Subject: | Contributions Down By 23%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by roughly 23%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply
to cover my operating
costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists
and rely solely on the Contributions of members to keep the expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, dual T1 connection with public address space.
I also maintain a full
backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the
event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive
data could be restored
onto a new server in a matter of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I
ask that members that
feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a modest Contribution each
year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you
can use a credit card,
Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Or, drop a personal check in the mail to:

Thank you for your support!

I have used this STA-BIL for years in my 1997 22.5 hp Sears tractor/lawnmower
with no problems at all. I use it in my chainsaw gas too. Avgas is good stuff
for storing as well as for running. Way back when I worked at St Lucie airport(KFPR)
and we had a 16 hp Briggs powered Yazoo that never saw auto gas. We used
what was convienient....80/87 avgas. Never a problem.

Michael, they ARE needed if he doesn['t have the vertical members in the
ribs to attach to the spar. You and I were smart by putting those
vertical members in -- the older plans do not show the verticals. Oh!
I forgot. I used the GN-1 rib plan for my ribs. That plan has the
verticals at each spar location. Chuck

Subject: | Re: Wing Spar help? |
Chuck is correct. From the manual the family sells:
Note 12. Wedges.
These are the wedges that are fit between the rib and the top of the spar.
I've been frequently asked what value they serve. Rather than try to answer
the question, I'll express to you that Mr. Pietenpol was very insistent
that these wedges were installed over the spar. There is a heavy
compression load at this point.
As a side note, from the Q&A section:
Q: Why not reshape the top of the spar to fit the shape of the rib?
A: Adds weight, serves no useful purpose. It would also require that the
lift strut wing fittings be redesigned.
That is all crew.

Subject: | Re: Wing Spar help? |
I was not aware that some forms of the rib plans do not indicate the vertical supports.
(F&G manual?) I believe the full size Pietenpol rib plan does. (I did
not use this plan, I built the Riblett 312, which also shows said verticals.)
Interesting...

Hi Douwe,
I have several bikes and cars that get little use. I run them dry if they
are going to sit. just turn off the gas with a petcock on the bikes.
Cars have a fuel pump cutoff switch so I can run them dry aswell. No
problems for many years.
Love avgas!!! But still like to run them dry....
Best Regards,
Dave

Here's a Grega GN-1 with a VW engine. The poster lists himself as being
from Brazil.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd0OtA9Du-k&feature=plcp
If you follow what the Airdrome WWI airplane builders are using you'll noti
ce they
are using reduction drive units (as others have mentioned) but all of the p
lanes they fly
are single-seaters.
My guess is that you could in fact fly a Pietenpol with a VW engine with a
reduction drive but
it will most likely be a single seat airplane. Also you'd better build it
extremely light:) !

Glue alone will hold it fine. The under side has high pressure, so no aerodynamic
forces pulling it away which only leaves the shrink of the fabric pulling
it loose, and there's no reason to put full shrink on it.
Also, it's not a matter of only having ribs to glue the fabric to, but the entire
surface which gives tons of area for hold.

You can keep a nice neat and uniform appearance if you run a capstrip in the location
where a rib would be and glue it to the underside of the plywood. It adds
a little stiffness to the plywood too. Then drill small holes in the plywood
and stitch the fabric to the capstrip/plywood. Keeps it very neat and uniform
and I always like the idea of stitching rather than glueing, even if it is
on the underside. That's how I did mine... but again, there are many "correct"
methods out there. :D

Don's right Paul, there are many ways to cover the center section. I glued
100% of the fabric to the plywood using the Stewart System "ekobond"
diluted 5% per Dan Stewart's recommendation. See attached pics. It is
attached very well.

Hi Jim - We dumped 11 gallons in and then 9.5 came out during the flow test. At
6 gph that gives me 1:35 flight time. I made the tank to the plans without
considering the higher fuel consumption of my engine.
16 gallons will give you more flight time than you want.

