| Subject: | Exaust stack,Brodhead |
Shad,
My original exhaust system was stainless. After it cracked for the fourth
time I replaced it with a mild steel set, which has held up for 5 years and
200+ hours of flying. I take it off every 3 years, beadblast it and paint
it with clear VHT paint. Works fine.

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, on our
1st time at Brodhead, that weld repair has reached it's end of its usefull
life. Dad ordered the flanges, now I need to get the tubing. The 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 much 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 stuborn and like
to do it myself. Also wondering if anyone here has ceramicoated there mild
steel exaust pipes, and how expensive it is.

I TIG welded my mild steel exhaust, then chrome-plated. I was told that thi

I'll have some control line models... and beer brewing equipment!
Wasn't bringing them to fly there, they're just tagging along on a relocation sort
of event. It's an ugly old thing (a modified Sig Banshee built in '91 and
'05) but it'll do the entire PAMPA stunt pattern easily. Also will have a Carl
Goldberg Buster built for Foxberg racing that I use as a trainer.

Shad,
A couple years ago I replaced my old mild steel stacks (they
were modified Aeronca) as they had deteriorated. I made mild steel
straight stacks then had them ceramic coated by a local shop, it cost
$100 for all four. They charged by the foot, and mine are about 15" long
I believe, so the rate must've been about $20/foot. The ceramic coating
looks great, like bare, fresh metal and I'd guess they'll look this good
for at least 15 years, the ceramic coating is very durable. The
challenge will be protecting the coating from getting scuffed by the
heat muff. I'd like to try using small amounts of fiberglass header wrap
between the muff and exhaust to keep them from getting scratched.
Hope
this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Not sure how the AMA or the FAA might look at those activities. The little park
fliers are one thing, and could probably be safely confined to a corner of the
field, but hot little nitro burners are probably another issue.
If it is just a show and tell... I'll bring some photos. As for flying... a little
risky given the other activities that will be going on.

It's an uncontrolled airfield, so the FAA shouldn't care. I"ve flown at uncontrolled
(and closed controlled) fields a lot over the years. The AMA has no jurisdiction
whatsoever.
Control line uses a hemisphere 120 feet in diameter. Radio control has a reasonable
chance of a fly away whether it's electric or gas, so Mark is right, somewhat
risky. However, there's times when no planes are airborne. The main issue
would be to coordinate any RC activity to prevent interference.

| Subject: | Bill's taxiing!! |
I just got a video of Bill Sayre taxiing his brand spanking new Pietenpol Air Camper
( and it's a REAL one) on the ramp at Gig Harbor. I've encouraged him to
post a link on this site.
It's refreshing to see a to-the-plans Piet with no apologies for supposed "necessary"
changes. Bill followed the plans, got through the model "A" conversion
and teething problems and now has a 1930's replica of an American icon.
Maybe the BPA will see fit to put this one on the cover someday and be able to
correctly label it as a Pietenpol Air Camper!!

Jurisdiction is not the issue... it is a matter of safety and liability (insurance
requirements). If you have any history at all with the AMA, you would know
where I am coming from. There are ways to do this, but given the size of the
field, the number people/aircraft and the activities, it might be a little sketchy
to meed certain requirements. Again, little park fliers probably would
not even be noticed by most, but before everyone packs up and hauls their 100+mph
3D stunt fliers out to corn country, we might need to think about this for
a minute.
As for the FAA, you are correct that it is an uncontrolled field, but if something
were to happen that resulted in the loss of life or property (yes, it has
happened with R/C), then I'm sure there would be agencies descending on the field
to sort things out.
Call me a worry wart... just making a few observations.

We, all Pietenpol enthusiasts, builders, flyers, visitors, etc., are
guests of EAA Chapter 431, who own the airport. As guests, we should
always be thankful the chapter allows the Pietenpol Association to have
the Fly In every year.
In all the years I've been attending,I don't recall any model airplanes
being flown during the Fly In.
Model airplanes may be an individuals passion, but the vast majority who
attend every year come to see our Pietenpol friends, admire their
airplane, enjoy the camaraderie and go away having had an enjoyable
time. We do not go to see model airplanes.
look forward to seeing you all at Brodhead

Thanks Brett,
Engine has just over 7.5 hours now and starts and runs much better. It is still
stiff after running to the point that I doubt I could get enough of a full swing
to get it to start until it has cooled a bit (no more than an hour) and I
havent adjusted the 'curb idle' to limit the throttle linkage at the idle end
yet so if it gets too slow the friction seems to take over and it cant pop through
every stroke at least thats my excuse. It does seem to stumble a bit from
low idle if the throttle is advanced too quickly and Ill play with timing
since I havent found a way to adjust the mixture on a Zenith 'B' carburetor.
I would characterize my ships ground handling as very responsive. Some might say
twitchy but I find it very honest. If you stomp on the rudder bar youll be
going for a ride, but if you just give it a bit it will turn without increasing
or decreasing the radius of the turn. I was really fortunate in that the airport
had cleared the ramp of tied down planes to get ready for the holiday festival
activities so I had all that room.
Bill

Well put P.F.....
There are people milling about, near the airplanes and back and forth
across the field....real airplanes on the ground (static, and taxiing
around), in the air....not exactly a safe, proper environment to be flying
RC stuff.
Additionally, Joe Smith may be a very competent RC pilot who can skillfully
control his airplane; but if he gets to fly, so does Joe Schmuckatelli, who
thinks he is a hotshot pilot but is not. So when he loses control and slams
his Ugly Stik into an airplane, a building, people.....things would get
ugly real fast. :)
Real airplanes for real airplane fly-ins, RC airplanes for RC airplane
fly-ins.

I have a local shipping agent here in Australia dealing with it but I need

Does anybody know of a packer closer to Braggs that could pack the Piet in

Hi Guys,
I have just bought Dale McCleskey's Piet and am presently trying to ship it
to Australia.
I have a local shipping agent here in Australia dealing with it but I need
some help with the packing. It will need to be packed in a 20 foot
container.
The aircraft is presently disassembled in Braggs OK. The shipper has a
packer in Florida and another in San Francisco. Both are a bit far from
Braggs!
Does anybody know of a packer closer to Braggs that could pack the Piet in
the container for me?
Many thanks
Peter

We used oiled duck cloth, and I made them. 3 recommendations if you choose to
go that direction...
1. wash the fabric first.
2. use vinegar in the wash load in order to set the dye
3. use scotch guard to help repel water (for us it only gets wet at Brodhead)

I know I am way ahead of myself here but I was considering using Sunbrella.
I had a boat cover made with it and it sure is holding up well.

You beauty Peter! At this rate we will be having our own Brodhed right here in
Aussie in a few years. There are going to be a good number flying here in the
coming years! Email the details, is it a project or a flyer?
Very excited for you!

Gary,
I used the best vinyl I could get from the local fabric shop, on Felix. Used Turn
Button Fasteners on the front pit and just snaps on the back pit, I never fly
with the back pit covered.

I did the requisite matronics search and found a few vague references to some generic
covering materials. Does anyone have a specific product or supplier that
they like?

Good idea about the turn buttons, Skip! I had those on my old MGA many years
ago, but didn't know what they were called.
Of course, I don't have any PIC time in a Piet, yet, but I fully expect to
not fly with the rear cockpit covered, either. :-l
