Hey folks=2C I was on the list a few years ago=2C and have been unsubscri
bed for some time. I was never able to really get started due to health iss
ues my wife has. I am only on to let you know I need to get rid of my p
roject. I have the wood for the fuse=2C wing ribs=2C and tail group. It is
all Spruce. I got most all of it from Carl Levkin=2C who was=2C and still m
ay be a member here. He gave me the wood for the tail group. Carl also gave
me the the wood for the fuse for a donation to his EAA chapter=2C in Compt
on. He cut the wood up for me for the fuse=2C and cut the stringers to be l
aminated. He said this would be stronger. Anyway=2C I believe I donated 75.
00 bucks to the Compton EAA group for the fuse wood.I bought the wood for t
he ribs from a member here for I think around 100.00=2C and I would like t
o pass this on to someone who might have the time and where withall to use
for they're project. Carl was way kind to me while we were in communication
=2C and I would like to further his kindness to someone else=2C pay ot forw
ard so to speak!! I will take 100.00 for the fuse wood=2C and also have
a Corvair engine I was going to retrofit for this plane as well. The engine
is all apart=2C but Carl had my shaft drilled and tapped for the safety sh
aft needed to install the prop and adapter for same. I am moving=2C and nee
d to find a home for this stuff=2C hopefully someone who will use it. 100.0
0 bucks gets it all. As I said=2C I don't know if Carl is still around=2C i
f he is and some here know him=2C give him my regards=2C he was a fine man.
I wish I could have done him right by getting the Piet built=2C but realli
ty says it is not to be. I also have a wing rib Jib that a Gent from Down S
an Diego way gave me. I remeber his name as Gene=2C and I believe right bef
ore I unsubscribed from this list=2C he got his airworthiness Cetificate fo
r his Piet. I contacted him to see if he wanted the jib back but don't thin
k I ever heard back from him. If he is still on this list=2C the jib is his
=2C if not=2C it will be part of the deal here for a hundred bucks. Please
take me up on this deal=2C but only if you intend on using the material to
build a Piet. I am moving and it needs to go by the 21st of January. Thanks

| Subject: | Re: Panel coamings |
Paul,
I have two fuel tanks. At this point, my plan is to cover the center
section tank with fabric. I've thought about making a removable panel
over that tank, but am inclined against that. It isn't hard to patch
the fabric up there, if that should ever prove necessary. And I like
the look of fabric across the entire upper surface of the wing.
In fact, my plan is to use four inch fabric tape to cover the gaps
between the wing roots and the center section, rather than using
strips of aluminum to cover those gaps. I figure if I ever have to
remove the wings and trailer the plane out of a field, I have bigger
problems to worry about than cutting along that gap and patching later
with new fabric tape.
For the nose tank, I haven't fully decided yet but am leaning toward
plywood, though in truth I have a spare piece of aluminum, as well as
a piece of plywood that could work there. That decision can wait
awhile. Its way too cold currently here in Colorado to be in the
hangar, let alone to mix epoxy, apply varnish, or handle any piece of
metal.
At the moment, I'm appreciating the vapor-free qualities of the
Stewart covering system because I can do that in the basement while
watching football games.
Cheers, Ken

| Subject: | Continetal Gauges |
For information, incase those w/Cont engines are interested:
I've been looking to replace my oil temp & pressure gauges in the GN-1, as the
oil temp gauge I have was never the correct range scale, and my pressure gauge
is cracked and dinged up. I was never quite satisfied w/my searches. I came close
to what I'd like w/Stewart Warner gauges, but still no joy. I preferred the
270 deg sweep of the older antique gauges with no label clutter (basic labeling).
I began to think none were out there until I was walking around an old
WW2 museum north of Luxembourg in Diekirch. I looked at the panel in the old Jeeps
and "bingo!".. they appear to be the perfect range scale for Continentals.
You can get them at any Jeep restorer's website. standard 2" mechanical gauges...

