I have been working on my air scoops for my Corvair for the past few
days. Trying to design it without much to go on made the task somewhat
more difficult. Thanks to help from Gary Boothe, I finally got the job
done today. Gary told me he had 35 to 40 hours in his. I doubt I did
that well. I was worried about rolling the wire into the leading edge,
but as Gary told me "That's the easiest part".
Tomorrow I start the firewall forward cowling construction. I'm hoping
that goes faster than the eyebrows. I have ordered a Cloudcars prop from
Jay Anderson. By the time the prop is done, I should be ready for first
engine start. Then its, cover the fuselage and paint.

Your work really looks good! Let me tell you of some of the modifications we
made to the Big Piets. We found right away that having the eyebrow attached
with the top cover screws was going to be a big problem. Every time you need
to get to a spark plug, all the bolts have to come out and that is an
invitation for leaks around the top cover. We very quickly modified the
brows to Fig. #1 where the bent alum stays on the engine and the top cover
bolts are never messed with. We thought this would be the solution, but with
all the stuff that ends up on top of the engine (depending on your
configuration) like starter, alternator, oil filler etc., etc The sheet
metal screws become almost impossible to remove and replace. I bought piano
hinge material and the next time the eyebrows come off, we will install
piano hinges with the removable center wire that will pull out toward the
front. Fig #2. This will make checking your spark plugs a 3 minute affair
instead of a 4 hour ordeal.
My 2 cents

Ken,
I have a walk out basement also. I thought about bringing the wings back
home to do the brush on primer coats, but the effort didn't seem worth
it. When the time comes, I'll just turn the heat on in the hangar if I
need it. How far have you gotten on the wiring? I have a schematic I put
together for mine if you are anyone else is interested I'll post it. Its
a combination of info gleaned from William Wynne, Bob Nuckolls
(Aeroelectric) and others. The final version was checked by a friend who
is a full time aircraft electronics professional so hopefully its OK.

Jack,
Everything is covered except for the fuselage. I haven't primed or
painted yet. The cowling is done up to the firewall, including the
coming padding (I still need to do the leather wrap though). The
windshields still need to be fabricated. My intention is doing ones like
yours and Gary Boothes with the metal frame. I'm sure that will be
another 40 hours of work.
If all goes well I do plan on flying this year. As far as flying to
Brodhead this summer, I will still need to get my tailwheel endorsement
and fly off my time. Do you plan on going to Brodhead this year or will
you still be working on the B&B.

Rick Schreiber

Thanks Barry:
I looked at the photos I had of the "Big Piet" eyebrows during the
design stage of mine. Originally I had planned on attaching my eyebrows
the same way, utilizing the bent aluminum stays that you did. I even got
to the point of fabricating the stays. When I got to the point of doing
the first eyebrow, I looked at how it was going to attach and realized
as you did that there is too much stuff in the way to be able to easily
remove it. Next it was on to plan two which was to cut holes in the
eyebrows, in order to be able to remove the spark plugs without having
to remove the eyebrow. Not the best solution, but one that many have
used before. Once I got the first eyebrow installed, I realized that I
could get to the front two plugs for removal, from the front of the
eyebrow. It was only the rear plug that was difficult to get to. One
day may AP/IA stopped by to check on my eyebrow progress and we
discussed how to get to the rear plug. He said we could fabricate a tool
if we needed, but he had something better. Craftsman makes a new socket
type, where the socket is a standard height, but the drive for the
socket goes around the outside, instead of a square drive in the center.
The socket and the drive both have a large hole in the center. This
allows a standard sized socket and drive handle to fit around a spark
plug. He had a set of these and we tried it on the plugs with the
completed eyebrow in place. It worked perfectly!!!

Rick Schreiber

Rick,
I'll still be working on the Bed & Breakfast, but I will be at Brodhead this
summer with my Pietenpol. There's a whole bunch of us planning to go
together - from Virginia there will be Gene Rambo with his brand new Model A
powered Pietenpol (if he gets it flying in time), Brett Phillips with his
rebuilt Model A powered ship originally built by Kerri-Ann Price, Matt
Paxton and myself with our Continental powered Piets, and we'll be picking
up Douwe Blumberg and anyone else who has a Pietenpol in Virginia, southern
West Virginia, eastern kentucky, southern Ohio or Indiana on the way.
Hope to see yours there, and maybe you can join up with us at Poplar Grove
before the last leg to Brodhead.

Speaking of Markle, I think he did a great job of throwing himself on his back

As the story goes, Jim spent the remainder of the day running back and forth to

On the spark plug issue, I'd suggest looking back through the archives
for pictures of the way Rick Holland set his up. I don't think he's
monitoring the list currently. Here's my recollection of his set up.
He cut three holes in each eyebrow, directly above the spark plugs.
The holes are plugged (no pun intended) with some fittings sold at big
box hardware stores for filling holes in sink installations. Each of
those fittings takes about a second to pop out, leaving plenty of room
to put a drive down over the spark plugs to back them out or put them
back in. Simple and neat.

