| Subject: | another morning flight |
Was blessed with another gorgeous morning flight today. Ground fog hanging
in the valleys, ABSOLUTELY still. I just putted around at 2,000rpm with my
feet on the rudder not touching the stick and controlling my altitude with
tiny touches on the elevator trim button. Super sweet.
KEEP AT IT BUILDERS!!!
See you all soon!!!!

So, today was one of those days I finally made it to the shop, and made some
good progress on stuff I had been dreading, like the ply covering on the
rear of the top turtleneck behind the pilot seat. Great feeling.
So what to do next while the epoxy sets...? Hummm... How about the little
strips of 1/4 x1/8 between the ply gussets on the top of the fuse toward the
tail! Great... Done. Now what?
Oh well, why don't I cut the 1/8" ply firewall blank. Ok! But first, lemme
tack nail some 1/4" thick "spacers along the front of the fuse sides to
represent the thickness of the ply side walls (not installed yet) so I don't
make the firewall too narrow. Great idea. Fire up the air compressor, grab
the nail gun, and pop 3 LONG nails into each of the spacers along the front
strut that the firewall will glue to. I want LONG nails so i can pull them
out easily. Finished one side. Move to the right side... Tack the top in
place, now the bottom... Now one in the middle to keep it from bowing... Oh,
I need to push it forward a bit to be flush with the firewall...hold It
there with your thumb, good. Need some back pressure with your middle finger
on the back side... Good now shoot the nail.
Right through the wood and into that sweet, helpful middle finger, dead
center.
Good shot! Dead center of the meaty part of the FU finger! It'll heal, in
fact, pretty much already had. But the ego.... Oh, the shame of it.
I guess I didn't need all the pressure I had turned up on the compressor!!
Doap.

Scotty; nice work! Very good fit and finish, and it's always so nice to see the
rugged simplicity of the Pietenpol fuselage framing.
By the way, how much air pressure are you running in those tyres? ;o)

| Subject: | Air Camper Plans |
With all the copies of plans available out there, could someone tell me
about
the quality of the plans available on the official piet site. Are they a
lot
better than the original printed plans from the 1930 reproduction by the
EAA.
How about the corvair engine supplement,good detail or drawing from the
1960's.
Thanks,
Bill E

Bill,
I'm not familiar with the reproduction plans from the EAA. I purchased my
plans from Don Pietenpol and they are quite adequate. I also purchased the
Corvair supplemental, which was useful, but not as a plan for building the
actual mount. That mount was designed for a Corvair with the blower on top.
I am hoping you will be following the William Wynne Conversion
(www.flycorvair.com) and it will be best to use his mount or mount plans.
