Subject: | Progress, a clean bill of health, and hardware |
Hey all,
Having read about the recent completions/near completions of the projects on this
list lately, and being inspired, I just wanted to share an update. I've been
building my Pietenpol Air Camper for just over a year and a half and so far
have completed the fuselage, tail section, center section, and have2/3rds of
the left wing done. I had an EAA Technical Advisor and another EAA member from
the local chapter visit today for inspection/suggestions. They were really
helpful and said all is looking good. It was a satisfying visit, to say the least.
As an aside, I told them I was about to place an order for AN hardware, turnbuckles,
etc. It so happens the Bellanca Super Viking was made in Alexandria, MN
(where I live) and they said they might have some of the hardware available in
the old factory. It was like a grocery store--aisles of bolts, washers, cable,
aileron hinges, pulleys--pretty much anything you might need right there for
the picking (at a good price). It just goes to show that aviation and this
hobby is filled with lots of great people and a lot of great help that isn't
too far away.
Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement. I am really looking forward to my
second Brodhead trip in a few weeks.
Tom

Tom,
I had my first tech advisor visit as well. Kinda makes you feel good when he (or
she) says all looks good. Be certain to wear a name tag at Brodhead as I would
like to meet you.

Subject: | Turnbuckle barrels for sale |
I am interested in seeing if a decent experimental/homebuilt market exists for
AN155-16S & AN155-32S turnbuckle barrels. I can produce these new barrels, which
are gaged to ASME/ANSI B1.3-2007 specs, for about $3.50 a barrel in quantities
of (1000) and still make a small profit. Spread the word and reply to aircraftturnbuckles@yahoo.com
with your thoughts and suggestions. These turnbuckles
will be manufactured in Waukesha, Wisconsin, by a company that has been very
successful at KEEPING products made here in the good ol USA!

HI Tom,
I used to fly into Alexandria and visit the Bellanca factory. They also made the
Bellanca Citabria in Alexandria. I am from Watertown SD and it was just a short
flight to Alexandria.
Sounds like you are doing fine on the Piet; keep up as you are making very good
progress.
Cheers,
Jim B.

Subject: | Pitenpol Air CAmper Prop Size |
Hello, I have come across a 1991 Pietenpol Air Camper, Cub gear and wings, and
a C-85 engine and McCauley C7441 74" prop. The engine starts and runs well but
I'm only getting about 2350 RPM on take off. Does anyone know if all this
sounds ok or could I possibly need a smaller prop?

Got the gear fitted and welded. A big thank you to Jerry Grogan for
assisting with the welding. Starting to re-spoke the rebuilt wheels, life
is good.
