Dear Listers,

| Subject: | were to find a radiator |
A question for the water cooled pietenpolers out there. Is there an off the shelf
radiator that works . Maybe a small tractor such as the 8N , or a small
car radiator ? I know that we are limited as to the size and I hate to have
the expense one custom built.

Hello Ray. I am down with the heat muff on the Scout. Do you have feedback on how
well it does/does not work?

I am considering building a Sky Scout. I have some questions.
I am 5 foot 9 in tall and weigh 220 lbs. will I fit in one and the CG be ok?
Who else on the list is building or flying one?
What is the hardest part about building one?
Thanks

Mike,
I've run the engine maybe 10 times, but I've not actually tried the carb heat,
can you believe that? Depending on other obligations, I might try it this week,
or early next week. Please check back with me, if I don't respond.

Hello Mike
Search west coast Pietenpol. Enormous amount of info there. If you want to look
at plans, flying and glider manual reprints are available through EAA website
Construction pretty straightforward but this is an airplane you are building.
It's a long-term project but very satisfying. If you are married get the wife
on board or it won't happen if you're not married consider marrying the project
because that's what kind of devotion it takes.
Although they have been built in the space equivalent to a single car garage
you really need more space shop organization is critical although you don't really
need that many tools
You really can learn a lot more on the West Coast Piet site and the archives
of this site than any one person can tell you. Anyway welcome to the neighborhood

Thank you Glen. I am married and my wife is ok with me building. I need to make
a commitment to getting started and finishing it. I do have a set of plans for
the Scout and the Air Camper. Thanks for your suggestions I will ck out the
West Coast Piet web site.

Copy. I am curious to hear how the muff does both on the ground and in the air.

Mike,
If you have tools to dimension your own lumber, you are 3 hrs away from a really
good source for rough Sitka spruce. McCormick lumber has really nice stuff for
I believe around $10 BF
welcome to the group!

Jon,
Thanks for the tip. I have some spruce and some doug fir already but I will probably
need to get more. It is good to know about McCormick Lumber, I hope I can
get up there some day. Do you know what dimensions their boards are?
Thanks much,
Mike

Every time I've been there they've had 4/4 and 5/4, random widths with most around
5 to 6 inches. Super clear 16 ft lengths or a little more.
The 5/4 easily dimensions to 1" if you want very simple one piece spars.

Mike; I'm curious to know why you've decided on the 1-place Sky Scout over the
2-place Air Camper? Performance is about the same, construction is about the
same (give or take one set of controls), cost to build and operate will be about
the same. Not criticizing your decision... just wondering. Welcome to the
list!
