Good luck and let us know what you find. At the very least they should be able
to make recommendations and get you started.
You could also try to contact Ken Perkins directly, from Kansas City. He's an amazing
machinist and somewhat of an A guru on Piets. He had a modified balanced
crank for sale at Brodhead. I know he used to make and sell his own design water
pump. Someone here should know his number.
Also, Larry Williams and Dan Helsper are both very active flyers with A's, they
should have some info, could contact them directly. Larry says he's not monitoring
the board, but his account still looks active, a PM should tickle his email
account. Dan's info is here somewhere and he seems to monitor a fair amount.
I did a quick google and came up with JandM machining. They really seem to know
their stuff with vintage engines. There's a fair amount of information out there
for guys who modify and upgrade A. Do keep in mind most of them are going
for horsepower, and you're going for reliability. The two are generally mutually
exclusive. However, craftsmanship is craftsmanship, the skills should not be.

Subject: | Motivational Pictures (?) |
In another thread, it was suggested that we take time to post motivational
pictures/video. Since I have been keeping a mildly tight lid on posting pic
tures in the past and I am now very close to completion, I thought I could
kick off this picture thread with my own works. The (?) is the subject line
is for my pictures...they may not motivate at all...or motivate to go a co
mpletely different direction...=0A=0AI decided to use straight exhaust pipe
s. I also decided it would be easy just to wrap them both with the heat muf
f and take advantage of both hot pipes.- While figuring out how to make t
he muff, it occurred to me that it should also be aerodynamic in shape; at
least somewhat better than a round pipe standing proudly in the wind. The p
ictures show the final design. Two tabs are welded on the inner radii of ea
ch pipe and fitted with nut plates. The bottom cover of the muff is riveted
to the muff itself and screws on to the exhaust bracket nut plates. The ce
nter section of the top cover is removable so that the muff can be slid dow
n and off of the exhaust.=0A=0AIn one of the Bingelis' books, he used round
holes and a piece of pipe to make bent louvers; I tried this technique for
the muff air inlet.- Keeping with the aerodynamic theme, I laid- out t
he 3/8" holes in a "V" pattern.- The holes are positioned near the top of
the muff and the outlet into the heat box is down low. The thought is to r
un the in-coming air through the length of the muff to pick up as much heat
as possible.- I have no idea if the holes are big enough, if there are t
oo many holes, if being louvered will even work in flight, if there needs t
o be some material inside the muff to hold heat, etc., but I have the patte
rns on hand and can tweak the design as needed.- I made a "blank" muff fo
r the other side.-=0A=0AThe muffs can be seen installed on my first engin

Hey all,
I completely agree that we all need to work to elevate the "tone" of OUR
forum. For many, many months now, I've been troubled by the slide from an
upbeat, light and informative group to a more negative, nit-picky and
sour-sounding one.
I know for a fact this is the reason that many of the older members have
removed themselves. As has been observed, this is a shame because they are
the very people who patiently answered my questions for ten years while I
built.
It is not necessary to be negative in any way, nor is it necessary to be
overly sensitive and response to every single thing posted that we don't
like. It is VERY possible to counter bad-advice or incorrect information in
a nice way without getting into a personal "p----ssing contest".
If someone posts something stupid or dangerous, then we should certainly
respond; but we should respond to the information rather than the person.
And if they are jerks, and freak out when anyone confronts them or has a
different opinion.. Let it go. or take it off list so we don't all have to
read twenty emails going back and forth about little issues, grammar
mistakes, personality issues etc.
Maybe it would be helpful to come up with a list of "List etiquette
suggestions" here's my start.
1. NEW BUILDERS "NEWBIES" ARE IMPORTANT, SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND ARE
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THE LIST EXISTS. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PIET
BUILDERS. BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW BUILDERS, THEY WILL ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS
YOU ASKED WHEN YOU WERE A NEW BUILDER AND THEY WONT KNOW ABOUT, OR MIGHT NOT
FIND THE ANSWER EASILY IN THE ARCHIVE.
2. IF DIVERSE OPINIONS ARE HELD, ADDRESS/FOCUS ON THE ISSUE RATHER
THAN THE INDIVIDUAL.
3. STAY POSITIVE, HELPFUL AND GENTLEMANLY (GENTLEWOMANLY)
4. BEAR WITH THE ANNOYING PEOPLE, THEY USUALLY DISAPPEAR. IF YOU MUST
CONFRONT THEM, DO IT OFF THE LIST
5. IF SOMEONE PERSISTS ON USING OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE, IMMEDIATELY
CONTACT MATT DRALLE AND HAVE THEM WARNED/BLOCKED
6. ??
I think we'd all do well to remember grandmas advice, IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