Had a chance to fly both airplanes ' my Pietenpol and my RV-4 today.
63=B0
and calm winds, which is a far cry from the high of 42=B0 they are
forecasting
for tomorrow. This time of year I try to fly the Pietenpol every day
that I
can with warm temperatures. Very nice flying above Smith Mountain Lake,
a
beautiful lake surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. Here=92s a video
shot
by a friend of mine as I took him and his wife flying in my plane a
couple
of years ago. I think I posted this a couple of years ago but some of
the
newer builders might enjoy this as inspiration for the coming winter
(prime
building) months.

Very important point Kevin just made.- Fuel starvation is a common theme
in homebuilts.
Just because you got 11 gallon tank don't mean you got 11 gallons of usable
fuel.
We have a center section fuel tank in our Piet...- 11 gallons.. 8 gallons
useable.- We go with a 4 gallon burn on our A65 which technically gives
us about 1.5 hours endurance per the FARs.- As a club rule, we land with
60 minutes instead of 30 remaining in the tank.- I can only stand about a
n hour anyway.- After that, I have to get out and do some yoga.
Another thing... We also noticed that in an extended slip, we are easily ab
le to unport the fuel pickup and starve the engine!!!- With the metal pro
pellor windmilling, the A65 started right back up as soon as the slip was t
erminated.- Now that I think of it, I wonder if our new wooden prop will
windmill like the metal one does.-

I give quite a few rides and one thing I've been doing lately is holding a camera
out to the side and snapping a picture of the passenger. Been getting pretty
good at my aim. They seem to really like the pictures and want to have a copy
of it. I thought I might try to step it up a little and try to mount a video
camera out on the strut. Does anybody know what a decent, small, and inexpensive
video camera might be to recommend?

Don; thanks for previous response on center section.
i would definitely get a gopro. approx 170 degree lens, high def, simple, and
extremely good video quality. all my hang gliding buds use them and mount along
wing to get almost the whole glider and pilot in video. even myth busters
uses them very frequently (tv quality). Paul

Don,
Have you seen what can be done with a fairly inexpensive gopro rig? It is
amazing! Robert Lees put his on Greg Cardinal's piet during the Brodhead
fly-in this Summer. Of course it's main function is video, but you can get
incredible still pics from the video. You can give your passenger a nice
little video of their piet ride. Check out gopro.com. Have you made out
your Christmas list for Santa yet??

Mr. Bacon mentioned the GoPro. This is from Brodhead giving Ben Markle a
ride:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YjSybZNfS4
It took all of 30 seconds to mount the camera on the jury strut and it was
ready to go. With a little more thought and creativity with mounting
locations and a little editing a person could make some decent ride videos.
The newest version of the GoPro looks REALLY nice.

Subject: | Re: Greg Bacon's progress |
Mike,
Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it. Since you asked, I took a
few pics this evening. See attached.
Although progress has stalled a bit recently due to deer hunting season and
Thanksgiving, I did actually move the ball forward by getting the wing
struts powder coated this month. They look phenomenal, and for $12 each,
it was a bargain.
The wing and CS are both covered and awaiting UV and finished paint coats.
The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight!
I also included pics of the aileron cable penetrations, because I thought
it was worth sharing. Except for widening the CS, I'm attempting to
duplicate John Dilatush's work in order to have closely matching wing
panels. John modified the inspection plate for the bottom aileron
penetration. This is cool because it gives nice access to the pulleys and
top cable. Does anyone know if this is John's idea, or have others done
this?
There is a fair amount of work to be done on the fuselage prior to flying;
new bungees, replace gas lines, clean gas tank, fix flat tire, change oil,
install new battery, and a few other tasks. I'm sure some other things
will pop up to. Will keep you posted.

in the location where a rib would be and glue it to the underside of the p
lywood.- It adds a little stiffness to the plywood too.- Then drill sma

Appears to be. He apparently replied to your thread on the center section to include
some photos. I don't see it either.
