Subject: | Re: Nicopress tools |
I believe what your looking for is a Nicopress 64-CGMP. You can get one with a
cable cutter which is a little more expensive. New they are around the $280USD
from what I have found. I am looking for one also. I have been advised against
using the cheaper models but im no expert so take that with a grain of salt.
There is one on Ebay right now and has been on there for months. I looked in to
it but it has had a hard life and it looks like bolts have been replaced. With
all that they want too much for it. I would rather pay a little extra for a
new one.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Nicopress tools
Hello all,
When I originally built the Pietenpol, I used a manual swaging tool - I
think it is called a Swage-it. It is the one where you tighten some bolts
to crush the sleeves. I am interested in getting a bolt-cutter style
swaging tool. The only sizes I should need to swage are 1/16, 3/32, and
1/8. I see a lot of previously owned Nicopress tools on ebay. However, I
do not know how to identify the correct model number to do what I want to
do. These should be relatively plentiful as they are really a telephone
company technology. Does anybody have any information and experience on
which model to get?
Thanks!
JMG

Subject: Pietenpol-List: FW: First Flight
List,
I just posted this to family, and personal friends. To this list, I wish to
add the following:
I have not yet flown it, myself, for various reasons. Test pilot, Roy Richa
rdson, flying a Pietenpol for the first time, reported that it flies beauti
fully, even hands off; this despite what we thought was a malfunctioning AS
I. Since he was unsure of his airspeed (turns out he was cruising at 65mph)
, he tended to be a little conservative, and the engine being a little tigh
t, oil temp was high.
More later, as I work thru some stuff

Subject: First Flight
Family & Friends (If you ever expressed an interest in my project, even if
you faked interest, you made it to the Family & Friends List!..and, if you
have received this circuitously, and think you should have been on the list
, my apologies!),
Here is a picture taken in 1972 at a fly-in/airshow in Madera, Ca., where I
had flown my recently restored Taylorcraft BC12-D (inset).
I was 19 years oldand hung-over for the first time (its own bitter
sweet story!). Bad as my headache was, I wasn=99t in such poor shape
that I couldn=99t recognize the simple beauty of a Pietenpol, telling
myself, =9CSomeday=9D For those who may not know, thi
s airplane was designed by Bernard Pietenpol in 1927. It has always only ex
isted as a set of plans, by which aviation experimenters have been building
Pietenpols around the world for the past 80+ years.
Fast forward 40 years, after realizing the futility of staying in aviation
and raising a family since 1985, my dream of building & flying that simple
little airplane has been finally fulfilled! This airplane is a tribute to m
y father, a die-hard do-it-yourselfer. The FAA =98N=99 number,
NX308MB, contains his initials, along with the month and year of his passin
g, which, not without coincidence, is the month and year that I began work
on the Pietenpol. I miss you, Dad
FAA airworthiness inspection & certificate was granted on August 8, 2012,
and first flight was today, August 25, 2012, by test pilot, Roy Richardson,
without incident. Construction is wood and fabric, powered by a Corvair en
gine and my own hand-carved prop! This initial flight will be followed by 4
0 hours of solo test flight where I will establish the parameters of the ai
rcraft operation (which is a fancy way of saying, =9CStay in the air,
when you want toLand, when & where you want to.)

Gardiner it is better than my wildest imagination. I have 22 hours on it now.
When the weather dries up some I will pick up the pace some. It rained the last
2 weeks of July and over 2 weeks in August. It is dry now and I flew this
morning. Dog gone hurricane coming now. It will be next Thursday at best before
I fly again. How is your Piet coming along?

If memory serves the holes are lettered and I believe I use the M hole for my 1/8
inch cables. Here is a table that shows what to use for each size.

Just make sure you get the tool to check the fitting after it is swaged. I bought
my off ebay used but from what I understand they are available in the wire
rope section at some stores like lowas and home depot.

Subject: | Re: Nicopress tools |
i bought the one from Lowes. im away from house but i think it was 45.00? will
press 3 different sleeves i believe. Jerry Dotson recommended it to me. the big
thing is to get the little swaging gauge from AS&S , and make adjustments to
the tool if needed to get correct diameter press. also follow ac43.13 for correct
order in making the three presses.

Subject: | Thank you from Kevin & Shelley |
We're hard pressed to express our appreciation to those of you who contributed
to Operation Axel. Your generosity is overwhelming. Thank you.
If you look at the number of contributors and the amount of money contributed,
the average donation is substantial. Given what we know about bell curves, some
of you were extraordinarily generous. Again, thank you.
Thanks to John Recine for the suggestion and particularly to Ryan Mueller for doing
the leg work. Both good friends!
We have decent health insurance, but this event still won't be cheap. We'd like
you to know what your donations accomplished:
- You got FBG back to her hangar,
- You got us back home,
- You've bought all the new wing spars and longerons:),
- You paid the rockstars at Brodhead Fire Department their fee for coming to get
my broken butt out of the FBG safely.
All these expenses were out of pocket.
We owe you. Not sure how to pay you back except to feed you spaghetti with joy
and love in the coming years. Please make sure you contact us when you come
through Austin so we can show you love here as well.
A note of thanks to those of you who have e-mailed, called, prayed, Facebooked,
sent gifts, visited (30 visitors in the hospital in Madison!!!!), and given other
help. John Hoffman and Susan Rees were Shelley's lifeline and support system
in Madison. Jim Markle has been extraordinary in several ways. Shelley's
ex, Dammit-Jim, my husband-in-law, came to Madison, got the boy and the rental
van and took them both back to Austin.
We've received several offers of parts and pieces. Thank you all for your generosity.
I haven't contacted everyone but I will.
We love you!
Kevin & Shelley

Special Thank you also to Dan Helsper, who did the word smithing and convinced
us to allow this to happen (and for running through the corn field with me, never
letting go of my hand).
Also thanks to Rick Schreiber, Gary Booth, Bill Church, Edgar Howe, Mike Weeden,
Bill Knight and anyone else who lent a helping hand at the airport that I failed
to mention here.
Also thanks to our dear friends Rob Busch, Mike Cuy, Ryan Meuller and John Hoffman
for coming to the hospital to make Kevin and I laugh. I believe that did
more for Kevins recovery than anything. He looked more like himself after you
guys had been there.
Also thanks to the people from far away, who sent local friends to look in on us
at the hospital.
OXOXOX
