      I'll be fine with a pull-off at Frazier Lake in June if Gary will park
      "Samson" (his airplane) and be the judge, then the rest of us 90-lb
      weaklings can strain and stretch against the mighty fish scales.
      
      And to answer Dan's question about why "scales" are plural, I guess it goes
      back to when they used the old balance scales with a little pan on each end
      of a balance beam.
      
      I plan to take some of my brass data plates to Frazier Lake in case anybody
      wants to buy some, but maybe I'll put some up as prizes in the pull-off.

      I have the fish scale(s) and will be happy to send it (them) to whomever 
      wants to be the next one "in charge."  Just send me the address.

      I'm pretty sure grandpa didnt run it easy either!  It is currently slowly going
      back together in my garage right now, and I would bet money that it is about
      the lightest one out there.  Built strictly to plans with no bells or whistles
      included!  The engine is per B.H. Pietenpols conversion with the blower on top
      and the cowl like "The Last Original"   We even camped out on the original
      Pietenpol Field in Cherry Grove, no hangar but we did walk into town and look
      at his old shop and talk to a couple of the locals.

      The tradition of testing with a scale started with BHP himself.  Whenever he was
      testing a new engine/prop combination, hed hitch the plane to a fence post and
      measure the pull  if it matched the figure he previously got from a well flying
      ship, he would assume it would at least get in the air.
      
      Somewhere, someone asked about comparisons between different power-plants and I
      can add that a partner and myself attended Brodhead one year specifically to
      compare and decide on what power-plant we wanted to use (we both had been building
      with conventional engines in mind).  After watching the climb out of all
      the combinations present and he taking a ride in a Corvair powered ship and myself
      in a Model-A version, we decided on the Model-A.  It truly surprised us comparing
      the climb out with passenger, how well the model-A performed.  We had
      to cutup the firewalls of our projects after returning home.
      
      Not conclusive or scientific, but maybe itll help whomever asked.

      Climb is the critical time for a low powered aircraft.  it should be the only time
      that the aircraft should use its maximum power. If it can't reach max rpm
      in a climb then it will never reach max horsepower and effectively you have a
      smaller engine than you think. You can then argue about what climb speed? The
      temperature should be warm and the climb should not be realistically too slow.
      
      I like to think that the propeller is like a one speed transmission. You need to
      get it at the right ratio for the worst condition. Back to static thrust - take
      a tractor pull on a tree stump. In low gear you have lots of pull and in high
      not so much. Same motor. In the comparison static thrust  is all about the
      propeller like the transmission and not the motor
      
      Cheers

      Well John, I must say that you have done an outstanding job on the newsletter.
      I  received   my issue today and have read it cover to cover. Kudos. 
      
      Thank you for taking time away from flying to give us folks something to read and
      hold on to.

      I just heard from Jay and Carmen Anderson at Cloudcars Props and my prop 
      is done and ready for shipping! Its the one in the center of the photo. 
      If any one is interested the other two props, they are sister props to 
      mine and are available from Jay. The props are reverse rotation for a 
      Corvair engine, 68 inches x 34 pitch. This is the same prop style and 
      specs that Kevin Purtee and others have used on Corvair powered Piets.
      
      new props
      
      Jay may also have another similar prop available, but 68" x 29 pitch. 
      This is the first prop that Kevin started  with. Her is a picture of the 
      prop on my Piet last year......
      
      used prop
      
      If anyone is interested in these props contact Jay  at cloudcars@verizon.net

      For some reason I thought that Kevin had been flying a 66" ground-adjustable prop.

      Kevin has/had two props. He used a ground adjustable Warp Drive prop for 
      travel and the Cloudcars prop for flyins like Brodhead.

      Well, I'll have to go back to see if Kevin ever posted any observations on how
      the Cloudcars performed relative to the Warp Drive.  Appearance wise, there is
      no comparison... the sword of Abdullah wins the prize!  Time for an archive search...

