I'll sneak out of the woodwork and reply on this topic. Mostly I keep my eyes
glued to the goal of "Brodhead in '13".
Plans purchased in 2008
Purchased set of wings from a Sky Scout project
Started gluing in 2009
3-piece wing complete
Fuselage, tailfeathers, - on split axle gear, 6" wheels
3' center section with 15 gal. Al tank mounted on taller cabanes
Corvair run at CC 21
Working on plumbing and wiring
Plan to cover using Stewart System - Latex paint - scheme TBD
I seem to fit the 90 percent rule at this point.
Location: Holly Lake Ranch, TX (northeast TX), planes at 3F9
(hopefully a pic is attached of fuse on wheels outside of hangar)

Try =BC=94 Nylaflow tubing. You can get it and the fittings from ACS.
It=92s
what Vans uses on all the RV=92s. I used it on my master cylinders on

Bought plans in 2005 and rough cut spruce and douglas fir.
Completed Riblett 612 ribs out of spruce, the remainder of airframe will be douglas
fir.
Working on tail sections with beams cut to section and in process of laying out.
Plan to build long fuse with split undercarriage and spring leaf tail wheel.
Wing will be 3 piece with tank in centre section. The spars will be built up, similar
to UK construction method.
Fabric will be attached with water based adhesive similar to Stewart System but
acquired here in Australia and finished with latex.
Basic steam powered instruments and radio.
Corvair powered as per WW conversion. Have most parts to start engine assembly.
Progress is slow due to work and family, but I keep chipping away....
I live in Perth, Western Australia, so if any of you find yourselves down this
way, drop me a line, you'll always be welcome.
Best regards,

Hello Walter. It seems that your questions really come down to personal preference.
To save some time and money, use what you currently have and see how it flies.
Although I am not familiar with the Model A, so I can't comment on W&B issues with
it and the long fuse...if there are any.

Hi, the problem is; master cylinders are from a wrecked Cessna, the
fitting on the master is a =934, with o ring, so pipe thread
cannot be used on master. I need an aircraft hose with a 37 degree flair
fitting on master end, the outer end needs a male 1/8 pipe fitting, all
1/4 internal hose diameter,12 inches long. Nyla flow fittings are pipe
thread,will screw into Matco brake cylinders. Any thoughts? thanks

Walter,
First of all, congratulations on getting your medical back last year. I am quite
jealous as I am going through the hoops of getting my medical back after a rough
2012. I really applaud your desire to keep flying and work to get it back
after 12 years. Good job!
As far as Pietenpols go, I know very little as I am just starting to build mine.
I did a quick search and came up with this link to Pietenpol and Model A specs.
I know nothing about this website , so take the information for what it is worth.
But it couldn't be a lie, could it? It's on the Internet, so it must be true!
[Wink]
Best wishes as you make your decisions.

I am really enjoying reading everyone's description on this thread. I like that
there are so many nuances, but everyone is building the same basic airplane.
Some of us are just not "to plans", but that really is okay.
Having said all of that, I will chime in, but I am so new I still smell like Cash
Sales (Old Marine Corps joke, probably will only be appreciated by Jarheads
out there).
Bought my plans in 2011
Working on ribs right now (slowly, due to health issues this spring)
bought a short, welded fuselage on the split gear last fall (Thanks again to Skip
Gadd!)
Plan to do a three-piece wing
Slightly raised tank in the center section (Tiger Moth-ish)
Riblett airfoil
Corvair engine
Spoked wheels
Marine Corps Aviation of the 1930's paint scheme
Calling it "Semper Piet" [Laughing]
There, I've said it. Now it means I have to do it! Best wishes to everyone.

