The cover only looks rigid or with stiffeners because it is painted with
latex paint (thanks to the suggestion by Shelley, which she did on Kevin
Purtee's FBG!). It not only make the canvas match the plane, but also
somewhat water repellent and much stiffer!
I have four toggles snaps, 1 in each corner. At 65F yesterday, I probably
didn't need the front cover, but, Yes, it keeps almost all the wind off of
my legs!!

I am sure everyone has run into this but haven=99t seen it
discussed. The main beams of the horizontal stabilizer are different
sizes, 1/2=9D for the leading edge, 3/4=9D for the main
beam, and 5/8=9D for the back. It gives it an aerodynamic shape
but the vertical stabilizer does not sit flat. Should I mount the
horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage and then align the vertical
stabilizer to the end of the fuselage?
Also how much offset of the vertical stabilizer for a corvair engine
and which direction?

Dennis,
Vert Stab rear beam is even with the rear beam of the horizontal stab,
which is even with the tail post.
Vert Stab mounts above the horizontal by 1/8=9D or so, so the
shape of the horizontal stab is not an issue.
For a Corvair, you will offset to the right (looking forward). Mine is
offset about 3/8=9D, which is not quite enough.

Gary; where did you anchor the lug that the front seat shoulder harness mounts
onto? Rear spar of the center section?
Nice video; thanks for posting it. Lots of inspiration. We've had ice fog and
temps rarely above freezing for weeks now, so the warm sun and clear skies in
the video were nice to see. It is 34 in my hangar right now.
One last comment: those fast, high-powered Corvair Piets sure need a lot of runway
to land on! ;o)

Oscar,
The front shoulder harness attaches to a 1/4" aluminum bracket (which also
has the compass mounted to it), bolted up thru the center section and to a
piece of 1 1/2" 6061 angle, which is also attached to the rear spar. Don't
think I have any pics of that.
As for the landing distance of Corvair powered Piets, I can only say this:
I fly off of a 6,000' runway. In the beginning, I aimed for the first set of
hash marks all the time....until one day a drug my tail across the threshold
marker lights...had pieces of red lenses buried in the bottom fabric!! When
I told my instructor about it, he laughed and reminded me that I could
always land long, aiming for a different spot.
Conclusion: Some Pietenpol pilots think as slowly as their planes.

Gary; my old home field of San Geronimo Airpark has a 3000' hard surface runway
but also has a nice grass area suitable for landing. The grass area is about
500' usable for takeoff but less than that for landing (to the south) due to
trees and a fence. I never had any trouble operating off of the grass area when
it was dry. Great fun, and it's what the Air Camper was made for. Granted,
an airplane rolls a lot less on grass, and one with fat 6.00x6s like mine rolls
a lot less than one with motorcycle tires and spoked wheels like yours.
My present home field has a main runway that is 8800'x150' and has "hosted" the
Antonov AN-124 cargo plane... the second largest in the world. Probably overkill
for a Piet, but on the other hand, it's easy to stay current because I can
taxi out and make three takeoffs and full-stop landings in one straight shot
down the runway and taxi back to the hangar, all without leaving the immediate
runway environment ;o)
I had one of those "runway threshold incidents" that you describe, back in my early
training days when working on my landings over, and over, and over again.
I "improved" my short field landing skills to the point that I could touch it
down right at the very edge of the pavement with the power off, nose high, full
flaps, stall horn screaming, time after time. While doing this I found the
edge of the pavement with the tail skid of the Cessna 150 one time, and after
hearing and feeling the result, I decided it was better not to do that anymore.

Gary,
Sorry I missed you, guess I was too intent on those Sky divers who had just jumped.
One landed on the west side of the runway just before I departed. I was worried
about them.
Thanks again for the great afternoon.
See you again....with all this good weather.

Dennis,
Since I cannot recall, just looking at my pictures, it appears that I
used =C2=BC=9D plywood on the forward beam, 3/16=9D plywood
on the main beam, and 1/8=9D plywood on the rear beam. Must not be
critical, because mine flies just fine.
Maybe someone currently at that stage can chime in.

I'm still building so if I'm wrong I hope someone will let me know but I tho
ught it was intentional for the horizontal stabilizer to be nose high. I did
not level mine with the longeron. Then I took a little out of my verticals s
tabilizer over the 3/4" beam so the rudder has the same spacing from top to b
ottom

| Subject: | Cont. engine downthrust |
I had my airplane up and level (removed the tailwheel for service) and the engine
cowling is off, so I took the opportunity to put the level on the engine to
see what the down thrust is. Continental A75 (but the 65 that I had on it previously
was the same)- 3.5 degrees down. If I had a laser, I could have shot
the side thrust offset too, but I don't.
I had to use some washers on the engine mount bolts to get the down thrust where
it is part of it was in the mount, but the rest was done with washers. It looks
like a lot when you look at the engine cocked that way relative to the fuselage,
but that's what it takes. With the vertical stabilizer offset and the
engine thrust line moved over and down, my airplane flies nearly hands-off in
smooth air. Playing with the offset is worth the exercise if you want your airplane
to fly straight and level in smooth air in cruise without much need to
hold rudder or stick. On warm and bumpy summer afternoons though, all bets are
off. And when trying to re-fold a sectional or find a piece of information
on the sectional in your lap, fageddaboudit. The minute you look down, the airplane
will veer, guaranteed.
