Hi Oscar, The patented parking brake came to me when I was wondering how to secure
the ship at a location that didnt offer someplace to tie the tail. It occurred
to me that Id have ropes to tie the plane down and I could use them for
double-duty like you see in the video.
You have seen the cabane support system I used before go back and look at N2431
that I used to own and youll recognize it. After a discussion with Vi Kapler
where he mentioned that just the cross-wires alone made for a flexing wing,
I decided to replicate that feature.
And although I am running a high-compression head (for a Model-A), I think the
sudden stop is more a factor of a newly broken-in engine. I imagine both factor
in.
Thanks for the compliments, and now that youre on the west coast again, maybe well
meet at a function in between our locations!
Bill

Bill; I'd be curious to hear more about the flexing wing discussion. I'm not sure
how that translates back to the cabanes and their bracing.
Next July I plan to fly Scout to the event at Arlington that used to be the Northwest
fly-in. That is, if I survive the West Coast fly-in down to Frazier Lake
next June ;o)
In January 2014 I will have officially entered early geezerhood... eligible for
Social Security ;o) I will reward myself with some x-c flying in 2014.

Subject: | Control system bearings |
What are people using for bearings in the control system. For the torque tube
I thought some 1" .049 tube would work but seems a bit loose. Could machine something
down from a thicker tube or look into a buyout part. Curious what others
are using.

Tom,
.058 is the magic size. The ID of any size will fit the OD of the next
smaller size.

Subject: | Cowling reinstall |
UNCLASSIFIED
Gentlemen and Oscar, I have started working on the cowling. When Attached, the
bottom cowling (chin) attaches easily. But the portion around the prop looks like
it is sticking too far forward and will interfere with the prop right around
where the prop bolts are. It does not improve when I add the top portion of
the cowling. The design appears to me that it needs to be back enough to put
small Rclips to attach the top to the bottom next to the prop.
It is also tight against the air filter and seems not square to the filter.
Any Ideas before a take a BFH to it to hammer it into shape?
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Cool. I just entered geezerhood myself and can relate that its fine. As far as
the flexing wing discussion, Vi related that with just the cross bracing for
the cabanes, he felt the fuselage in a sense could yaw while the wing continues
straight (my description not his). I suppose in turns but dont remember him
saying that. He did mention that at first it could be a little unnerving.
Myself, Ive pretty much stayed away from Arlington since it grew into the third
largest aviation event in the nation. Its part of that geezerhood mentality.
The more pages an event has in its NOTAM, the less likely I am to attend. Ill
try to pay attention if you come up and maybe intercept you at a fuel stop
or something.
Bill

Subject: | Re: Cowling reinstall |
Steve (and gentlemen)-
Put down the BFH. Sit and listen. When I first installed (re-installed) the cowlings
on Scout, I had the same experience as you did. The bottom half went
on quite well (after I weaseled and scooched and prayed it into place around the
exhaust stacks, filter, and air box), and I secured it to the four bosses that
attach it to the firewall so that it would not move. Then I started with
the top half.
I can take some pictures of the setup on Scout, and in fact I'm pretty sure that
I already have some if I can find them, but the front of the cowling sits pretty
close to the back of the prop bolts and all those whirling things. Not so
close that they rub, but pretty close just the same. My top and bottom halves
are fastened together at the front with about 3 PK screws and Tinnerman nuts
on each side of the hole where the prop flange shaft comes through, so they
aren't going anywhere.
I'm thinking pictures may be quite useful here, so I'll see what I've got. Do
not employ the BFH; we are craftsmen, not cavemen. At any rate, only employ the
BFH when the hangar doors are closed and Tech Counselors cannot observe your
actions.

>From what I find on the FAA aircraft registry database, Bill is based in Gig Harbor,
WA. He can probably see Tacoma across the narrows to the east. Bill,
I would be perfectly happy to skip the big event at Arlington and just visit with
friends instead. It would probably be cheaper, and undoubtedly less stressful
;o) I have a friend over on the Oly Pen in Port Angeles with his own strip,
my friend Kyle Rash is over on Rosario Strait in Anacortes, and I have so
many other friends up in Washington state that I'd like to visit (including Jake
Schultz in Bellevue)-!
You're talking me out of trying to go to a big fly-in and have fun instead. Good
for you! Pietenpols forever!

Indeed, I live in Gig Harbor across the narrows from Tacoma, WA and Oscar, I don't
mean to talk you out of attending a great event - I only meant that it is
not my cup of tea. You could easily attend it and visit your friends on the same
trip if you're inclined.
