Subject: | Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

Finally the beast has a new home. For a while
at least. This is the RAA hanger at Delta
Airpark. In the spring it'll move into the club's
shop at the East end of the hanger.
Now I've got room to put the wings on!!! :-)

Subject: | Elevator Bellcrank |
There appears to be a measurement discrepancy on the plans regarding the location
of the Bellcrank for the elevators. Drawing 1 for the fuselage shows the pivot
point located at 7" above the bottom of the lower longeron. Drawing 4 for
the flight controls shows that same pivot point at 9" above the lower longeron.
Can any builders/fliers who have done one or the other shed light on this? Presumably,
the higher the Bellcrank the better the geometry of the cables over the
top of the horizontal stab.....

Delta airpark! Last time I was there was 1973. I didn't know it was
still there.

And the supplementary plans for the long fuselage show 7 1/8" to add to the confusion.

Subject: | Willys Jeep Pietenpol |
UP-Date on the Jeep powered pietenpol. Late this afternoon I finally got the
engine bolted down and hooked up. There are a few temporary fittings and such,
but I think I had it close to the final stage to do a power test.
At full power I was able to see 225 lbs on the official Fish scales. I may be able to tune a little better performance with another carburetor, I am not sure there is a lot of extra left... I will try to add a link to a youtube video of the run .http://youtu.be/BLTiPoNT5oM

I'll stand up and take the mike now. I am a hardware store pop rivet junkie and
I have not been able to break the habit. I admit it. It's just too easy and
too cheap. I use them for everything, but when it came time to do some metalwork
on the Air Camper, I balked. I was making repairs to various metal parts
after the nose-over incident and I knew I couldn't use hardware store pop rivets
or I would be scorned and sneered at by every pilot, builder, and tech counselor
who looked at Scout. It so happened that in the course of Corky's comings
and goings (Corky built Scout and I bought the airplane from him), he decided
that he would not be needing a lot of his shop tools and I became the proud
owner of a rivet "gun", bucking bar, a couple of rivet sets, a rivet cutter,
and various ziplock bags and cans of assorted rivets. I sorted out all the
rivets to see what I had, inventoried everything, and put it all in a riveting
stuff bin in the hangar. I was terrified of trying to set a rivet, much less
long strings of hundreds of them all down and around the metal parts of an aircraft.
It didn't matter that Scout is a wood and fabric airplane ;o) My rationale
for not trying rivets was that I didn't own a decent air compressor. So
that was that, for a time.
One day a guy that I worked with got himself a new air compressor and he gave me
his old one. It is one of the old fashioned belt-drive reciprocating compressors
that goes chunka-chunka-chunka instead of brrrrrr like the high-speed ones
do. It takes its time, but gets there. It has a receiver tank on wheels,
a handle to tote it with, a pressure switch, and power cord. I've been threatening
to fabricate a belt guard for it so I don't get a shirt sleeve (or worse)
tangled up in it, but I need to learn how to rivet first ;o) Anyway, I completely
dismantled the contraption, went through it all, repainted the metal parts,
got a new set of lawnmower wheels for it, and all of a sudden I had what
it took to be able to spray paint and set rivets.
Setting solid rivets is easier than you think, it's far more durable and "aircraft-y"
than hardware store pop rivets, and it makes a really cool sound in your
hangar when you set rivets. Mind you, I have not set more than a couple of
dozen solid rivets in my entire life, but I am finding that there is a great deal
of satisfaction in seeing them turn out right. I can pull cheap pop rivets
all day long doing things like repairing gutters or making simple things out
of sheet metal and tin snips, but setting solid rivets is different. There are
a number of very useful resources out there for anyone wanting to learn how
to do it. The EAA's "Hints for Homebuilders" videos are a good start.
I have also pulled aircraft-grade Cherry and Avex rivets and I have a partially-completed
Zenith 601XL in my hangar (along with the wing spar mod kit to make
it a -B model). I have a CD with a series of videos on how to install the spar
mods, and it involves drilling out possibly thousands of pulled and solid
rivets and then installing thousands more of them to accomplish the spar modifications.
For that job, I'll get a pneumatic puller and someone to help me handle
the wing skins and the long chore of drilling out and setting new rivets.
Then I'll probably go insane and my wife will call the guys in the white coats
to come and take me to a rehabilitation place where I can once again spend
my days working with wood and fabric and soothe my nerves.
Did I mention that I don't know how to weld? Actually, I know how to JB Weld,
and I use it for everything that I can pop rivet together... ;o)
