Subject: | Re: Ferry tank for Oskkosh |
English Johnny, I have a British Pietenpol question.
Y'all have to build to engineering approved plans. The British approved
plans have one jury strut on the front strut. WHY? In the US, I see jury
struts on both struts. Why the front strut?
Some background, a local with some homebuilding experience is adamant that
putting jury struts on a Piet is a engineering disaster. The "result" will
be the wing being too stiff out to the strut attachment and it will fold up
at that point.
I am putting Jury struts back on mine. First, they were on before and the
wing did not collapse after 20 years of flight. Second, my study of FAA
Pietenpol accidents show Zero wing failures. Indeed Zero structural
failures in flight! (there was one accident where a flying wire broke and
several Gregas has pushtubes fail. causing accidents.) There are
discussions of Struts folding under negative Gs (IE hard landing) and that
is the reason for the Jury struts.
I also understand that the jury struts should not be centered on the strut
as that lends itself to a harmonic vibration.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Subject: | Re: advice on trim mechanism |
Jeff,
I just use my trim to relieve stick pressures during level flight. The stick pressures
change a lot in my plane during fuel burn. I have a 10 gallon nose tank
and a 12.5 gallon center section tank. When the nose tank only has 5 gallons
or lees in it I am very tail heavy. This is when I need the trim the most.
Your question regarding trimming during landing is a definite no. I tend to
not make approaches in a straight line. I will usually be in a turning slip
to final much like you see people do in a Pitts or other Biplanes. I don't even
notice the stick forces during landing. Oh, It's nice to have during climb
out too.
Not sure if that really answers your question, The plane isn't stable enough to
ever let go of the stick anyway.
Cheers,
--------

I used the PolyFiber Epoxy varnish on top of polyurethane, throughout the
airplane. Polyurethane spar varnish (1 part) is cheaper so I used it for
the first coat, then put on a top coat of epoxy varnish. My landing gear
struts are left just as (epoxy) varnished spruce and have taken a lot of
abuse in the past 10 years, with no degradation of the finish. I love that
epoxy varnish! It is expensive, but not in the grand scheme of things. I
spent about $200 on epoxy varnish for the entire airplane. That's a pretty
small percentage of the $15,000 I spent building it and well worth it to
protect the structure, in my opinion.

I've seen several photos where the outboard sections of the center section end
ribs and (inboard) wing end ribs are covered with a full size gusset; the Hatz
Classic does it that way. I don't see that on my plans, so wondering if I missed
it or that's just become the norm.

John,
I believe it's good practice to thin the first coat about 50% so you get better
penetration into the wood...I just brushed mine and did a little sanding between
coats. Yes, it's a pain and takes a long time which is what scratch-building
is all about!

Subject: | Re: advice on trim mechanism |
I am finishing up my rudder and stab. I like the simple Ray Allen Trim Servo. Install
it in the elevator just like you would a RC Servo and push rod. For power
if I do not have a starter battery, I will power trim system with a lipo battery
along with my hand-held and GPS.
(On the same subject of controls) I have looked at the geometry of the elevator
system and it does not work out. Do the control cables sag as you change stick
position. If you move the control stick forward 15degs. and back 15 degs., the
cable push and pull is not even. This is because the cable on the back stick
connection comes under the 2" pulley, and the front cable goes over the top
of the pulley. The cables from the bell crank to the elevator do not work out.
they hit the front of the horizontal stabilizer and sag. What can be done to
fix this? Is it something to worry about. The bell crank on the original plans
under controls calls for the bearing to be 9" off the bottom. On the extended
fuse update 7-1/8". In another area it calls out 7". The lower it is the more
it rubs.

I used a nautical product called Epiphanes on my gear legs with very good re

He was probably wishing he had a parachute. It would be fun to see how fast
