Scott, does anyone have a accident study for the Pietenpol? I would be
interested for safety reasons. In order to live longer I would like to know
what to stay away from.
IE Don't drink and drive/fly.
Flying a piet with no electrics into a thunderstorm is a bad idea.
Running out of fuel
Water contamination of fuel.
Stall spin incidents.
controlled flight into terrain

Steve,
Gap seals are not needed with the Frise type ailerons. Take a look at a cub and
you will notice that when the trailing edge of the aileron is up, the leading
edge of the aileron is actually below the bottom surface of the wing. It works
quite well.

I re-did my heat muff this winter, with much improvement made. Perhaps something

Here's what I did: http://www.eaa25.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/OnFinal201401.pdf
Carb heat is a lot more effective now, too.

Subject: | cooling eyebrows |
I believe I've mentioned this before, but "RE-PIET" began life without
cooling eyebrows because I liked the "clean cylinder" look so much. Based
on the Rose Parakeet, I omitted the eyebrows, but installed a temporary CHT
to see how things went.
Long story short, RE-PIET now sports cooling eyebrows and intercylinder
baffling.
Even in fall temps, the CHT would climb pretty high during a longish climb.
I figured that didn't bode well for summer flying so made up a set of
eyebrows, installed the intercylinder baffling and have enjoyed worry free
temps ever since.
That's my story, your mileage may vary.

Subject: | Cooling eyebrows |
Hello good people,
I think I touched on this a bit ago, but here goes again.
RE-PIET was built without cooling eyebrows because I loved the clean
cylinder look. Based on the Rose Parkeet design, a UK piet and some others,
that cooling would be sufficient without them. To ck the temps, I installed
a temp CHT.
To make a long story short, RE-PIET now has cooling eyebrows...
Even in moderate fall temps, the CHT would climb too high during a long
climb, which made me doubtful they'd remain okay when summer rolled around.
I made a set of eyebrows and installed intercylinder baffling and have
enjoyed good temps ever since.
I've attached before and after pics.
That's my story, your mileage may vary.

Subject: | Current draw of a White-Rodgers continuous duty DC contactor/solenoid/relay |
In preparing for a long cross country, I am try to determine total
electrical power needs for my system (I dont have onboard charging
capability).
Many aircraft, including my Piet, have a White-Rodgers (P/N 70-11126-5)
continuous duty DC contactor that is used as a master switch relay. I
think they are common on Pipers and Cessnas.
Does anyone know what the current draw is on the low amperage side? That
is, how much current is drawn to energize the coil in order to close the
heavy-amperage contacts? I guess I could hook up a meter across the master
switch poles, flip the switch, and see what I amperage reads on the meter,
right?
Thanks,
Jeff

Looks like the coil is 16 ohms at 25C if the data in the link below is to
be believed. Apparently 70-11126-5A is Stancor 70-918. Current would be
your battery voltage divided by 16 ohms, or about 0.78A.

In case anyone is interested, I found the real datasheet:

Coil is still 16 ohms.

To carry 0.78 amps of current at 14VDC, unregulated, I would recommend that you
use at least 1/8" galvanized aircraft cable.
