The Scrounge Dawg Aviation, subgroup of EAA Chapter 64 (St.Louis, Mo area) Pietenpol project has now been recovered, painted and started and the engine run for a while. At about 1 pm today, saturday, May 10 we propped the engine and it fired up. This is a real milestone for us. Next we will take it to Parks Airport to the aviation museum and put the wings and tail on it and finish the rigging and it will be about ready for our illustrious test pilot '=9Dironbutt=9D Brian Kissinger to test fly it. I am so excited I could just wet myself. Hopefully we (Brian) can fly it to Mecca (Brodhead) this year.

Mark is up in Corvallis and is building a GN-1 but was down in southern Oregon visiting a friend so we discussed differences in the Piet and the Grega and Mark got a pretty good look at Scout. I was pretty inspired after the visit and I had just topped off the brake masters before Mark got there, so I tied down the airplane on the ramp and warmed up the engine real good (started on the third pull). With the oil warm and the cylinders lubed, I ran a cylinder leakdown test (aka, 'compression test') and was pleased with the results. It was actually the first time I've ever used my new differential compression tester so who knows if I did it right or not, but I'm learning. I don't think I have the knack for nudging the prop back and forth to get the rings to seat in evenly, but it was better than my first attempt, when all I heard was 'whoosh!!!' since I didn't have the piston at TDC and a valve was obviously still off its seat. The tests showed about 72/80 on three cylinders and 78/80 on the fourth. With that all done and no oil whatsoever showing from the new front seal, I replaced the engine cowlings, walked around the plane again, and declared it fit for flight testing tomorrow. Strictly in the pattern, and I'm going to hold myself to three circuits or at maximum, four. Then everything will get the Ace Mark I eyeball all over to make sure nothing's amiss. Next week promises to bring bright sunshine and temps in the 80s, so I may just have to go flying before work one day or head to the hangar after lunch to take the airplane up again. Meanwhile, I still need to get the radio and cables out and make sure Tower and Ground can hear me or else I ain't goin' nowhere. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=423138#423138 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
