Dave,
Did you save the prop that your brother Tim carved when he was in college?

I have been working almost a year now on the GN-1 project I inherited from
my
father. I got it as a fuselage with A-65 engine, tail feathers and some win
g
ribs. In the meantime, I built an engine mount, made Cub gear, tore down,
rebuilt and ran the engine, put in heel brakes, fit a Cub fuel tank, made b
oth
front and rear cockpit panels and started the center section. From a looks
standpoint, probably the most important thing that I did was rid it of 30 y
ears
of cobwebs so it can stand proud. I hope to have the CS and turtle deck do
ne
over the winter and start the wings next spring.
Before and after pictures below.

Hello; as always asking something.
Is there any problem in use ball bearings than bronze in the wheels hubs?, and

Hi Mario,
I don't know about ball bearings for an axle application. I'm not sure how
well they would react to side loading. Most people use bronze bushings. I
used tapered roller bearings on mine and they have worked well. You can buy
them from McMaster-Carrr:

Dan,
Yes, that is the prop brother Tim carved out of mahogany planks while in college.
I am ever amazed and humbled by his craftsmanship. Hard to think we are of
the same genes.
One thing of note for those with sharp eyeballs. Even though this is a GN-1, I
have changed the strut and wing attach to be Pietenpol so I can translate the
wing for CG purposes. I also made the CS 6" wider after visiting with Skip Gadd
and his project. I need a wider flop in order to help get my fat a$$ in and
out.

Oscar,
If you need a place to stay over night just let me know. I'm in Lancaster CA just
5 miles so. of KWJF (fox field). Plenty of room to park your moving truck
at the house. Could save you a hotel bill. Heck, you may even eat better.

Oscar,
If your migration with Scout takes you through Salt lake city, Utah
cutting over to Oregon you also have a place to stay and eat. Lots of
room and good food too.

Yesterday, I spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening with Jim Boyer, where
he graciously allowed me to tinker with him on his engine. We set the
starter, and timed the distributer. He's not too far from running his engine
now!
Afterward, Jim & Arlene took me out to dinner.What a deal! I might quit my
job and do this full time!
In typical Pietenpoler fashion, Jim offered me his Warp Drive prop while I
re-carve a new one, as did Kevin Purtee.

At present, my plan is to head up to Lubbock, TX after I leave San Antonio. I'll
pick up some engine parts that a friend has had stored there for me for many
years, and also try to get together with Raymond Hanover (GN-1 builder/pilot)
to look at a fuel tank. From there, I'll cut over to Albuquerque and possibly
have a plate of green enchiladas with a colleague from Sandia National Labs.
Then on to Flagstaff... Kingman... Las Vegas... Tonopah... Reno... then I-5
to Medford. You could say that I'm going the back way ;o)

Dave;
Although it will never be a Pietenpol (always a Grega), it looks beautiful! You
have made a tremendous amount of progress in just a year. Welcome to the Air
Camper/Aircamper fleet, one of the few places where slower is better, older
is cooler, and you will always get more attention with your airplane on the ramp
than any RV will ;o)

Spars are now routed. thirteen pounds
removed. Total spar weight now 261/2 lb.
They are true fir ( not Douglas ) and 1"
thick.
The bit used is this one;

See that table with all the stuff on it? Well
guess where my wing panels are supposed
to be built? It took years to load it like that.
Every single thing lovingly placed ( dumped )
and now just as lovingly needs a new home.