Subject: | corvair eyebrows |
Barry and Rick:
I recall reading a post by William Wynne where he discusses the advantages of having
the two eyebrow areas interconnected for more balanced cooling. I don't
remember all of his reasoning but it included the cooling difference per inlet
in a climb attitude caused by the reduced pitch of the upward moving blade compared
to the increased pitch of the downward moving blade. As a consequence,
the hottest side of the Corvair engine in the highest power regime (climb) is
the right cylinder bank which is where detonation normally occurs first. He
suggested, at the very least, connecting the two sides via a scat tube to allow
the higher pressure side to help cool the lower pressure side.
Has anybody on the list tried this?

Tom... I added the scat tube to link the scoops.-- I did it after I was
flying it but I also added the CHT gauge at the same time so I don't have
any data on the before and after.- What WW says about it makes sense and
it was an easy thing to do so I went ahead and did it. =0A=0AOn the subject
of spark plug access I put the holes in the side with screw on covers (int

Normally a Corvair turns "backwards" to a normal aircraft engine. i.e. counter
clockwise viewed from the front. However it is possible during the rebuild to
make it turn clockwise - just takes more time and money.

Steve:
The short answer is "yes" as gyroscopic forces always act 90 degrees from the plane
of the directional change. i.e. tail comes up which forces the top of the
blade forward which puts the gyroscopic force 90 degrees to the right in a Corvair
engine or 90 degrees to the left on a real airplane engine. You compensate
for that with rudder offset or a trim tab. I have been told that your brain
and your feet react to the direction of movement without even having to think
about it but that's just hearsay for me since I do not have any actual flight
experience with a conventional gear airplane - yet.
A standard turning aircraft engine tends to yaw the aircraft to the left when the
tail comes up. This is just the opposite if the engine is turning in the opposite
direction.
That is the entire extent of my expansive knowledge on the subject. I am open
to all corrections from the group without malice.

Dan (Yocum, not Helsper),
1. I didn't post this yesterday. Dan Helsper did. He seemed to like it and thought
others might as well.
2. I never claimed to have filmed it. I do make claim to spending several hours
cutting, splicing, then putting the music (which i had to purchase) to the videos,
which I hope people enjoyed.
3. Obviously, since you have pointed out the video sources, I have no need to,
other than to say thank you to those pilots flying and videographers who captured
the flying. If my use of their video is offensive I will be happy to remove
this from YouTube. Just let me know, and that includes you, Dan.
4. If there is anything else that I am doing or posting on this forum for which.
you are unhappy, please feel free anytime to call me and discuss off-line. I

OK, Tom. I will be using a Corvair engine which turns the 'wrong' way. I
plan to offset the vertical fin to counteract the torque. As I understand
it, the 'real' engine builders are off setting the fin -- front of fin -- to
the right. I guess I will have to offset mine to the left. Correct? Seems
that it should be the other way around. Chuck

When I first started flying Helicopters I some times pushed the wrong pedal
when adding power. In an airplane with a left turning prop, you have to add
right rudder when adding power. In a helio the rotor turns clockwise and
you have to add left pedal when adding power -- like when you're adding
power to come to a hover from the ground. After a while it became natural
for me. C

Subject: | corvair eyebrows |
Chuck,
Off-set for the Corvair is to the right. Mine is off-set eight washers, and
I still need to hold slight left rudder on straight and level. I'm maxed out
on adjustment and will need to re-design the RH bracket to get more
adjustment.

OK, Tom. I will be using a Corvair engine which turns the 'wrong' way. I
plan to offset the vertical fin to counteract the torque. As I understand
it, the 'real' engine builders are off setting the fin -- front of fin -- to
the right. I guess I will have to offset mine to the left. Correct? Seems
that it should be the other way around. Chuck

Seems like powder coating steel piet parts is becoming popular. About 15 years
ago a a&p IA coworker had mentioned that powder coating engine mounts, and other
structural parts was not approved ( Certificated aircraft) because of how
it hides cracks and some times rust. Is it now considered an acceptable practice?
Im also thinking about it for my build.

Gary, as a data point, how much offset do your eight washers provide?
I set mine to 3/4" right offset. I'm wondering if that is too much or
too little, based on the assumption that our engines will be putting
out approximately the same horsepower. Thanks, Ken

Now see, you took a whole different approach on how to handle the way the rib top
capstrip lands on the spars. Your gussets take care of the gap. I don't think

I have a short Piet video of Scout which may be entertaining, but I don't have
a YouTube account and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did. The video was
taken with a smart phone, so it's not great quality but if people are snowed
in and wasting away in their cold basements waiting for spring thaw, sometimes
just some real flying videos can be entertaining. This one may also prove to
be educational.
If somebody can convert a smart phone video to YouTube and post it for me, email
me offline and I'll send it. No strings attached, no fine print. taildrags@hotmail.com

Wow, Dan, you used the words "to wit"...
Two syllables in two sentences... amazing!! That's somewhere around... let me
see, one syllable per sentence... or so.
What's Helsper's liability in all of this? Hopefully none, but you do seem to
be a stickler on this issue, better not to give passes on favoritism because that
certainly doesn't fly well in the face of legality. This sounds pretty pretty
serious...
O M G !!!!!
It's the middle of winter, we all need some humor to keep us going. THANKS DAN!!
