    First off, I can only find photo links about half the time, so Jack, I'm sure your new gear looks great!! All painted sheet metal installed, fabricated new center section cross bracing cables (were rods), fabricating forward baggage compartment (ala Jack P) closure. Have to paint underbelly ply, ordered eyelets and will do coamings soon. Guess I'll just glue up some foam cushions in case shapes need to be changed before I sew coverings. Hoping to head to the airport within a couple of weeks. Douwe

    I have been to Jack's house and inspected his work and it is the way I would want to build my Piet. Even though I have done some welding on the stuff Jack always has the metal parts perfect before I start. Perfection on the little things will end up being a perfect airplane. Just my two cents worth. Jerry Do not archive

    Subject: Pietenpol Air CAmper prop size
    RPM is OK but.......Cub gear and wings?? Don't know what you have but it isn't a Pietenpol Air Camper. Being an experimental airplane, you are left to decide what size prop etc. you want to use. If the climb is OK and you are comfortable, go for it. There is a recommended RPM for each of the Continental variations and you could find those on the Continental website.

    Hello Mike, I also have a c-85 on mine. I like to fly a 72 x 42 prop. It seems to work very good on these slow planes. 2350 - 2400 on climb out is not too bad. I turn about 2425 on climb out with mine. They red line at 2575. I can reach that at full throttle in straight & level flight. -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=376772#376772

    Super-Duper Jack! A Sig Kadet would have been my guess too. Never owned one, but have built and flown many others. I guess it's the large wing tip angles that make it seem right... I believe that the Kadet has been around since before I started in the hobby in the 80s. Heck, even your R/C stuff looks great! -------- Mark Chouinard Wings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing Gear Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=376794#376794

    Well, Fell'ers I might try Brodhead if I get the Thurs and following Monday off.- Dad is probably going to sit this one out (even though he has the cofortable sleeping quarters).- I have to weld up a new exaust for the r/ h side with a heat muff for the carb heat.- It has cracked once before, o n our 1st time at Brodhead, that weld repair has reached it's end of its us efull life.- Dad ordered the flanges, now I need to get the tubing.- Th e current exaust is stainless, I was wondering how long anyone out there's mild steel exausts are holding up.- I can weld mild steel, never tried mu ch stainless (I got 8 hrs out of my last exaust repair using acetylene and mild steel rod).- I might just pay the welder across the street to weld a stainless stack with his TIG-after I cut out all the parts, but I am stu born and like to do it myself.- Also wondering if anyone here has ceramic oated there mild steel exaust pipes, and how expensive it is. - Hope to see you all in a few weeks, Shad Do not archive
