My main computer crashed and it took ages to get it running again. I checked the email account and there were around 700 emails waiting...mostly junk. However, amongst them all, I a found a mail from Jim Markle that he sent in January of this year. I have just sent a mail back to him a day or two ago apologizing for taking so long to get back to him...a 6 1/2 month later response time is a bit too long I think! Anyway, things are quiet on the Pietenpol front over here in Japan land. Both my friends Piet and mine have been dormant for quite while. Things are crazy busy at the moment and have been that way for a fair while but, I still fly my little r/c Piet to keep my sanity. That little model is now almost 14 years old.....and still going strong! Long live the Piet! Presently I am trying to learn gas welding in the hopes of being able to make up the metal fittings etc for my project.......I am a slow learner so even that may take a while! Well, just wanted to say g'day to everyone on the list and hopefully I can get on with the project sooner rather than later! Cheers to everybody!

If you can find a NOS (New, old stock) hub they go for somewhere around $600. The hubs are prone to cracking and if you find an old one to buy, you should have it magnafluxed to ensure that it is not cracked. The nice thing about the tapered shaft is that the propeller can be removed very easily and quickly from the engine. The hub is simply unscrewed from the shaft and prop and hub are removed as an assembly from the engine.

On the taper shaft hub, there is a shaft that comes forward through the prop and that shaft secures to the prop by a flange that is bolted to the face of the prop. On the flanged shaft, the flange on the nose of the crank does not have an extension through the nose of the prop. It has drive lugs that engage counterbored holes in the aft face of the prop and the prop bolts pass through the crush plate and prop into the threaded drive lugs. I don't know what your buddy is concerned about, because people who have or want older airplanes with these engines are very aware of the differences between the hubs and how to fit props to them. I have never heard anyone mention anything like, "that's a taper shaft hub, I'm going to pass on it because I can't find a prop to fit it". The prop makers will bore and counter-bore your prop as needed to fit either one. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=446321#446321 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:11:32 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Patricia's Pietenpol From: Scott Knowlton Yup, roughly 12" is called out for in the plans. Several flying examples in my area went to 16" with good results. Doing the W&B is kind of a chicken a nd egg thing when building. I try my best to follow the practices of success fully flying aircraft. My jig is currently set to 16" but I haven't fabrica ted the mount yet. I'm also using a C-85 (slightly heavier) and am contempl ating a simple light weight starter/generator so I still have more weight th at can be added to the fwd CG end. Battery could go anywhere in the end.... . It's all about keeping the tail light and your options open....

I have all the W&B info and measurements that I took of my engine mount and everything else, and I'll check it out but I re call that it is pretty close to stock. For now, I can tell you by looking a t the roll of plans right next to me that the Pietenpol family plans for the Continental mount (at the top) call for 11-3/16" from face of engine mount s pool to the center of the bolt that attaches the engine mount to the mount f itting at the firewall, and 10-5/8" at the bottom, for a bit of downthrust. Less than 12" from rear of engine to firewall, I'd say, so Patricia's is a g ood bit extended from stock.

For example, my piet CG is 18.4" aft of datum [LE] when loaded to the max with 220 LB pilot, 150 LB passenger, full fuel in nose tank 12gal, 10 LB baggage ...this is excellent and well within allowable range. However, when loaded with just me, 110 LB, no passenger and full fuel in nose tank, the CG is 13.9" aft of datum which is well forward of the most forward, allowable CG of 15" So, something will have to be done to rectify this - since I will mostly be flying solo with no passenger ! According to the calculations, removing the nose tank and putting a tank in the wing will bring the CG into allowable range. This is being done right now !! Anyone want to buy a Cub nose tank ?

They were made by Hayes Company for airplanes. There were three different sizes available. I believe mine are the smallest of the three. There are three rows of spokes on the rim side. The outside rows are for side-loads. The spokes are all parallel and do not cross each other. Therefore there are no brakes. The hub would just come out if torsional loads were applied during any braking action applied to the hubs. Planes had tail skids back then. I have found that by keeping my tires at a very low air pressure, the planes stops in a reasonable distance. If I have too much air then the darn thing just keeps rolling and rolling. Yes they hold up very well. I do not baby them. I spend a lot of time flying off the desert where there are no runways. Maybe more than you wanted to know?

Some Bonanza Pilots carry empty plastic milk jugs. With two pilots in the front seats, None in the back and nothing in the baggage compartment, we are forward of the CG limits. One or two milk jugs filled with water in the Baggage compartment brings us into CG. Note. Forward of CG and the plane gets so sluggish you may not be able to flare for landing. Aft of CG and the plane gets so twitchy that you may over control and stall the plane. A lot of pilots get it backwards thinking it involves the main wing. It has to do with how close the Center of weight is to the elevators. (You did not ask, nor do I think you don't know this, but it is a favorite subject of mine.)

From: "Pietflyer1977" Hi Jeff, I bought the home built Grove 6.00x6 magnesium wheel and disc brake kit from aircraft spruce and bought the tires and tubes direct from Desser Tire. I think aired up they were inch taller than on the plans 20" vs 19" if I remember correctly. I am working on building my landing gear so not sure on the stance when on yet but in my opinion they are just right for the look I want. Not too big and not too small.

A good used one should cost no more than a hundred bucks. Useful for everything. For another hundred or two, get one with a transmission to slow it down for metal cutting. This makes making all the metal fittings much easier. Next on the list is a nice little stationary belt/disc sander combo.
