Subject: | Re: Placards and Markings |
Before I called the local FSDO to come out to do the airwirthiness
inspection on my Pietenpol, I printed out the applicable FARs and had them
ready. When he balked at the missing EXPERIMENTAL label, I just handed him
the regs, along with a picture of the Rudolph Pietenpol (the regs don't
require EXPERIMENTAL if the NX is applied in the numbers and the design has
been flying for at leat 30 years. Since the Rudolph Piet has been flying
since 1934 that was part of the qualification.).
He signed it off with no further questions.

FWIW, my FAA inspector could care less about the "NX" on my N-number. He
only wanted to see the word "EXPERIMENTAL" somewhere on the foreword panel.

sure to start a lively discussion by asking about the "passenger warning"
placard. My airplane and others do not have the "EXPERIMENTAL" letters by
the cockpit entry, under the exception in the FARs that covers aircraft
bearing the "NX..." registration markings. This is covered in 14 CFR 14.22
and 23. If the registration markings do not include the X between the N and
the registration numbers, then the "EXPERIMENTAL" marking is required near
the cockpit entry.

Gardiner,
Here are some pics of mine. I can only seem to add one pic at a time so there
will be 3 post. Lets give it a try.
Paul. Just a FYI, I have never flown a Piet that would fly hands off like you
are hoping. The best has been for only a few seconds at a time. It is not like
trimming a cessna for various airspeeds. You may be asking too much from the
Piet. My 3 cents.

Again with a simple bell crank with a tension spring, pull cable attached to it
and a friction ajustment to hold it in position. It is a VERY effective trim
tab. Sorry for the fuzzy pic but it is all I have right now. The bell crank
is at the base of the throttle lever.

At a certain fuel level, mine will fly hands off in pitch,
but I have a bit more washout on the left wing than t
he right and without feet on the rudder bar, mine will gra
dually turn left. Gonna try and fix that with a new front
right strut fitting over the winter, and possibly an elevator
trim gizmo. =0A=0A=0AMatt Paxton=0ANX629ML=0A=0A=0A=0A-----Original Mess
