      You will get varying advice=2C but for first flights mine is: lift it off a
      t 50-55 or so.  Climb out at 65 so the controls are responsive and you don'
      t mush. Fly your pattern at 65.  Hold final at 65 till you're on short fina
      l=2C calm air=2C then let it bleed to 55 as you come over the threshold.  I
      f there is a cross-wind=2C you are on your own!  Taildragger pilot=2C do wh
      at you know how to do with these airplanes because this one is a stick and 
      rudder airplane and it likes to come down when the power comes off.
      
      Over the numbers=2C if you have the nerve to look at the airspeed indicator
      =2C let 55 bleed on down to 45 when the lift will be all gone and you'd bet
      ter be able to reach out from the cockpit and touch the numbers painted on 
      the runway because... any slower than that... you'll be squeaking the tires
       on the ground.  And if you don't=2C get ready for a bounce!
      
      The ASI is all but useless beginning from when you're over the numbers=2C s
      o don't bother looking at it. You fly this airplane by feel and by sound an
      d by peripheral vision when you're down by the numbers.  This airplane is a
      lways instructing and it doesn't care about you as a pilot at all.  It's go
      ing to fly like a stick and rudder airplane no matter what you do!  If you'
      re a good taildragger pilot=2C you and the Piet will quickly be great frien
      ds.  If you're not a good taildragger pilot=2C you'll soon learn and THEN y
      ou'll be great friends!  This airplane is so much fun to fly.

      Thanks Oscar. I will respect her. Way back when I flew the Stearman so much I hardly
      ever looked at the airspeed. I could tell from the song of the wires how
      it was doing. I sure appreciate the advice.

      Is that a good-looking Pietenpol of Jerry's or what?    That's going to get
       up and climb with that big engine.
      
      One thing that crossed my mind due to recent experience is adjusting tire p
      ressure to get grandma's feather
      bed just right.   Or is that Goldilocks?   Never no mind, but a few pounds 
      too much tire pressure in our motorcycle
      tires can make the plane bounce pretty good on landing-especially if your b
      ungees don't have much give.
      
      I like to keep my bungee cords pretty tight so I have aileron authority in 
      crosswinds.  If the bungees are too loose
      you can actually have a strong crosswind get under one wing instead of bein
      g able to dig into it.   Enough about that.
      
      I've found that 18 to 20 psi in the motorcycle wheels works well on pavemen
      t.  Your mileage may vary.
      
      The plus side to higher tire pressures is that your takeoff roll will be fa
      ster.    You play with the pressures and find out
      what works best for your suspension and runway environment.    This all mak
      es me want to go fly.    Think I'll burn
      some hydrocarbons soon.

      Friends and fellow Pietsters:
      
      It grieves me to say this but I will be going off-list for a while and will
      be just getting the digest version while I am recuperating from back
      surgery.  I opted to do this now since I cannot stand to sit in the Piet for
      more than 10-minutes before my back gives out.  I 'spect that might get even
      worse when the seat is moving - - so - - while I am still young enough to
      recover I am going in for the big fix.
      
      Feel free to use my name in vain or whatever while I am gone but rest
      assured - - I SHALL RETURN!

      Mike my Piet weighs 812 pounds empty. I aired my tires up and just barely took
       the "squat" out of them. I think it was 35 psi. It taxis fine. Just put her up
      from a few runs. I got fast enough for the tail to come up twice....felt good.

      good  
      
      Good report Jerry!   I see  scattered thunderstorms hit or miss across Flor
      ida on
      the radar.  Good to hear you've got some decent weather to taxi test in.  T
      he day
      is still young:)
      
      Mike C.
      
      
      By the way, for all who are getting close to flight testing or might be
      in the next year or so this is an outstanding guide by the FAA.
      
      Just paging thru this document I found a section that describes
      in detail how to determine the unusable fuel for you fuel system and engine
      combination.   There is a great section on weight and balance calculations 
      too.
      
      http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/media/ac90-89a.pdf
      
      
      Fuel Flow and Unusable Fuel Check: This
      is a field test to ensure the aircraft engine will get
      enough fuel to run properly, even if the aircraft is
      in a steep climb or stall attitude.
      (1) First, place the aircraft's nose at an
      angle 5 degrees above the highest anticipated climb
      angle. The easiest and safest way to do this with
      a conventional gear aircraft is to dig a hole and place
      the aircraft's tail in it. For a nose gear aircraft, build
      a ramp to raise the nose gear to the proper angle.
      (2) Make sure the aircraft is tied-down and
      chocked. With minimum fuel in the tanks, disconnect
      the fuel line to carburetor. The fuel flow with a gravity
      flow system should be 150 percent of the fuel
      consumption of the engine at full throttle. With a
      fuel system that is pressurized, the fuel flow should
      be at least 125 percent. When the fuel stops flowing,
      the remaining fuel is the ''unusable fuel'' quantity.
      (3) Since the fuel consumption of most
      modern engines is approximately .55 pounds per
      brake horsepower per hour for a 100 horsepower
      engine, the test fuel flow should be 82.5 pounds (13.7
      gallons) per hour for gravity feed, or 68.75 pounds
      (11.5 gallons) per hour for a pressurized system. The
      pounds per hour divided by 60 equals 1.4 pounds
      and 1.15 pounds per minute fuel rate respectively.
      NOTE: Formula for fuel flow rate gravity
      feed is .55 x engine horsepower x 1.50 
      pounds of fuel per hour divided by 60 to
      get pounds per minute, divided by 6 to get
      gallons per minute. For a pressurized system,
      substitute 1.25 for 1.50 to.......