Subject: | 3M T-88 glue dispensing gun.... |
Hello Good Piet-Ple,
Well things are back on track with my 1931 Pietenpol project - after
having taken a few brief steps "backwards" by replacing the two rear
spars.
The first image shows the previous and current spar sections. The spar
on the left was the one the original wing builder installed. (I bought
my wings from another builder who had started a Pietenpol project.)
But that particular spar was not up to the fine quality of the rest of
his wing construction. The "cup" in the spar section in particular was
making it difficult to integrate the spar with the wing
center-section, and wing strut fittings. So I replaced both rear
spars. (See other writings for my spar/router screw-up adventure.)
I now have a new set of routed rear spars that are glued in place. I
used a new 3M "dispensing gun" to apply the aircraft-grade structural
T-88 epoxy. The special tips mix the resin/hardener in the tip itself
as you dispense it from the gun - which eliminates all the mixing/mess
of using epoxy in from large bottles. Depending on the aspect of the
project, this gun may be more effective than glue from large bottles
mixed in the traditional manner. It was certainly more expensive to
use these special tubes, but it worked really well for gluing the
spars.
Next step in the project is to get back to joining these wing sections
to the center-section spars - the step I was beginning before I chose
to replace the spars. I feel good about the choice to do so - even
considering the setbacks.

Hello,
My name is Brian, I'm a pilot and aero engineer, and am currently building
a Pietenpol Air Camper in Seattle. Here's a link to my photo log of the
build:

I have browsed this list-serve for a little while and have already learned
a ton. I hope to contribute to this community in some way while I continue
to learn and also find local Pietenpol flyers / builders.

Here is to the good, good people on this list who are sticking with it, thi
nking about it, maybe just this summer
have for the very first time heard about this little airplane called the Pi
etenpol.
Welcome to the list---we're here to help if we can. The archives/search en
gine are a great resource
and if you haven't see the zillion photos that Chris Tracy has complied on
his http://westcoastpiet.com/ site,
go there for a bunch of ideas, inspiration, and photos. Good stuff.
Just disregard and delete any posts that have negative or harsh comments---
we are not about that. This is a good group
and this is a good, honest, wonderful little affordable airplane.
Here's two photos that will give you all the reasons you need to keep build
ing OR to start building. Don't let the turkeys
get you down---you've got an airplane to build and eventually FLY.....and t
hen to give rides and smiles that come with those
rides. Here's proof. Go for it. Keep the faith! Keep building!

Brian,
Very nice work. It's amazing how fast a person can build up the fuse to the boat
stage. Great builders log too. Have fun with it because the building will
be over before you know it. Then come the building withdrawals. Oh, maybe that
was too soon to say. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Subject: | Shim between horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
On the tail plan sheet there is a note, "Screw stabilizer to fuselage,
after covering, with 1-3/4" screws. SHIM BETWEEN LEADING EDGE AND
LONGERON." The stab plan shows a piece of 3/16" plywood on the leading
edge where the stab attaches to the fuselage. I already have a piece of
1/8" plywood to fill the gap between the rounded part of the leading edge
and the 1/2" X 3/4" part of the leading edge. Now, should I shim the stab
with a 1/16' shim to make up the 3/16" shown on the plan or is there a
thicker shim in addition to the 3/16" piece of plywood. The plan doesn't
cover that. OK some of you guys who are already flying, what did you do?

Subject: | Re: Shim between horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
First, notice it says to screw the stab to the fuse. Most people through bolt.
If you do through bolt, use AN3 (or smaller), so as not to compromise the longerons,
or extend the scarf plate there to overlap where the through bolts are.
With all the tail bracing, that fastener doesn't need to do very much on it's own,
screws as mentioned really are good enough.
I don't have a shim at all there. It bothered me at first, but think about it.
The rest of the stab is just cantilevered into the wind, so that bit there above
the fuse isn't gonna hurt a thing.
Insofar as 1/8 or 3/16... it really depends on how much gap you have there, it
really can vary quite a bit with plywood not really being solid imperial dimensions.
Also, how much sanding you do, layers of fabric... if you use a shim,
cut to fit.

