Why don't you coordinate with Kevin and Shelley and join them when they stop by
our place on the way? We have plenty of room and there's a little grass strip
not far from us.
Jim in Pryor....well, Boston this week... :-(

Subject: | any subaru ea 81 piets? |
At the risk of muddying the waters and stirring the pot with my cloudy memo
ry=2C I'll interject a comment about the last engine failure that John Dila
tush had in "Mountain Piet". I thought he told me that he overboosted the
engine and that's what led to the failure. I thought he said that he had t
he engine set up with completely manual control of turbo boost and on takeo
ff when a lot of things are going on=2C it spooled up and overboosted befor
e he could back off the manifold pressure.
John is a skilled pilot=2C talented builder=2C and an engineer (if memory s
erves). He preferred to have pilot control of turbo boost rather than a fi
xed waste-gate arrangement=2C and that's the builder's decision. My two ce
nts' worth=2C and maybe not even worth that.
There are still pictures of "Mountain Piet" on my website=2C including engi
ne pix=2C here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/John_piet.html

Subject: | wood prop balancing, torqing, and blade tracking |
Being somewhat of a lazy sort about some things I've let my annual prop rel
ax-and-retorque of the bolts
go a few years and even more importantly had not balanced or tracked the pr
op in a while.
Last fall I was experiencing some vibrations that were a bit annoying in fl
ight so a few weeks ago I removed
my prop, sanded it all down and refinished it. Ala the Tony Bingelis book
s I balanced the prop with a simple
home made balancing tool and used appropriate amounts of clear spray lacque
r on the light blade (allowing it
to dry overnight) to get a perfect balance.
I tracked the prop with appropriate shims (brown grocery store bag folded b
ehind the prop works just fine) again
ala the Bingelis books and boy what a difference after it was all final tor
qued and done.
Smooth and silky on takeoff and in cruise. It really makes a huge differe
nce to take the time to balance, torque,
and track your wood prop on a regular basis. Metal props can benefit fro
m the same treatment but with the weather
extremes in temperature and humidity changes in Ohio wood props need a bit
more annual TLC. It paid off nicely.

Hi Jeff - We plan to depart on Sunday, July 15th, putting us in Markle/Chouinard-land
that evening. They're near Tulsa. We had a great time last year. They
forced me to eat pizza and drink beer.
You're welcome to join up for as long as you can stand. My legs are short due
to my poor fuel tank planning/design. Works out perfect for ground stop coordination
with Shelley, though. Anyway, when you've had enough you can simply fly
ahead.
FYI, we also have a stop tentatively planned for Kansas City to see family.
All of this is, of course, contingent upon weather, maintenance, jobs and the universe
smiling on us.

Kevin, I never noticed how short your legs are. Must have been distracted by the
Crocs.

Looks nice Mike but since it turns the wrong way I think I'll stick with
my Cloudcars prop. Can't wait to get the chance to put it on for the
first time.

Beautiful, Mike.
How far off was the tracking? How close were you able to adjust it?