      I'll save everyone else the trouble of searching for Kevin's post.  Here it is
      (snipped):
      ========
      Ive taken so much abuse for the ugly-but-effective Warp Drive prop that I broke
      down and bought a wooden prop from Cloudcars.  It is 68x34.  They originally
      sent me a 68X27 which Jay calculated to be similar in pitch to my Warp at 7.5
      degrees.  It wasnt enough pitch.  They very kindly provided another propeller.
      It appears to have a little more functional pitch than the Warp.  The plane
      climbs a little slower, but still at better than 500 fpm, and flies about 10%
      faster.  Since were not allowed to fly our Cloudcars in the rain I may switch
      to the Warp for traveling to and from Brodhead, and then use the pretty wooden
      prop while there.

| Subject:  | Re: Air-Ground Communications | 
      
      
      John asked-
      
      >Is it legal to communicate (VHF aircraft frequencies) with
      >a hand-held radio from the ground to an aircraft? Is it legal
      >to communicate from one hand-held aircraft radio on the ground
      >to another hand-held radio on the ground?
      
      I wondered the same thing myself, some years ago while doing just that.  My understanding
      of the use of aircraft radios without the old radiotelephone operator's
      license is that the aircraft radios (and, by extension, their operator) are
      now permitted to be operated under a blanket approval under the CFRs, on the
      air band frequencies assigned for each purpose.  Ground vehicles and stations
      are also permitted to operate on those frequencies and you hear them talking
      to Ground all the time (fuel trucks, airport maintenance vehicles, etc.).  However,
      I don't think it's generally legal to conduct the types of operations that
      you ask about.  BUT-!!!  Check out this excellent website that summarizes
      the approved uses for each of the air band frequencies:
      http://www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/aviation.html  Look at the frequencies 123.125-123.575, which are for flight test stations.  Click on the letter "J" to view the applicable Subpart that covers the use of those frequencies.  It looks like a license must be applied for to use that frequency, but it's an option.  Also look at 121.95, 123.3, and 123.5... "aviation support stations for pilot training" and other such functions.
      
      I have always used 122.75, the frequency for private aircraft air-to-air communications,
      and have not had anyone tell me not to use it for test flight communications
      and the like.  My guess is if you're not using it for chat and BS, the
      worst that could happen is somebody could caution you not to use it. 
      
      I am NOT an expert in this matter AT ALL, although I do have one of those old RROPs
      and I was once a Novice class amateur radio operator (WN5ODE).

      Now, did the original designer put it where it was due to some design
      genius he had?  Probably not... but the change did result in a short guy not being
      able to reach it, and had catastrophic results on down the incident chain
      of events.

      The NTSB report makes for very interesting reading. Mostly Dragnet style - "The
      facts, ma'am, just the facts." Here it is:

| Subject:  | oil recommendation | 
      
      
      Good ol' archives!  I'm getting ready to change the oil on my A75 and started doing
      some research since I'm now up in Oregon rather than down in Texas and I
      was concerned about what viscosity and type to use up here.  Cut to the chase,
      I settled on Aeroshell W100, straight 50 weight, but I hit the archives and searched
      on 'Aeroshell' because I knew I had asked the question about oil for Continentals
      when I first got the airplane.  From January 2006, from Jack Phillips:
      
      >I ran straight mineral oil (SAE 50 wt) in mine for the first 25 hours
      >for break-in.  Since then I've been running Aeroshell Oil W 100,
      >Ashless Dispersant (which is also what I've run in every plane
      >I've ever owned, including a J-3 with an A65 Continental).
      
      Thanks again, Jack!  Anyway, what I learned from my research was that we don't
      need to spend money on synthetics in the small Continentals... the benefits of
      the synthetics are that they hold up better under high temperatures (which we
      don't run) and they retain their properties for much longer (which we don't need
      since we change our oil frequently in these engines that have no oil filter).
      And we don't need multi-viscosity oils because it seems that they don't cling
      to the metal parts as long as straight-grade oils, which is important if
      the engine sits any length of time, which aircraft tend to do.
      
      Seeing as how Chief Aircraft is right in my backyard, I stopped in and picked up
      a case of W100... and some new spools of .041 and .032 safety wire, too ;o)