Subject: | Wood bending irony... but great sandpaper source |
I quit buying from catalogs years ago, but unfortunately still get some junk snail
and email.
Haven't gotten anything from this company in years (well, once in the last 10,
just a few months ago, an 18' long sanding belt...).
TODAY I got this junk email, about wood bending. Kinda funny in light of the recent
discussions on wood bending. Probably pretty good info, albeit a bit much
for capstrips.
However, and more appropriately, THIS IS THE COMPANY if you need sandpaper, OF
ANY KIND. Simply the best I've EVER used.
They sell a "cutoff assortment" of stuff. I got one 15 years ago and haven't used
a third yet. You just can't wear it out. Works GREAT for all sorts of sanding
blocks and such. Great EAA chapter group buy or something, divy it up amongst
friends. DO NOT GET what they call "coarse" sandpaper, they're talking
like 40 grit! You can sand jagged cement with the stuff, not much application
for hand use!
You can also get custom belts for no more per inch than anything "standard". That
18' belt I got was thirty bucks. Not bad considering one about 4' long is
about eight bucks from big box retailers.
I get custom discs from them, no more than normal pricing. I have a 15" disc sander
(really not that odd, but not gonna find that size very many places). I
have other friends who get 24 and 30 inch discs from them!
Also custom "pieces". I got a 12 x 36" piece of wet/dry for a piece of plate glass
I have to lap the bottom of planes and plane irons. Been using it for 15
years. Think it was fifteen bucks or so.
All the gadget woodworking stuff... yoyo (you're on your own!).

I agree whole-heartedly, Douwe. Remember that the reason the FAA allows
Experimental Aviation to exist is for Education and Recreation. This list
should serve the same purpose.
I suppose I'm one of the "old-timers" on this list, in that I was on the
original Pietenpol list that Steve Eldridge created and then transitioned to
Matronics, back about 1997. In that time I've seen many builders come and
go, some real screwballs (Fisherman Ray comes to mind), and have gained a
lot of really good friends that I never would have met otherwise. There's
an awful lot of good information on this list, with the occasional piece of
bad information. It doesn't take too long to figure out who is worth
listening to, and who is not.
I like the suggestion that before hitting "Send" every lister who has
written a post should imagine themselves expounding on this topic at a forum
at Brodhead, or Oshkosh. I've presented forums (fora?) at both and believe
me, it is a humbling experience.
Now, all you builders get off your computers and back to the workshop and
make some sawdust!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: OUR forum
Hey all,
I completely agree that we all need to work to elevate the "tone" of OUR
forum. For many, many months now, I've been troubled by the slide from an
upbeat, light and informative group to a more negative, nit-picky and
sour-sounding one.
I know for a fact this is the reason that many of the older members have
removed themselves. As has been observed, this is a shame because they are
the very people who patiently answered my questions for ten years while I
built.
It is not necessary to be negative in any way, nor is it necessary to be
overly sensitive and response to every single thing posted that we don't
like. It is VERY possible to counter bad-advice or incorrect information in
a nice way without getting into a personal "p----ssing contest".
If someone posts something stupid or dangerous, then we should certainly
respond; but we should respond to the information rather than the person.
And if they are jerks, and freak out when anyone confronts them or has a
different opinion.. Let it go. or take it off list so we don't all have to
read twenty emails going back and forth about little issues, grammar
mistakes, personality issues etc.
Maybe it would be helpful to come up with a list of "List etiquette
suggestions" here's my start.
1. NEW BUILDERS "NEWBIES" ARE IMPORTANT, SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND ARE
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THE LIST EXISTS. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PIET
BUILDERS. BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW BUILDERS, THEY WILL ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS
YOU ASKED WHEN YOU WERE A NEW BUILDER AND THEY WONT KNOW ABOUT, OR MIGHT NOT
FIND THE ANSWER EASILY IN THE ARCHIVE.
2. IF DIVERSE OPINIONS ARE HELD, ADDRESS/FOCUS ON THE ISSUE RATHER
THAN THE INDIVIDUAL.
3. STAY POSITIVE, HELPFUL AND GENTLEMANLY (GENTLEWOMANLY)
4. BEAR WITH THE ANNOYING PEOPLE, THEY USUALLY DISAPPEAR. IF YOU MUST
CONFRONT THEM, DO IT OFF THE LIST
5. IF SOMEONE PERSISTS ON USING OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE, IMMEDIATELY
CONTACT MATT DRALLE AND HAVE THEM WARNED/BLOCKED
6. ??
I think we'd all do well to remember grandmas advice, IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

Yes, the front spars have no routing. I do not have the height number, but they
are about 0.9" thick. My rear spars are a full 1.0" and were routed with 1/4"
deep pockets.

Tools,
Great to know that we can buy sandpaper that doesn't wear out and odd sizes can
be had. I like it. One question though, Who or where is this place? Maybe
you said but I don't see it. Maybe (bad reading comprehension)that's why I didn't
do so well in school when I was a kid?
Hope you don't have sore ribs after this poking.

