| Subject: | Bending aileron pulley brackets |
Hi again all,
I'm trying to bend all the aileron pulley brackets but am not having any success
so need some ideas to help,
I've used a bender but can only make the first bend and have to hammer bend the
second needed which then doesn't have the same radius.
I'll post a picture later, PLEASE HELP!

Hey!
It is getting harder to find C85's as people don't seem to want to part with
them.
0200's however are plentiful and a core is pretty affordable.. I got an
0200 and by simply changing the cam and a few other things, turned it into a
C90. Wanting a shorter nose, I even left the gen and starter on it for
weight and my CG is perfect.
One could easily strip off the heavier stuff and probably not have to slant
your wing back. The piet flies great with a C90. The downside is more fuel
consumption, but chugging along at 2000rpm I burn maybe a gallon per hour
more than a 65.

Dave,
Have fun seeing your fuselage quickly take shape. Building the frame of the fuselage
is the step with the highest degree of "instant gratification" in the whole
project. In a matter of just a few days, you go from a bundle of sticks
to something that looks as though you're actually building an airplane.
No need to beef up anything on the fuselage structure. It's plenty strong, as designed.
Just follow the plans, and everything will be fine.
Actually, on The Last Original, BHP used 7/8" x 1" longerons - with the 1" being
the vertical dimension. Of course, it's only been flying for about 50 years,
so time will tell whether it will hold up.

Johnny,
Going to need to see those photos to determine what your issue is.

UK plans have made them more complicated.

Hi Dave,
I'm using the C85. Tom Wottreng built it for me. He is an authority on sma
ll Continentals and a great fellow! He has a website now, www.tomwottreng.c
om. He let me assist with my engine assembly which was quite an education.
I have pictures of the build on my dated web, www.textors.com. Good luck wi
th your build.

Tom is building up a C-85 for one of our flight school Cubs and just did
one for the Cub I am rebuilding out of Chicago. He does great work and
is fairly priced.

Douwe- Thanks. I'm going to keep it a hand-prop, as that is what I am used to and
really need the weight savings. I'll bet your plane can really climb..
Really like your plane- a pic of it hangs above my workbench.
Jack & John- thanks for the reference. I have been talking to Don at Don's Dream
Machines and he may end up doing my engine if I don't do it myself. He offered
me a nice deal on an A-65 but I've decided C85 or larger.

Thanks Bill
It was exciting to lay out the longhorns yesterday. BTW, I can't believe what Sitka
Spruce costs these days... the truck showed up with my wood order and I kept
telling him " there has to be another box in there"... [Wink]

Hello,
Would you consider making more of these and selling them. I'm VERY
interested and can think of 2 more Piet builders that would be interested
as well.

I've tried RG45 and ER70S-2 rods. Used Victor # 00, 0, and 1 tips. I even followed
Bingelis's advice about not letting my dog wag his tail. All with the same
result - nice looking but easily broken welds. I'll try some more this Sunday
with your advice in mind. Thanks.