Yes I am still alive, just haven't been on the forum for a while. As many of you
guys have said you don't make much sawdust sitting in front of a computer.
Anyhow after seven years I had everything done but the paperwork, renting a hanger
and finding a trailer to drag everything to Meadow Lake airport (East of Colorado
Springs). But as you know I have one of those crank snappin Vairs and
I kept thinking about Randy telling me about his crank snapping episode and decided
to pull the engine off and install a Weseman 5th bearing and higher capacity
oil pump, (I can almost hear Jack snickering in the background). Am almost
done with that so I can soon do a final W&B and start looking for that hanger
(and take a couple lessons in a tail dragger of some sort).

Wonderful update Rick Holland and thank you for taking the time to post to us infidels.
So glad you kept at it and like many on the list who have been building a long,
long time
you've stuck it out and are now in the home stretch after facing some decisions
that would
have knocked other pitchers out of the game. Excellent update and please keep
us posted
with photos or notes on how thing progress for you over the summer!

Bought plans in '09
Built the "Navrotil Special" fuselage, 612 ribs, one piece spars, and tail
feathers.
Built Corvair engine and ran it Nov '11
Bought long fuselage/split gear/FC-10 3 piece wing project Oct '11 that is almost
ready for cover. Project included A-65 core engine.
Plans are to cover the project this summer and fly summer of '13. Remaining major
items besides cover:
Fuel tank
Engine cowling
Instruments
Electrical system (if I use the Corvair so my wife doesn't have to prop the
A-65 when she flies it)
Will have comm radio and transponder ala Jack Phillips if no electrical system.
Paint job TBD but something Art Deco-ish. Thinking TANSTAAFL Aviation Ltd.
Would love to make Brodhead in '13 but more likely is '14. Not sure if my butt
could make the trip from Maine, especially against the prevailing westerly winds,
but if Axel can make it up from TX, then I can make it from Maine.

John,
Why is your wingspan so huge? Was this this intentional?

Dan my runway is only 1300 feet long with a good approach on the north end and
a power line across the south end. Jack Phillips was of the opinion with a little
more wing it would climb better especially on hot days. I agree.

Dan,
its been a while since I measured the wing panels however I believe the
spars were cut from 16 foot poplar planks to 15
'7" from the joint hinge strap fitting to the bow of the wing tips, as i
recall. Even then I thought more wing the better so I didn't mind the length.
I believe the plans for the 3 piece wing are larger any way.
All of which is speculation at the moment until I get good solid
measurements from the wing panels. If my numbers are incorrect I will correct
them
Ill let ya know
John

Oscar,
I know Kevin well enough to know that it would take a lot more than that to
offend him. He's busy learning to fly a new helicopter.

No offense taken, Oscar. I knew you were playing. Just couldn't think of anything
clever to say back.

Hello guys, hope you all are getting some flying in.- I have been busy do
ing house work for the past 4 weeks, and the piet is still tore apart.- I
started the annual about a month ago, and took all the tail hardware, tail
wire fittings to repaint them, and had to replace the carb heat box due to
cracks (didnt feel like taking the time to repair them right now).- Dad
wants to replace all the lift strut hardware for piece of mind, and recoat
the inside of the struts with corrosion prevention compound (AV-30).- No
big items on the annual except lack of time to get it done.- I am putting
in a brick patio that started with tearing out a deck, tearing out a chimn
ey, patching in the vinal siding, patching in the roof,-regrading aroung
the house with 20 tons of stone, and 7 yards of topsoil, and the poor Piet
is sitting out in the hangar with its pants down.- Hopefully I will have
it back up within 3-4 weeks and get some flying in before 100LL hits
$27/gal.- As far as having my fly-in it is still in the planning phase,
not sure when to do it, probably late summer, or early fall.- I am also t
rying to work an angle to get time off work, and permission from "The Boss"
to squeeze in 3 days to go to Brodhead.- If she lets me I will try to fl
y up friday, and come home sunday.- I might need to order 48 feet of vort
alator tape to get the required speed I will need to get there and back-o
n that tight scedule.-
-
Happy flights, and restfull nights to Y'all
-
Shad

P.S.- I will not be atempting any spins without a pith helmet, or marvel
mys. oil