      Yeah, mine likes to roll, too.  My brakes (Cleveland hydraulic disc brakes)
      will barely hold it for a runup and cannot hold it at full throttle.
      Airplanes quit using big wheels about the time they started putting brakes
      on them.

      I don't know about y'all, but my Piet reeeeeally likes to roll on those big
      wheeels. Its hard to hold her back even in the grass at idle. I recently
      switched brake lining material (Piet-ish band brakes) and the new stuff
      works great and really bites in, so much so that I can hold it back on
      run-up.

      Is that a good-looking Pietenpol of Jerry's or what?    That's going to get
      up and climb with that big engine. 
      
      
      One thing that crossed my mind due to recent experience is adjusting tire
      pressure to get grandma's feather
      
      bed just right.   Or is that Goldilocks?   Never no mind, but a few pounds
      too much tire pressure in our motorcycle
      
      tires can make the plane bounce pretty good on landing-especially if your
      bungees don't have much give. 
      
      
      I like to keep my bungee cords pretty tight so I have aileron authority in
      crosswinds.  If the bungees are too loose
      
      you can actually have a strong crosswind get under one wing instead of being
      able to dig into it.   Enough about that. 
      
      
      I've found that 18 to 20 psi in the motorcycle wheels works well on
      pavement.  Your mileage may vary.    
      
      
      The plus side to higher tire pressures is that your takeoff roll will be
      faster.    You play with the pressures and find out
      
      what works best for your suspension and runway environment.    This all
      makes me want to go fly.    Think I'll burn
      
      some hydrocarbons soon.

      I have that publication. It is good stuff. Thanks. I have been reading it for a
      month now. I took the gas line off the carb and let it flow into a gallon milk
      jug. It took 75 seconds to fill so that figures 48 gallons an hour. It is raining
      kittens and puppies right now but will taxi more tomorrow. I am going to
      tie her down  and run the engine at full power for 1 minute just to build my
      confidence in it some more. You see I know the mechanic that overhauled it and
      he looked a lot like me.

      Well guys, I put N7035N down on a farm turn row in OK last saturday. Hung a
      wing on the corn and did the slickest "hide the airplane in the corn" trick
      you ever saw. Pictures attached. I've always told my wife that if I ever
      had to set the piet down in an emergency that I might bend the plane but
      wouldn't bend me. Proved the plane is a very tough little critter. Only
      broke the tailwheel and tailpost. It never did back up well and I guess
      backing into a muddy corn field is even worse.
      
      Funny part is as much as I've enjoyed the plane, I haven't flown it enough
      to justify the costs of housing and insuring it. June 2 was our 40th
      wedding anniversary, so my gift to my wife was getting rid of the plane. I
      determined to sell it when I got back from flight to Texas and back from
      Tennessee. On leg out of Davis Field, Muskogee, OK (MKO) I was climbing out
      and lost power. Just like I'd pulled the throttle. The FAA folks at the
      FSDO have convinced me it was carb ice. I've always pulled carb heat
      landing, but never on takeoff. Conditions were just perfect for ice. Super
      high humidity with unseasonable cold after thundershowers. I had to wait on
      the ramp for traffic to clear so had been running it a bit. Anyway, that's
      my story and I'm sticking to it.
      
      If anybody wants to shortcut building a GN1 variant of the Pietenpol, do I
      have a deal for you. I just didn't want to sell the plane and look over my
      shoulder with liability issues for the next 20 years. So I'm decertifying
      it and selling it for parts. Catch is it's a complete plane with A65, wings
      completely unharmed. Only damage to the fuse is the the tailwheel/tailpost,
      and a bent carb heat box. No prop strike and I have a brand new Cloudcars
      prop, only flown to Texas and part way back. I took the prop off to hang on
      the wall but could be talked out of it. Can't imagine anything better than
      building and flying the Aircamper, and you guys (including of the female
      type category) are great. I'm gonna keep a toe in the Piet community.
      Thanks guys. Give me a scream if your interested in the plane 615-754-9159

      Jerry, with your experience you won't have any trouble. Just fly it like you 
      flew your crop dusters. My first flight I didn't even have an airspeed 
      indicator. Believe it or not I had my AS hooked up to the wrong port I can't 
      believe admitted that. By the way, what id your empty weight come out to be?

      Thanks Oscar. I will respect her. Way back when I flew the Stearman so much I 
      hardly ever looked at the airspeed. I could tell from the song of the wires how
      
      it was doing. I sure appreciate the advice. 
      
        When are you going to get Scout home?

      Gardiner,
       Empty weight was 812#. Heavy but 115 horsepower and 32' 6" wing it should be OK.
      My son is borrowing a digital scale so we can test the thrust it makes tomorrow.
      The famous "fish scale" was not here so my thrust test will not be an official
      Pietenpol result! Right now if all goes well and this stinking low pressure
      will let me Saturday morning first flight.
      
      do not archive