Subject: | Re: Shim between horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
This is Steve D. When I got the plane there was THE SHIM and I questioned
John and the group on if it was needed. The learned consensus was yes, it
is needed. It is on the plans just as a note that says "Shim between
longerons and leading edge."
Chuck do a simple google search using "Matronics Pietenpol and Shim" and
you can read the whole discussion. When I get home I will measure the one I
have.

Subject: | Re: 3M T-88 glue dispensing gun.... |
Jeff, yes the tips themselves can be removed and discarded, then there is a cap
that goes on the tubes to save the unused contents for another time.
You can buy extra tips or you can dispense the resin/hardener without a tip and
mix it in the traditional way. The extra tips are a couple bucks each. I buy
the 50 mL cartridges of T-88 at "Woodcraft" here in Seattle and they're about
$12.50 each.
T-88 is made by System Three:
http://www.systemthree.com/store/pc/T-88-c27.htm?gclid=COmk1a2CoMACFeg7MgodgXcAvQ
System Three also makes an applicator but I like the 3M one better - the reviews
on-line give the 3M version five stars. However, 3M is REALLY, REALLY proud
of it so it cost (brace yourself) $96. I only plan to need one for my lifetime
so what the heck....?!?!? (The System Three gun is only $25)

Subject: | Re: Shim between horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
I did not shim, but eventually tweaked the horizontal leading edges up. Keep
in mind, if you shim the horizontal stab, you may have to adjust the vert s
tab mounting brackets, so that the rudder still aligns with the tail post.

The stab plan shows a piece of 3/16" plywood on the leading edge where the
stab attaches to the fuselage. I already have a piece of 1/8" plywood to f
ill the gap between the rounded part of the leading edge and the 1/2" X 3/4"

Hello!! this is the place where you have to stay in touch for everything: construction
technique, missing/wrong things in plans, how to's, wood problems and
benefits, metal differences, DIY things, resolve by your own, I like but..., ok
I am going to follow the plans, This engine or this other one?, 1045 .. what
is this?.. 6061?. i like this number but where is it?. douglas? spruce?... weight?..
I can save something if I use.. Epoxy? Gorila Glue?, Poliuretan adhesives?
paint with what?.. Latex?, mhmhhm my wife want... I do not care, I am working
on my Piet. ;o))))) Very nice experience, go ahead!!!

Most places where you can find specs for the Sky Scout the useful load
is 500 lbs. Air Camper is listed as 520. Pietenpol website shows 456 for
the Air Camper and 267 for the Sky Scout. Great discrepancy and would
like to know what the true useful load would be.

Same plane... load should be about the same.
However, the Scout is technically designed around a much less powerful Model T
engine which may account for the number on the website.
With only one seat, not sure you could really take advantage of the load capability.

Oscar,
Thank you, thank you for all the hard work you did on the most recent issue o
f CONTACT. A good friend went to OSH this year and brought me a copy. Fantas
tic information, beautiful pictures, very inspirational. I will be sending i
n my subscription very soon.
And about this list: I agree with Douwe and others who remind us of the grea
t things this list has done. I have been building for just over two years, n
ow and would not have persisted without you folks. I, too, have made some gr
eat friends, although I have not met all of them! Life can be pretty tough s
ometimes as we meet people with different personalities than ours who expres
s themselves differently. I my business life I met many people with whom I d
isagreed, and who disagreed with me. Some even disagreed in a nasty way! But
I learned from all of them, sometimes even important facts that could not h
ave been learned in any other way!
It also pays to have a thick skin to help deal with some of the comments you
receive throughout life. On the surface, some comments may be very offensiv
e, but upon further thought, there could be some truth in the comment.
Anyway, you guys who are building two hole Piets are really offending me and
are making me feel ready bad about my SkyScout. I.e. The recent picture tr

Subject: | Re: horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
Thanks, Charles. I just did this the other day to attach my Horizontal stabi
lizer. But I have an allied question. I see that many folks put their planes
completely together during the rigging process, which I am doing. The quest
ion is : how do you allow for thickness change during covering? For example,
the brackets holding the vertical stabilizer to the horizontal stabilizer..
.if you drill the brackets AND the holes in the vertical stabilizer, the hol
es will not match up after the vertical stabilizer is covered, right? There w
ill be two thicknesses of fabric on the bottom of the stab, plus a tape. Or d
o you just allow enough space between the two stabs when drilling the holes a
nd keep the stabs separated, or drill these holes after covering? There are
other locations where this occurs.
Could not find a way to search for this in the forum!
Thanks,

