looks positivly high tech.
Altimeter, compass, airspeed and VSI.
two radios, clock, intercom, engine instrumentation, Parking brake.
interesting location for ELT
Is that a G-meter?
I see carb heat and (I think) mixture, what is the other lever for in front
of the throttle?
mine is a lot simpler.
My commo gear is a megaphone.
Airspeed is done by throwing a piece of wood on a rope overboard and
counting the knots on the rope as it feeds out.
My compass is a magnetized needle setting on a leaf in a bowl of water
which is much better than using the moss growth on the north side of the
cabanes.

Hello,Mike
I plan to use a William Wynne Corvair conversion of 110 HP. This engine wil
l be built with a fifth bearing and billet crank.
I've given lots of thought to a color scheme and have decided to go with a
n adaptation of the British Cammoflage used on the dH82 Tigermoth.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the build process. I'm doing most of the build a
t my brother's shop about40 minutes from home. Ribs are being built at home
and I'm currently kitting all the parts for the top wing. They're standard
pietenpol. The lower wing ribs are the same profile but smaller. With 28r
ibs on top and 24 on the bottom, I'll be pretty busy.
While I'm on the subject of ribs, I made a prototype from the rib jig to
double check measurements of a finished product. I used CA glue for this a
nd decided to make a test piece as I do for every batch of T-88. In testing
to destruction, I got the same results. Any thoughts on using CA glue inst
ead of T-88 for the ribs?

I don't understand why someone puts a VSI in the panel of a VFR airplane like a
Piet. A Pitts - maybe. A Piet? I don't get it.

Subject: | Re: Hot Mag Fatality. |
Hearing William mention Gary Collins makes me miss him all the more. I live close
to Gary's house and airfield and we were good friends. I had just flown to
his place the week before to perform a new weight and balance on the Tailwind
he bought out of Baraboo. I installed and tracked the replacement propeller
we put on the Tailwind before the new owner flew it out months after the accident.
That was another heart wrenching day. I always had propeller safety in
mind, but Gary's accident really made it personal for me. We lost a great friend
and pilot that day.
Be safe out there!

Not to be a contrarian, but I think I see why someone would want one -- it's fun
to throttle back to create a descent rate similar to a glider, and then go thermaling.
My former hangarmate has a VSI in his Pup and is a former glider pilot
and goes thermaling a lot. He got me onto this sort of fun flying. He claims
that a VSI allows him to better monitor the ups and downs.

Jeff,
Makes sense.
I would just get the smallest one I could find. You don't need a big one to ride
the thermals. On second thought, with my eyes, I probably need the big one...
