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.

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.

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.

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 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 06:37:33 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pitenpol Air CAmper Prop Size From: "AircamperN11MS" Mike, Please email me off line for more information. scott.liefeld@lacity.org pietman@qnet.com -------- 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=376773#376773 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:20:33 AM PST US From: "Cuy, Michael D.

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.
