I had to get back to Bob's for lunch or I would have landed. Did another fly by
about 3:30, and told Bob where it was, he may have flown by later in the afternoon.
It has 36 legit hours on it as of last night, with any luck it will reach
40 today.

Ive been working a little on my landing gear. Hope to get her standing up-right
soon. I decided to go with the spring type suspension that William Wynne described
to avoid bungee worries. It is a neat design although I'm not sure
that it is Lighter. It will possible be heaver, but less drag.

Just a comment--
Looks great, but you won't gain much in the drag department unless you can
put an airfoil shape onto that round tubing.

Steve and Peter plan to fly their Corvair powered Piet from French Valley airport
in CA. This is the one they trailerd back a few years ago. EAA chapter 1279
built it.

| Subject: | Re: spring type spit axle |
Here are a few pics of the die spring landing gear struts-I built for the
Baby Lakes.- Springs for-a Piet will need to be a little stiffer.- M
cMaster Carr has many sizes and wt. ratings for springs, these were about $
40 each if I remember correctly, and weigh about 1.5-2lbs each.- If you l
ook closely at the the upper end of the 2nd pic you can see the solid barst
ock welded into the tube, that is where the strut attaches to the fuselage.
- The good thing about this setup is you can change the springs out if ne
eded (too stiff, too soft) without cutting and welding. I have a similar ge
ar on my Jungster, but there is no changing springs out without welding up
a new upper tube.- If I like this gear I may build one for the Piet.=0A

Frank Pavliga's "Sky Gipsy" and the original Rudolf Air Camper should be there.
Dewey might bring his as well.

I plan on flying out from Virginia, leaving Wed., the 23rd and arriving Thu

The NZ Piets were/are powered by Toyota Hilux engines:
http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2013/07/pietenpol-aircampers-of-new-zealand.html
I have no idea which of the many Hilux engines they used though. Over the years
there were many variations, from 1.5L and on up. Most of them seem to make
rated power at 4800 RPM but I don't see a reduction drive on the pictures of the
NZ Piets, so who knows how much power they get out of them.

OK... sorry... I found out that the Kiwi Piet uses the Toyota 22R engine but that
still doesn't help figure out how much power it's making. They are variously
rated at 97-108 HP at 4800-5000 RPM.
