Y'all might be careful about burning all that food grade oil.
WW I pilots flying rotary had absolutley no problems with constipation. The
crank is attached to the airframe and the case and jugs are attached to the
prop and spin with a huge gyro effect. The oiling system was a castor bean
oil total loss system. It slung the oil out of the engine as it spun, with
the pilot breathing/tasting oil the whole time he flew.

Hello, I am making a GN-1 model which has longer fuselage than the original Pietenpol,
it has longer nose designed for lighter engines. If that's what you are
asking for?

Hi Pieter's,
I went out to the airport last night to perform a weighing for a friends dragster.
I happened to get there a little bit early and notice that the plane was
begging to be flown since it has been ground bound for the last two weeks or so.
I caved and took the poor thing out for some pattern work. I had a great
time. We had a slight breeze, 26 gusting to 30 knots about 20 degrees off the
runway heading. It was fun, I could climb and descend nearly vertical and only
needed about 20 to 30 feet for the take off run. All my landing were wheel
landings because it was gusty. I don't care to 3pt it when it gets gusty. I flew
4 circuits and made 4 great landings, I think my blood pressure even went
down a few notches. For me it is great therapy.
Keep on building. Flying is great therapy and will save you a lot of visits to
the physiologist. I have another therapy session scheduled for Saturday, I hope
you do too.

Scott; sounds like fun, although winds were a little higher than I like to challenge.
By the way, where are the registration markings on your airplane? They
aren't visible in the photo.

Oscar,
They are on the rudder. With the plane in the shade they are hard to see. The
fuselage is a forest green and the numbers are black vinyl. It replicates the
paint scheme of the era. Try and find that in the FAR's. Haven't been busted
on it yet. Maybe I'm just lucky.

| Subject: | Re: Steel tube long fuselage |
im away from my plans at this moment , but I am using the short fuselage ( maybe
two inches longer?) and made some changes so that I have as much room in the
cockpits as the long fuselage. shorter fuselage will require a little less wing
tilt back to keep within cg. also using corvair.

Gary,
You get use to it where I live or you just don't fly. Truthfully I have to put
it away when it blows 35 KTS. At 35 I need wing walkers to taxi.

As the time approaches, I thought I would post one idea of how to pack. Thi
s set-up worked well last year. I have external straps on the top for a cam
ping chair to be attached, but the chairs I found are a few inches too long
to fit. A kid's chair would work, but I could not withstand the ribbing (a
nd Lord-knows-what snide comments about munchkins). I'll keep looking.
