| Subject: | Re: Hightower's "Resignation" |
Mike, I couldn't agree with you more. If you read between the lines, it loo
ks like the board wanted him out. When I had my incident at OSH this year,
I had terrific help from a lot of EAA volunteers, and most of them were not
Hightower fans, by a long shot. Ask around about the $30,000 golf cart he
demanded. I've always camped in North 40 with a bunch of people, and we all
fly in together so that we can camp together. This year, it almost looked
like the marching orders were to intentionally not park groups together. Th
ere were a lot of upset folks, not just in our group.
I also hope they bring back the Sportair workshops. I attended several and
they were great.
Good riddance!
Matt Paxton

| Subject: | Re: Towing Gliders |
Paul, this may have already been covered, but I would think that if glider
towing is including in the Operating Limitations, you could legally do it.
You may not be able to do it for hire, though. I'm a glider pilot and a tow
pilot for our glider club. If the ultralight glider can be towed at speeds
of 55-60 mph, a Piet with a 75 or 85 hp engine might be a good towplane. I
would hesitate to tow with my 65 hp. Piet unless I was operating out of a
long strip with no obstructions. You need good climb performance in a towpl
ane, so more power would be a good thing since that's about all that added
power does for a Piet, increase the climb rate. I'd also want the release l
ever on the towplane end to be easily accessible. If it was on the floor, w
here many towplanes have them, it would be a struggle to reach it quickly.
I'd want a knob on the panel or just below it, very much like the red knob
in the center of the panel in the sailplane I fly. If you're going to do a
lot of towing, make sure your cooling is a good as you can make it. If you'
re using a Continental, make sure you have the inter-cylinder baffles insta
lled. A mechanical CHT gauge wouldn't be a bad idea also.

| Subject: | Re: Towing Gliders |
Thanks Mike; looks like all amateur built experimentals are issued the limitation
of no glider towing. but my thread describes two ways to possibly getting around
it. im using the high lift 613.5 riblett wing and stretching it as well,
so i believe the speeds will match up nicely. im using a corvair engine and will
be looking into a climb prop too. thanks for the heads up on cooling and
release location, great info, thanks; Paul

Paul-- Do you have a paint scheme selected yet for your Pietenpol? Sounds like
you'll be using the Corvair
engine and the Riblett wing.

Enjoyed our visit Earl Brown and hope your class reunion out in Chardon was fun.
Too bad it
wasn't today---we are in the low 70's.
Hope you're going to keep making sawdust this winter in PA!
All the best,
Mike C.

Hello Everyone, I read this forum everyday and it keeps me motivated in moving
forward on building my piet. I am looking at getting the pulleys for the aileron
cables. The plans call for 2 inch formica pulleys and 3/32 cable. I am looking
at ordering the pulleys from aircraft spruce part # A-123 (nas) it doesn't
show any hub dia. or load limit (lbs). I was wondering if anyone could tell me
if these pulleys are ok or have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Larry V

im tentatively thinking; silver wings with black leading edge and large NX numbers
underneath. tail feathers the same. fuselage design identical to Douwe's ,
but with black where the green is and a very deep red in place of the lighter
color. gold pin striping seperating the black from the other colors throughout.
and maybe a nastalgic sign on the side advertising a cloud seeding business.
I may change this several more times , as i have already done so in my head.
seems so far away, right now just a dream about what it will look like in the
end.
also the Keri Ann 3 piece wing and side door. 19 inch wheels, wood struts, center
flop, wide center section, center section, carving my prop,3 piece windshields,
taller and wider main gear like Mike Groah, and maybe even Douwe's main
gear axle wing for that added lift to help me clear the trees at the end of
the runway.
ok enough dreaming, a rib is calling my name. so far less than three months;
tail feathers , 21 ribs and engine tore down.
going to corvair college as well. i'm going to be sooo bored when im finished with
this. thanks for asking; Paul

The A-123 series pulleys are used on secondary controls because the pulley
has a plain bore. The MS24566 series are used on primary controls because
they have a sealed ball bearing hub. I am using the MS24566-3B pulleys
because I quite frankly didn't realize the aileron control cables were only
3/32nd. If I would have known this I might have gone with the -2B and
modified the fitting. As it is I will just watch and see if it's a problem
for the 3/32 cable but I don't think it will be a problem.
