| Subject: | Re: Jury Strut Kit Pictures |
The Carlson kit uses two "L" brackets bolted through the strut with an insert inside
the strut itself. These "L" brackets are bent in such a way that when the
strut is installed on the plane, the bracket tab will be vertical to attach
to the jurys. There is also some notching of the streamline jury struts required
to get them to fit one another. Perhaps if you call Carlson, they could email
you a PDF of sorts of the manual so you will see how it all goes together.

Dang! The timing of all these great events is always off this year for me!!
I'm leaving that morning to drive to Colorado or I'd be there in a heart
beat!!
Wish there were more early fall events since the WX is so nice right now.
Next year.

A momentous day for my Piet!! With the help of some great friends and skill
ed builders my project rolled out on to the driveway for the first time. It s
eems like she's been upside down on sawhorses for months - oh wait, it has b
een months... But the wait was worth it.

Way to go!
That's a lot of work you've accomplished on the underside.
Looks great.
I'm jealous.

| Subject: | The T-38, F-104 and the Pietenpol-- off topic |
When I was at the USAF Museum in Dayton I stretched my arms out on each win
g of the T-38 Talon and couldn't believe how
short the wings were so just looked up the wingspan and a Pietenpol wing is
FOUR feet longer than a T-38. (29' vs 25' for the Talon)
The Pietenpol wing is 9 feet longer than the F-104's wingspan! Okay, bac
k to your normally scheduled programming.

Nice photos. I've got about 3000 hours in the T-38 - capable of supersonic.
Maybe 100 times faster than the Piet. This would be Tim Taylor's idea of '
more power.' A delight to fly in its realm. I'm going to enjoy my Piet beca
use of its own advantages.

I can bring the case halves and bolts and crank; no problem. Currently taking a
second one apart and I'll bring those also. Would it be worth bringing any other
parts? Not enough room for two engines, so just wondering if I should bother
bringing the heads, cylinders, etc.
Is there anything for the women to do? Do attendees buy tickets (register) for
their wives?

| Subject: | The Jeep Pietenpol engine update |
Hello friends, I have recently tested a jeep 134 engine with an old 72x46 senisenich
propeller , and was disappointed with the results. I was only able to
squeeze 1800 rpm's from the motor. After a lot of encouragement from here
and my facebook friends to not give up, I made up a new propeller from dimensions
suggested to me by William Wynne. He graciously answered my call to figure
his best estimate as to a propeller that would work on this particular engine..
The resulting propeller is a 64x32 with the hefty style of a Hamilton Standard
shape that I copied because I like that look. After testing the prop
today I was seeing nearly 2400 static rpm and a world of air moving. It
has given me enough encouragement to continue with my project to use the Jeep.
In my opinion this engine if matched to the correct propeller and carburetor
would be a good candidate for the Pietenpol aircamper . If this attachment
doesn't work and you would like to see the engine run with the new propeller,
Go to youtube and type Kenny Crider you will see the video jeep engine
new prop test run.
