Crew, I am ready to make my exhaust pipes. I am leaning towards making four
straight pipes. (Maybe angled some or a small bend...)- I would prefer s
tainless...
My questions are:
Diameter?
Wall thickness?
Minimal length?
Flange thickness? (or should I buy?)
I'll need heat muff ideas as well.
Any other suggestions appreciated!

Continental A65's use 1-1/2" diameter exhaust stacks. Lycomings use 1-3/4".
For Stainless most use .035" wall. I would buy the flanges from ACS. Be
sure you shield the inside of the tubing during the welding process. The
argon from the TIG torch will shield the exterior of the weld but with such
thin material the inside of the tube will be nearly as hot and unshielded
unless you make provisions for it. Best way is to fill the tube with argon
and plug the ends, then weld before the argon can leak out. To tell when
the tube is full of argon, if you can stick a lit match inside the tube and
it stays lit you still have oxygen in there.
If you do not shield the tube interior, the exhaust system will crack in the
first 50 hours (ask me how I know).

Mike,
502Rocket has these stainless wraps on each rear pipe. They meet at a
Y-connector then feed the carb heat box. I can take some detailed
pictures this weekend when I am out at the hangar if you are interested.
The straight pipes are good 'n loud too. Mikee told me when I made my
arrival at Brodhead this year he could hear me for a bit before I popped
over the trees.

Understood Jack, thanks. I have made an internal purge line for some other SS welding
I have done. On these larger tubes, I plan to plug one end and leave a
very small hole. The other will be plugged, save for the inlet of the purge line.
The purge can be set to supply a low flow through the entire SS tube.

I made new straight stacks for my plane a year or two ago. I used
these flanges from
ACS:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/steelexauststackflanges.php
I
just bought the pipe from a local exhaust shop. It is 1.5", only one
size will fit the flanges. Mine are about 15" long, I just made them
long enough that I would be able to secure a heat muff. I used mild
steel (not stainless) since I intended to ceramic coat them.
I had them
ceramic coated by a local shop and they look great (about $100). Easy to
clean and they won't corrode or deteriorate at all for years. They look
great but the ceramic coating isn't a very authentic look if you are
going for period correctness. I have an awkward affinity for shiny metal
and my plane isn't period correct so that is what I did.
:)

John H. actually sounded like an 0-200 on a C-150 approaching from the Ea
st of Brodhead and it sounded GREAT. I could hear him coming
for a long time. Very unique sound to John's setup and I think the wind ca
rried his engine sound nicely to Brodhead from his approach.
His hands were freezing when I shook hands with him. Down low on the groun
d it was fairly comfortable but up a few hundred feet John
and other pilots that day said it was downright chilly!

Michael, for my first exhaust system I used stainless flanges, straight
stacks and curves from Aircraft Spruce. They worked great for the first 40
hours then began cracking due to the lack of shielding during welding as
mentioned before. I cut the pieces using a "Joint-Jigger" and fitted them
in place using scraps of sheet steel and hose clamps.
Here is a picture of the Joint-Jigger setup:
And then test-fitting the cut:
After it cracked 3 times I replaced it with a plain carbon steel setup which
I've been flying with ever since. No ceramic coating, I just beadblast it
and paint it with clear VHT paint every 3 years or so.

I've slightly exaggerated the position of the cap strip on the aileron spar to
demonstrate how it will not be on the same plane as the aileron spars if not shaped.
Did those of you using the piano hinge shape this cap strip so the hinge
will lay flush?

Thanks Jack and I understand what you are saying. When I cut out the aileron I
will move the hinge flush to the top of the cap strip. But, the cap strip, when
glued on without shaping, will not be flush with the sides of the aileron
spars because the aileron spars are cut on top at an angle other than 90 degrees.
I new this was going to be hard to explain and that is why I drew the box
on the image. Clear as mud???

You would need to rip those strips wider than the spars, then rasp flat with the

When you install the aileron spar hold it back the thickness of the piano hinge
so the aileron trailing edge lines up with the wing after you install the piano
hinge. This should give you a little room between the aileron spar and the
vertical plank in the wing. When you cut out the aileron, cut the cap strip
flush with the vertical plank in the wing. This should leave enough cap strip
overhanging to sand at an angle flush with the aileron spar. You will also need
to add filler strips between the cap strips. These you sand flush with the
spars so when the piano hinge is flush with the top of the aileron it will lay
flush against the spar.

Subject: | tailwheel spring |
Paul,
You can see my entire process on www.westcoastpiet.com. One change I made
was to make a bend in the legs to give the tailwheel the right angle. It now
functions very smoothly. Let me know if you have any questions.

Did you bend the SS yourself Jack?=C2- What type SS did you use?=C2- So
me weld/machine better and others have better corrosion/heat tolerance.=C2
-=C2- (Which I am sure you already know, as do others...), ACS sells 32
1 SS tube, but wow...very, very pricey!
I have 304, maybe 316 handy, but the wall is .065 and I am not sure either
one would be suitable for this task.=C2- I believe 316 is quite a bit har
der to bend then 304...if I=C2- were to decide on bends...
This is all good stuff, keep it coming!

wow Gary , beautiful. love how you bent the tubing. i was planning on making the
angle adjustment by welding a triangle piece of steel on both sides then plating
below. your way is much better. simpler, lighter, better looking.
Ill check it out on west coast piet and let you know if i have any questions.
Thanks. Paul PS ; progress report; finished vert stab, rudder, elevators,
and about 1/4 way through the horizontal stab.

Spring is John Deere. I don't have the part number at my finger tips, but
I'll bet someone here does. Tailwheel is from ACS.

Subject: | "...you must be proud!" |
Jack (et al),
I've been thinking about this since you used that word. My brain fires
slowly, which is why the Pietenpol is the perfect/only plane for me! Funny,
but I guess I really don't feel 'proud'..
Building airplanes is all I have ever really wanted to do, since my young
adult-hood. Life didn't allow that to happen until recently, but the
question always in my mind was, "Am I good enough?" "Can I really do it?"
The feeling that has been most relative is.Relief!
I was relieved when my Corvair started up the first time!
I was relieved when my Dan Helsper/PF Beck assisted, hand carved prop didn't
fly off into the neighbor's living room window!
I was relieved when my guestimates for cabane slants and engine mount length
brought the W&B right where it needs to be!
I was relieved when test pilot, Roy Richardson, reported good flying
characteristics!
I was relieved that the tribute to my father appeared to have been a
success! And I haven't even flown it yet! That'll just be icing, because,
more than anything, he was a builder of things.
.but all that has been replaced with an incredible sense of humility.
I am humbled by all the incredible work that I see fellow builders doing.
I am humbled by the steady stream of looki-lews coming thru my hangar
doors.then I go see their amazing work.
I am humbled by a local P51 owner/pilot, standing next to me, watching the
first take off, and he's more excited than I am (I'm just relieved!).
I am humbled when our own godfather, who's fantastic video most of us had
purchased in our early days of excitement, giving us our first, real glimpse
into the Pietenpol World, sends ME a personal note of congratulations.
I am humbled when one of our fellow builder/pilots, a bona-fide national
freakin' hero, calls ME to congratulate me.
I am humbled by the camaraderie of this entire group, and their endless
generosity.
No, I guess 'proud' is not the word for how I feel about my plane, though I
know that's not exactly what you meant.
Thank you!
