Subject: | NX992WD "Finished" |
It has been quite the journey. I started construction back in July of 2008, did
an initial assembly in the garage, (skeletal) in 2011 and did the first engine
start July, 2014. I am calling NX992WD finished as of August, 2014. I say "finished"
because I still have small items to tend to: air brush work, bungee cords,
oil tank repair, maybe a new C.S. lid, etc., etc.
The A.C. is now disassembled and back in my shop. I will spend the winter months
working on those various small items. I hope to find hangar space in the early
spring, truck the A.C. out and do final assembly. Then move on to engine break
in, ground tests, etc.
Attached are some pictures of Foo Fighter 001, "Sweet Susie".

Terry,
Nope, I got mine from "Everett Steel" and they cut each piece to length. It felt
like a kit when I got it home to drill/assemble...! (Not many things on a Pietenpol
feel like a "kit"...!)

Can you share the paint process you used on your engine? And how you plated the
pushrod tubes? Mine appear permanently attached to the head so I don't see
how one could have them plated....

There is also this nice tool, but it has no capability to use a goose-neck

Dan,
Very nice looking indeed. That would look awesome in someone's Pietenpol.
FWIW, I have a picture of the altimeter I found on eBay. It is being rebuilt and
the face restored. If anybody finds an altimeter that needs rebuilding let me
know and I will forward th einfo for the repair station doing mine. I was quoted
a price of $250.00 to get mine restored.

Just curious about the "Kilo Tango" tail code. I looked up the tail code but could
not find it on the Navy websites I went to. I always like to know the background
when builders choose certain features such as tail codes.
Enlighten me, please. Thanks!

Thank you all very much for the kind words and the personal emails. I know you
guys understand what it takes to get here from six years ago and I appreciate
the words of encouragement. I hope I can return the favor to future builders as
I make my way to a proven aircraft platform.
Terry, (others) My paint scheme is from the F-14 Tomcats on board the U.S.S. Nimitz,
VF-84 Jolly Rodgers. I painted K.T. In place of A.J. As noted, K.T. is
short for Karetaker, my call sign while doing air combat on line. Most all the
planes I do combat with have this custom "painted" paint scheme on them...modified
to fit the individual aircraft. It would be cool someday if I am approached
by someone at a fly in whom recognizes my plane solely from doing A.C.M
on line.
