Subject: | Re: GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing |
Hi Peter,
I am also close to covering my GN-1 fuselage, and I _think_ what Oscar is referring to with the aluminum is like what DJ Vegh did as shown in this link: http://www.imagedv.com/aircamper/log/image-pages/02-19-05.htm
I'm hoping that will work as opposed to wood fairings, which would add considerable
weight. I did use wood fairings around my top engine mount brackets and
will cover them with aluminum panels to allow for inspection and access. See
following link:

Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 Landing Gear mount fairing
Hi Guys,
I am about ready to cover my GN-1 and was wondering if anybody had any ideas about
the landing gear mount fairing. I have added some wood stringers under the
fuse that stop either side of the gear mounts (see page two of the photos page
on the website). Is this area faired or just left as is.
Pics would be useful.
Cheers

Oscar,
Click on link above. I use these "frogs" when I can. Some old instruments
can't accept them.

Subject: | Shielded mag switches... |
Quick question, and I know this has been covered before...BUT:
Should the shield of the shielded wire from the mags to the switches be grounded
on BOTH ENDS, or ONLY ONE END; and if one end, WHICH END? Or does it really
matter?
Thanks,

Ground it at the Mag end only . If yoy ground it at both ends it will set up
edy curents and cause more noise.

Mine are not grounded at the switch either. I clipped off the braid at that end
and then used a little heat-shrink tubing to cover that part of the wire. I
had heard the same thing about the possibility of circular currents. I have
not yet had a chance to operate my handheld in the cockpit to see if the grounding
scheme and shielded harness have taken care of ignition noise, but I'll soon
find out.

Subject: | Re: Sky Scout with Corvair |
Ok Dick.I will call you in a few weeks. Are you using the plans supplied by The
Pietenpol family? Are they the same ones that are printed in the Flying and Gliding
Mag reprint from 1933. Or are they actual plans with a little more detail
to them? I have not ordered the plans yet. I have a couple of engines that
I'm working on dismantling for at least one good one. Are you going with traditional
wood or Steel tubing?
Thanks much,
BE

That is brilliant.
FWIW, I use modeling clay for in places like you mention. Started using heavy
grease in auto applications, and morphed to the clay which works better and in
more places.

Hey Ray
When something is grounded it electrically doesn't matter the shielding is there
the to prevent the magnetic flux from radiating any further than the shielding.
Grounding to the same ground as the Mag is great make sure that all grounds
are common. Engine, fuel system . Metal cowling, I'm probably going to kick
the hornets nest on this but anything made of metal needs to be grounded.
Any metallic object and a lot of plastics can radiate rf energy and cause static
probs. just my $.02
