Kevin, I'm planning my spring around being in San Marcos for CC#28. I
haven't been able to attend one of these before. At only a thousand miles,
your's is the closest to me, so far. I'm wondering about the logistics of
trying to bring my motor. It is already assembled (Roy's Garage did the
bottom end; a local engine shop did the heads), with virtually all of WW's
components. I am hoping to be ready for the first run early in the new
year, but could wait until the college. I guess what I'm wondering is
whether I should come and watch and learn or drop the engine off the front
of the fuselage and crate it for transportation to Texas. And if I were to
bring it, I'd also be curious what pieces to bring with me (e.g., intake
and carb, exhaust system, baffling, etc.). Any insights/suggestions would
be appreciated. Cheers, Ken

Glen,
Plans for both the wood fuselage and the steel tube fuselage are included in the
plan set sold by the Pietenpol family.
http://community.pressenter.net/~apietenp/BHPietenpolAndSonsAirCamperAircraftPurchasePlans.html
However, the details are a bit sparse for the steel tube version. The reprints
of the 1932 Flying and Glider Manual provide some useful additional information.
Bill C.

I would like to be included on the list and have others contact info. I am planning
on building a steel tube fuselage. Have tubing already and plan to start
on it in a couple months. Real close to finishing my wings. Rob

Ken,
You might be putting Kevin into a tough spot asking if you should crate up your
engine for a 1,000 mile trip. It really depends on how experienced an engine
builder you are, and what you might need (tools, parts, experience, knowledge)
to make sure your first engine run is a success.
Based on my experiences from attending 5 colleges now, I can offer you this:
If you are NOT a gear head
- If you have an issue during your first engine run, William is there to help
- he is very smart!
- William brings the setup to pre-oil your engine and to visually ensure oil
is flowing from all the rocker assemblies
- William will ensure you have set your initial timing. If you did it right
(or admit you are not sure) he will show you how to set it / check it at WOT/full
advance.
If you ARE a gear head
- If you find an issue at the last minute William has the parts and tools to
overcome many common simple first start issues
You will never regret the fellowship. Along with several others, I continue to
attend the colleges in Barnwell because of the people.
.
As to what to bring, or not, William has his standard intake system (intake pipes
and carb). If you have a non "WW" standard intake it may be difficult to hookup
to his test stand. He provides an exhaust system, battery, fuel, baffle
- everything most of us do NOT have when we want to run our engines for the first
time. It is actually best to use his test stand components as it speeds
up the engine test stand usage.
I hope this helps. Feel free to opine rdewenter@woh.rr.com

As Bill said, buy both. I was originally disappointed with lack of detail with
steel plans and decided to build the wood fuselage instead. But then after building
ribs, center section and tail feathers, and spending hours looking at
those plans, I realized building the steel tube version was just a matter of looking
back and forth between the wood and steel plans and in many cases just
figuring out where to weld tabs in place of bolting fittings.
There are a few "gotchyas" though. Thats why I wanted to have some type of tuber
list that guys could fall back on. Looks like Jacks database will do a fine
job at that.
