Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.
Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?
The List Contribution Site is:

Or, drop a personal check in the mail to:

Hi John
Yes, the leading edge is centered on the "main beam" of the horizontal.
I put my gussets on the ledges to keep everything down below the ribs
and outer edges of the whole structure

| Subject: | Re: Honda Goldwing radiator |
I am not a typical purest, but I do intend to stick as close to the plans as possible.
Since I am using a jeep engine instead of a ford, I have drifted a certain
distance from being a pure piet. What I tell myself to justify the engine
change is that mr Pietenpol tried several different engines as well, and
seemed to approve of others experimenting with other engines.
The only way I would have changed the location of the radiator is if I could
have one built that in-circle the prop shaft and be directly between the prop
and engine. That, my friends would be one cool looking pietenpol.

Thanks Earl.and yes, the "main beam". Lot's of snow here already and very slick;
even walking is difficult. Good day to build ribs and then back to my horizontal
stab in the garage.

Kenny,
Here's a list of engines with which Piet's have reportedly flown (there may
be more). I don't think your Jeep engine endangers your purity.

I have this vague memory of Lowell Frank using a Funk engine (essentially an inverted
model B Ford?) and an underslung radiator in his at one point in the past.
As purely a guess, I suspect BHP stayed with the radiator configuration for the
sake of simplicity. No convoluted plumbing, simple cowl,and easy service. Oh
yes, heat. He did live in Minnesota.

| Subject: | Re: Honda Goldwing radiator |
Here's a link to photos of BHP's Sky Scout with the underslung radiator.
http://www.ktfiles.com/N12941.html
The same aircraft is still flying today, in Australia.
http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/N12941/n12941.htm
And, there's this post from April 20, 2006:
The radiator that Bernard mounted under the engine was used only on the Model A
powered Scout...it worked really well... I restored the airplane about 40 years
ago and it is still flying today. I doubt that it could be made to work on
an Air Camper, because the firewall is vertical...on the Model A Scout, the firewall
slanted back, allowing the cooling air from the radiator to travel up and
back to exit through louvers on the top cowl ahead of the instrument panel.
Bernard didn't "reject" the radiator installation...he just didn't build any
more single place airplanes.

Bill,
I'm building a Sky Scout and following the plans closely. I don't see that the
firewall slants at all, it is verticle. The first picture on WCP shows the louvers
just in front of the firewall. Not sure if these comments help.

Ken;
Some years ago there was an award-winning scale replica Curtiss "Canuck" at Oshkosh,
with a Geo Metro engine (I think). Really pretty airplane. If I remember
correctly, he duplicated the Jenny/Canuck arrangement of the radiator flat
on the nose with a hole through it for the prop shaft to pass through. You can
do it ;o)
