Yes Oscar I remember the day well. I had the same list you did. Little by l
ittle by little, chipping away. The day finally came to start my Ford A. I
had asked my trusted neighbor Russ Kuhlen to help me, and help me think, an
d to assist. As the assigned time approached, I had absolutely nothing left
to do, but wait for the minutes to tick down to the allotted time. I pulle
d up a chair at the hangar door to wait. Russ walked up quietly behind me,
kind of surprised I was just sitting. He said "what's wrong?" I said, "....
...what if it doesn't start?" He just laughed. That set the tone.

Great advice! I will take it to heart. I just got my plans, Tony Bingelis's books,
and the 1929-1933 Flying and Glider Manuals. I've found myself falling
into the trap of thinking about the "extras" already.
Thanks again! #1 goal: just build the thing and get it in the air. Everything
after that is only window dressing.

I am again thinking of having a fly-in here at 6CM some time this summer. All
piets are welcome. I am not sure when I am going to have it, possibly late summer,
after Brodhead and Oshkosh, Possibly before. Are any of you interested?
I know without a date it makes it an open ended invite. I will be trying to
organize it with my friend (Also named Shad) when he get his J-3 back in the air.
It will be another pot-luck event, just eat, hang out and BS about airplanes,
maybe a water balloon drop contest, spot landing etc.

Relax guys, Plan A is to get Texas Piet Flying. the follow on branch and
sequel plans (I have been an Army planner too long) will involve bigger,
better and faster. (OK not bigger).
Remember, I am doing a restoration.
Current plans are to get it flying.
Currently I am finishing the fuselage work I can do on my own in my garage
(maybe two weeks plus or minus).
Within the month I will haul the fuselage to the airport and bring the
wings to the garage (one weekend).
At that point I will work on the wings in the garage during the week and go
to the airport on Friday-Saturdays to finish prepping the fuselage/engine
with John K (one month or so).
then I will haul the wings to the airport, attach them and do the finish
work at the hangar (a couple of weeks?) .
Then get current in a taildragger, (One week)
Engine runup and tuning and breaking (one weekend)
and test flight.
BTW John K is almost more anxious than me to
start breaking in the engine he overhauled.
Then I will go fly as much as possible and Take some trips.
My wife claims the next project as a renovation of our old Airstream.
So the speed mods will have to wait. Flying comes first.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

| Subject: | speed and newsletter arrival time |
With all this talk about increasing speed, I've gotta say that now that I'm
actually flying (or used to before this stinky winter!) I don't really care
about my speeds. I mean, most of the time I'm just loafing around and
exploring that I don't really care if I'm doing it at 65 or 75kts. I too
looked at streamlining flying wires, etc, etc but decided that I just need
to finish and I'd do those things later, but now it just doesn't seem to
matter.
The only time I might care is on a long flight where an extra bit of
cruising speed could shorten the trip a bit; but I expect that for most of
us, that is a fairly rare occurance.

| Subject: | Corvair engine core |
Just signed up for Corvair college and indicated that I would be bringing an engine
to dissasemble. Only problem is, I don't have one.
If anyone has a lead on a good core, especially around the southeast, please let
me know. I would be willing to pay a fair price, if you are expecting body parts
( arm ,leg or both) in exchange for your engine, please do not respond.

| Subject: | the joys and the humor of flying a slow airplane |
The words Pietenpol and speed should never be used in the same sentence. T
hey have nothing in common unless you're
talking about slow speeds:).
Two quick war stories. Flying up to Oshkosh with my Piet one year I was h
eading north in Wisconsin and my headwind was SO
strong that I got passed up by a school bus on a country road going N-S.
What a school bus was doing out in late July was beyond
me but it passed me. I was traveling just to the left of a straight, two
lane road and my headwind had me down to probably
45 mph ground speed.
Coming back from Barber Field in Alliance Ohio one fine Saturday in the sum
mertime to my home base near Cleveland I spotted
a weird object way out ahead of me. It looked like a hot air balloon but h
ad things sticking out on four sides. I was gaining on
something! A hot air balloon is easy prey in a Piet but this was a bigger
fish......it was the Goodyear blimp. The new one at the time
with the X shaped tail fins. I was not only able to catch up to this airs
hip but I was able to PASS it and what a feeling of air superiority
it gave me. Okay, not really but it was better than being passed up by a
school bus.
Carry on good people,

| Subject: | Waterjet brake rotor.... |
Hello good Piet-ple,
Thanks to Ken Perkins I have some real nice wheel hubs. I modified the CAD file
that he sent me and had "West Coast Waterjet" make me a set of brake rotors.
These rotors are the same outer diameter as the "Honda 400 quad" (the calipers
I plan to use) but these custom rotors have the bolt-hole pattern to fit the
Perkins hubs.
Feels almost like a "kit plane" to pick up parts that are nearly complete - parts
I don't have to scratch build by hand...!!!
Having a fun adventure.......

Hello,
I am preparing a landing gear, and now it is time to prepare some wheels! :)
What is the common diameter the big wire wheels for Pietenpol?
Here is written 21"

And is it the same wheel on G-BUCO/G-ECVB , just covered with fabric?
Thank you!

Oh, English is my second language and that apparently caused this misunderstanding
:)
I have plans, where the construction of the landing gear is intended to be used
with normal small wheels (tundra wheels, simply not the wire wheels).
And I would like to equip the Piet with big wire wheels.
My concern is that the fuselage could be too high if I used the same construction
(I mean - lengths of the tubes connecting fuselage with wheels) of the landing
gear with the big wheels instead of the normal common wheels.

Vasek,
Yes, you must account for the height of those wheels while designing
your gear. Easiest way I know is to install the tailwheel on the
fuselage, then set the front on saw horses, blocking it up until you get
the 'deck angle' you want...maybe 11-13=81=B0. You can then determine
how long to make the gear to match up with your wheels.

Don't you know what is the diameter of the wheels on the picture I posted by chance?
Is the 21" common diameter?

Most of the wire wheels you see on Pietenpols are 18 to 22" in diameter Vas
ek. My plane
on the left has 19" rims while Jack Phillips plane on the right I believe h
as 22" wheels.

you can also search out nearby corsa clubs. i think craigslist is best bet

with no luck then had my pick of three from different people.

I have 19" rims which makes for a 26" tall tire. I built my steel split axle gear
at plans length/height. Mr. Pietenpol built a few like this too. Seems to
work good... Well over a thousand landings.
