Well, I have never flown a Piet but I don't believe it would be all that
different from a Cub or T-craft or any such. I have always used and taught
(when I was instructing in the Navy as well as civilian) the "wing down"
crosswind technique. You're really just slipping into the wind with no
sudden change at the bottom just before touchdown. Basically, keep the
airplane over the 'centerline' with the ailerons and the airplane lined up
with the centerline with the rudder ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. C

That's a good technique as well. It's all relative I suppose. I did the bankcheck
hauling in the 80's (8 -9 legs/night) in Learjets, so I got accustomed to having
to avoid dragging a tip tank in severe x-winds, de-crabbing in the flare.
Now flying the 747-8/-400's, as well as the Dreamlifter (LCF). Our manual states
5 deg bank limit to avoid scraping #1 or 4. So I find it much easier to basically
de-crab in the flare to touchdown. I'd probably ground loop trying the
sideslip the GN-1 from 200' up after all these years of doing it the "easy"
way.

Chris. First off, I am stoked to see your plane! Any chance of broadhead? Secondly,
I modified helsper's brake design and I really like it. A toe actuator
sticks out from the fuse walls just in front of my toes, they go thru slots
in the wood to flay stock levers which lie against the outside of the ply , between
ply and fabric, their ends protrude out a slot at the bottom and a cable
from each brake Ron's to them. All you see in the cockpit is a two inch tube
sticking in, everything else is hidden. Just like dans in concept, just moved
some stuff outboard.

| Subject: | Oil temp / Water temp gauge |
Trying to take care of my instrument overhauls early and do not have my fuselage
but yet, or know the location of connection on the Model A engine, but can anyone
tell me how long the leads need to be to reach for the oil temp and a water
temp gauge? I have a oil temp gauge with a 56" lead. Will that be long enough
for a Model A engine? From the rear cockpit . Seems like the longest I can
find is 60" if I was to buy another one. Thanks

Hi Douwe,
Brodhead is in my sights!! just not sure if i can get the 40 hrs off before then.
I am optimistically shooting for May to be test flying. I am finishing up the
fusalage stuff before i cover it, everything else is done and painted. Its
exciting putting stuff together for the FINAL time, using the right hardware and
putting in the cotter keys...
Can you take some pictures of your brake set up?

Douwe,
How far does your toe actuator stick out form the fuse wall? And how far
above and (I assume) in front of neutral rudder bar?

Good evening all,
My transponder is mounted in the center section. Is there any reason to NOT
locate the encoder close by?
Thanks!

No reason at all, Jack. That's what I did. I also put the transponder
antenna inside the wing, just outboard of the centersection mounted on a 6"
diameter aluminum groundplane. Works just fine.

Triscout, Would that have been AIRNET, that you flew for?- I work with a
bunch of guys who worked there for many years in Columbus Ohio.
