But longer wood fuselage has one more bay. Has anyone else done this?

I did my steel fuselage exactly the side-view dimensions but two inces wider. If I did it again I would do same with the one exception of adding three inces to the passenger bay. -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443863#443863 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:17:32 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Propeller suggestions for O-200? From: "Andy Garrett" I was just afforded a rare opportunity to purchase a firewall forward Continental O-200 sans mount and prop. This is the very engine I learned behind years ago and it was just overhauled 18 months ago. The price is right, and I'm buying it. Another student damaged the airplane beyond practical repair, so... the owner is parting it out. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for cost effective wooden propeller options that have proven to be successful on the draggy Piet. Kansas is very hot in the summer, so while I don't want to give away too much speed, performance definitely has to lean toward climb. While I'm at it, any suggestions on sourcing a mount? Thanks. -------- Andy Garrett 'General Purpose Creative Dude' Haysville, Kansas Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443866#443866 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:08 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Propeller suggestions for O-200? From: "taildrags" Andy; this is a combination that has flown on the Air Camper before, so you won't be blazing a new trail. Depending on the accessories you plan to put on the engine (or keep on it), you may be able to adapt a standard small Continental engine mount as detailed in the Pietenpol family plans. If I remember correctly, the O200 incorporates a different set of rubber mounts than the standard conical ones that are used on the smaller Continentals, but there are also some adapters that let you use those conical mounts with the O200. If you're building a mount from scratch, it's better to build it to fit the O200 to begin with. My guess is it won't be long before you hear back from various folks on this list who are flying behind the O200 or who are building that combination, and in any case I believe one of the Jacks on this list is keeping a semi-current list of builders, owners, and airplanes including engine types so it should be easy to search. If memory serves, one or more of our friends in the UK also has this engine on their Air Camper. Where are you located? -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443889#443889 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:23:09 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: long steel fuselage From: "taildrags" Jake; do you maintain a builder website or some other place where you post progress updates? Last we heard, you had the fuselage on the gear and the engine hung. What's the status these days? Have you run the radial yet? -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443890#443890 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 08:32:49 PM PST US From: John Hofmann Subject: Pietenpol-List: New BPA Issue and need a few Beta Testers Hello Good People! The latest BPA issue is in the mail and should be hitting your doors starting this week. I am in the process of trying to put one more together before Brodhead. One thing I would like to do is put a nice tribute to Dick Navritil in that issue. If you have any stories and or pictures to share of Dick, please send them my way so we can salute him in the manner he deserves. He touched a lot of lives and was a key figure in the Piet movement of the last several years. Also, I have a new website about to launch and would like 5 to 10 people to help in beta testing. Let me know if you are interested. -john- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