| Subject: | Re: Panel coamings |
Ken; i agree with the fabric having best look up top. Not sure how much people
will really see it though. i built a wide center section and have the much taller
Riblett 613.5 wing , so i think im going to build an access panel. ill have
enough room for 20 gallons and a very small storage area.
i'm thinking of building a hinged door made out of ribs that are about an inch
deep, and cover with fabric. but im not sure if i can build it as light as
i like and still withstand the fabric shrinking process. never worked with fabric
before. Time will tell. Thanks for the reply. Paul

Looking good Jack. Better hurry and install them if you're going to fly it

I am interested in all, and can pick up by this weekend. My Piet is done, b
ut am starting another project, which will be Corvair powered, too. I live
in N. Calif, but can easily make the drive.

I am only on to let you know I need to get rid of my project. I have the

ve me the wood for the tail group. Carl also gave me the the wood for the f
use for a donation to his EAA chapter, in Compton. He cut the wood up for m

e stronger. Anyway, I believe I donated 75.00 bucks to the Compton EAA grou
p for the fuse wood.I bought the wood for the ribs from a member here for I
think around 100.00, and I would like to pass this on to someone who migh
t have the time and where withall to use for they're project. Carl was way
kind to me while we were in communication, and I would like to further his
kindness to someone else, pay ot forward so to speak!!
I will take 100.00 for the fuse wood, and also have a Corvair engine I w
as going to retrofit for this plane as well. The engine is all apart, but C
arl had my shaft drilled and tapped for the safety shaft needed to install
the prop and adapter for same. I am moving, and need to find a home for thi
s stuff, hopefully someone who will use it. 100.00 bucks gets it all. As I
said, I don't know if Carl is still around, if he is and some here know him
, give him my regards, he was a fine man. I wish I could have done him righ
t by getting the Piet built, but reallity says it is not to be. I also have
a wing rib Jib that a Gent from Down San Diego way gave me. I remeber his
name as Gene, and I believe right before I unsubscribed from this list, he
got his airworthiness Cetificate for his Piet. I contacted him to see if he
wanted the jib back but don't think I ever heard back from him. If he is s
till on this list, the jib is his, if not, it will be part of the deal here
for a hundred bucks. Please take me up on this deal, but only if you inten
d on using the material to build a Piet. I am moving and it needs to go by
the 21st of January. Thanks,

Doug,
First, I am sorry to hear this. I guess it's a point in our lives that we
reach at some point.
I am interested in all, and can pick up by this weekend. My Piet is done,
but am starting another project, which will be Corvair powered, too. I live
in N. Calif, but can easily make the drive.

| Subject: | Beyond the FGM, an article on Model A's by Mr Pietenpol |
Some time ago, I found this article in a Google books search. Unfortunately, I
wasn't able to find the final installment online, as it looks like the February
1933 edition of Popular Aviation escaped the scanner. Despite this, there is
some very good information here that seems to have been left out of the Flying
and Glider Manual articles and even some important info that didn't make it
to the plans. As an example, I wonder how many engines have been converted and
flown with timing gears that rubbed on the sheetmetal timing gear cover? I
know of two, and both of them showed signs of significant friction and heat in
that area that couldn't have been good. Other than word of mouth (Brodhead
hangar flying), this article is the only place I've seen this addressed. If nothing
else, it is interesting to read and see how Mr Pietenpol did things. Some
of the pictures serve as a reminder that he was always trying something new
and different, but only the best ideas made it to the drawings.
Part I: http://books.google.com/books?id=GGjqbo_okC8C&pg=PA373#v=onepage&q&f=false
Part II: http://books.google.com/books?id=45bBAIHPTtIC&pg=PA36#v=onepage&q&f=false
Does anyone know where to find a February, 1933 issue of P.A.? I've been watching
Ebay for a while, but no luck yet.

What material and thickness of same are people using for their tanks? If
aluminum for example, what alloy, hardness and thickness? Same for
galvanized and stainless please. Am kind of leery of fiberglass for fear
of deterioration if I have to use auto gas.
