It'll be interesting to see what crops up w/in the next decade or so in that department, whether there will be a copy of an old 30's design,etc.. (lots of CNC machining going on).. Happy w/my little bullet proof A-65, but I can see the switch to a neat li'l radial, if reliable enough for x-countries Lar -------- KLNC A65-8 N2308C AN Hardware Airframe 724TT W72CK-42 Sensenich Standard Factory GN-1 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441226#441226 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:25:16 AM PST US From: "Barry Davis" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Too smart.... by half. Maybe a touch of safety wire between the 2 clamps (or maybe all 3) would be good to reduce the stress of =9Cwhat-if?=9D the next time you fly.

Fellow Pietenpolers, While doing all my springtime preliminaries, maintenance items etc. to get the Loensloe airplane ready for flight, I decided to re-make and replace some of the steel tube components that connect and hold the radiator hoses in place. The old ones were getting corroded on the inside pretty bad along with the interface surfaces that come in contact with the rubber radiator hoses. As a matter of fact I had a pretty difficult time pulling apart some of the hoses off the joints due to rust. So today I was test-running the engine, all set to fly it right after that. After about 2 minutes at full power, while standing along side the pilot's pit, there was a loud "POP" and I got a sudden shower of radiator water on my head. I immediately pulled the throttle back and turned off the mag. While my head was still dripping, I walked around to the engine and found the hose had popped off the newly-made fitting (the one in this photo). I have come to the conclusion that the reason was that while I was assembling all this I got the bright idea to use Aviation Gasket Sealer on the joints. I am pretty sure this stuff reduced the friction under the hose clamps and with a little pressure, the assembly let loose. I have deliberately NOT put this on the Piet Facebook sight, for fear of retribution from my wife. So in my efforts to be "more safe" I inadvertently made it "less safe". Sometimes plain and simple is the best.

Oscar, Are the data plates specific to the AirCamper, or Pietenpols in general? Could I use it for my SkyScout?

For the life of me though, I can't seem to find where the coolant hoses connect to the Continental A75. Do you happen to know? ;o) > > In other news, I just had an email from a builder by the name of Robert Caldwell up near Longview, Texas who says he's nearing completion of his Air Camper, NX929RC. He was asking if I still had the brass data plates for sale (I do). It's good to hear that another Piet will soon be taking flight, and it's also a reminder that only a fraction of the builders out there are on this list or maybe they are, but they are inactive or just lurk here. A nice, healthy population of low 'n' slow experimenters continues to keep the tin-benders and fast glass in check. > > -------- > Oscar Zuniga > Medford, OR > Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" > A75 power > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441209#441209 > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