Subject: | Re: horizontal stabilizer and fuselage |
Ray, I did what you've described. That is, I fully assembled the airplane
in skeletal form, including making the brackets, drillling holes, and
fastening things together with AN hardware. Only after I did that did it
dawn on me that things might not align after covering and painting all the
various pieces. Worrying late into the night, I worked out a "Plan B"
involving lots of hardwood dowels glued into the holes. Other than lost
sleep, everything turned out fine. The fabric, even with paint, is
remarkably thin. I never had to implement "Plan B". All the pieces went
back together just like they were supposed to. Cheers, Ken

Subject: | Re: Introduction - Pietenpol Builder (in progress) - Seattle, |
WA
- I created a forum account (rieger.brian12@gmail.com) -
Thank you all for the kind welcome - glad to find a great community for the Pietenpol.
I have been working on the Piet itself for a little over a month (spent a chunk
of time beforehand building the table, gathering tools, finding the right workshop
space in town, etc..).
I have never flown in a Pietenpol - would like to change that soon! My plan is
to visit Broadhead next year, a day or two before Oshkosh and then drive up to
Oshkosh for a couple days (probably attend the Corvair engine workshop); is it
a good plan from your experience?
I would say I'm leaning towards the Corvair powerplant based on the anecdotal experiences
/ recommendations I have read online and the strong community support
for it. However, I'm certainly not against the A65 although I do plan to carry
two passengers and would like the ability to get out of short grass strips
(at elevation possibly). I haven't come across any performance data comparing
these two engines on the Piet (or any other engine for that matter) and am very
curious how the performance changes.
Brian

Brian,
Based on my A65 Piet, and a ride in Kevin Purtee's Corvair powered Piet, his seemed
to have a lot more zip.
I do like the A65, but the Corvair is rated at quite a bit more power.
Going to Brodhead is a GREAT idea. While you seemed to have already made a lot
of the decisions NECESSARY (fuse style, gear style, powerplant), you can verify
those decisions (sitting in the various fuses, riding behind various powerplants)
and still garner a lot of info about the smaller decisions to make (like
covering systems, aux stuff like trim, various tailwheels, wing cutouts, etc).
And it's relaxed and fun.
Oshkosh is just cool. It's like the Smithsonians, can't do it all at once, just
prioritize, be flexible and enjoy it. It's also a great venue for stocking
supplies. You can pick up vouchers for free shipping, etc.

sounds great.. im=C2- confused with what inappropiate language is. i teac
h at a college and none of my students can complete a sentence without usin
g the f word including the women in class. we had a rule at school that sai
d no inappropiate language. then they removed the rule because no one could
decide what the rule meant. even the fcc doesnt know.=C2- personally i h
ave a list of words that really grate on me but i dont want to stop those w
ords from being used. i just put up with them. its called tolerance. i have
a daughter that is a surgeon. she says that the=C2- f word is the most u
sed word in the operating suite. may i suggest that we start a list of offe
nsive words that we all agree that we wont use when referring to our projec

es. to me it seems that the only word that is off limits is now the n word
which was just common language used by lots of folks back in the old days.
times
change..may i also make the point that some words are just fine to use und
er some conditions like puke. puke would be an offensive word over dinner b

a piet with a nice strong cont 75, 65 and 85 motors are great choices and very
reliable and cheap...personally my first choice is the franklin 90. they run forever.
i have flown a piet with a c65 and its a great performer.. one thing nice
about a piet is there aint no room for a fat ass on board. my plane will
have a c65.. it has a fresh yellow taged overhaul from a good engine shop.. i
was too lazy to look for a franklin90. i have a friend with a franklin in it and
its a real hot rod. my engine cost 2,700 with two overhauled mags and a overhauled
carb. all yellow tagged. the prop was 500.00 certified wood senchnic..
72x40 climb

That's a damn good question...
I've used airless sprayers A LOT over the years, but not on a plane.
One problem I do forsee is that they're not very good with small protrusions like
control horns and such. Every time I got into a closet with shelves, it was
HARD to get an even coat without TONS of runs. Those things, real airless sprayers,
not the little quart cup Wagner, throw TONS of paint, LIKE RIGHT NOW.
They're pressure washers throwin' paint.
I have used latex through high quality HVLPs with large nozzles to great effect
on cabinets and such requiring decent control and an even coat. They came out
looking really great without any paint roller texture or anything.
That's all I got! Latex is cheap, give it a shot and let us know how it works.
