put-downs
back and forth, I think the constructive exchange of information is very
helpful, even though with some complex issues it might run on a bit.
If the occasional dead horse gets beaten for a few days too long, one can
always not watch.

Does anybody know how his plane is flying? I followed his speedy build on here
up until the first few flights and then he must have dropped off the list.....I
am just wondering how his plane is performing, it seemed like he was a bit disappointed
with it, but i would like to hear more.

I have a Diamond SRHF40A antenna that I use paragliding and I have easily c
ommunicated with others 15-20 miles away. The few occaissions I have used a
radio in the Piet were with the rubber ducky antenna and it was fine for m
y needs. I don't understand why a more sophisticated system is needed for t
he kind of flying the Piet was intended for.

| Subject: | Instrument Panel Revisited |
Pietsters:
I know this thread has already come and gone (probably several times) but,
as usual, I am a little out of sync with the flow. However, I have been
working on my instrument panel and thought you might like a look-see at
one that has "too many" instruments on it.
Outside row (from left): fuel, tach, amps, vertical compass, oil press,
oil temp, dual CHT
Inside row: airspeed, altimeter, X-Com radio
bottom: slip indicator
sub panel: start switch, (fuses missing), ignition, hour meter
It took several tries before I was able to find a place where the
instruments would not interfere with the cross bracing cables, aileron
cables (not shown) and the shoulder harness frame that you can just see in
the background and still leave room for all the wiring, etc. to get them
hooked up. I won an e-bay auction for some burled walnut veneer and this
was my first attempt at book matching. The vertical seam that you can see
so clearly in this photo does not show up nearly as well in normal
lighting. There is a second seam running up through the X-Com radio that
you can just barely see.
One note on the X-Com radio: Yes, I know it is pricy BUT...It weighs less
than one pound and fits easily in a 2" instrument hole so it is lighter
and not in the way like a hand held. I purchased the install kit which
comes with a wiring harness and tuned antenna which I mounted underneath
the helmet box below the turtledeck to preserve the "antique" look.
Before you mention it, YES, I know I left the key on so the battery will
probably be run down when I buy it.

Looks just beautiful Tom! I got distracted by your great looking white painted

and brake installation. Would you mind posting a photo or two of your wheels

airplane look so beautiful. (along with the fact that Don did
a really nice job with the rest of the airplane too!)
Some good, good looking Pietenpols are coming together. Love it.

to ruin your reputation! You and Markle are lots of fun to poke

Photos you want, photos you shall have. I have done a little work since
these photos that does not show up here so I probably need to get some new
ones. Anyway, these are weldable ACS 1.5 inch axles on 4130 tubing. 19
inch aluminum rims laced to Ken Perkins hubs (note the green primer color
on the hubs.) with Honda brake calipers from a salvage facility. The
disks were machined for me out of quarter inch stainless by a local
machine shop from my CAD drawing. What you can't see are the pure
motorcycle brake hoses that fasten to a fuselage floor pass-through
fitting which connects on the inside with some more motorcycle hoses to a
pair of Cessna 150 brake master cylinders from e-bay. I am leaning
towards leaving the wheel lacing exposed but have the plans available
should I choose to cover them. This brings up a question for the group.
Is there a significant change in the aerodynamics of flight if the wheels
are covered? It appears that this would create a couple of vertical
stabilizers forward of the center of balance. I know that the open wheels
already do this to a certain extent.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my Piet into the basement just in case
the predictions of nasty weather for tonight and tomorrow come true.
Think my wife would mind my cutting a big hole in the kitchen floor?

Looks just beautiful Tom! I got distracted by your great looking white
painted metal landing gear legs and clean looking wire wheels
and brake installation. Would you mind posting a photo or two of your
wheels and gear? For as much as I like the Jenny style wood landing
gear my second favorite option is what you have done and what makes Don
Emch's airplane look so beautiful. (along with the fact that Don did
a really nice job with the rest of the airplane too!)

Douwe,
Come on down to Florida. We have Pluto AND Goofy along with Minnie and Mickey.
I live 7 hours from there but I saw them all when my kids were small. Pluto does
exist.
As to sticking valves and rings....heat is your worst enemy. Open up the cowl
or climb at a faster airspeed. I have never used an additive but I would if I
had those kind of problems. I did have those very problems with a Luscombe A-65.
An old time mechanic told me to climb at 75 instead of 65 and my carbon/sticky
problems went away.
That is my $.02

Beauuuutiful wheels, brakes, and gear setup Tom. You should have fantastic braking
authority with the large diameter of
your discs. Really a good looking setup.
Hope the rough weather doesn't do any damage in your area tonight and Saturday.
I would imagine the covered wheels provide some directional stability. Frank
Pavliga is the only one I know who has flown his Piet with
and without his wire wheels covered. Next time I e-mail him I'll ask him what
his thoughts on that subject are.

In that case.....which....eh....."port" should the Marvel be poured in to
in order to be most effective? Sludging in the wrong port could be
catastrophic...

So let me understand here. Did the horse die from
ingesting too much of this MMO stuff?? And just
who was feeding it to him anyway? Was this
horse constipated? Was someone beating it to
work the crap out of it? That seems like an awful
lot of work just to get a little extra crap. What for?
Does the garden need it? So many questions, so
little time. Where is that White Rabbit when you
need him anyway?

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in
his shoes. Then, go ahead and criticise. After all,
you're a mile a way and you've got his shoes.

Well, I suppose you could administer the Marvel orally.....it should
lubricate the lower GI to produce....the extra crap, if so desired.
Otherwise, when it comes to the beating, I would imagine pine tar on the
lower half of the beating tool to improve grip, and Marvel on the upper
half to reduce the wear on the instrument during the beating.
If Marvel was administered prior to beating I think it might foul the
manure though, so I probably wouldn't use it on the garden....maybe Kip can
advise.....
