I can now modify my mockpit to allow for both the hand grasp at the cutout as well as use the cabane struts as a means to exit. This mockpit will end up being a sort of exercise equipment for me :) Thanks also for thoughts on the front seat.. I will start now looking for prospective passengers who might need help getting in.

I wouldn't know --- my Piet is still a few months from completion. Chuck On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 7:40 AM, hall698 wrote: > > Excellent info.

In Lincoln, MO., someone there built a large triangle out of 2 X 2 X 1/8 angle. and had mounted one mower at the apex, two mowers behind and the width of the first mowers cut apart for the second row and at the back of the triangle mounted three mowers, the width of the other mowers apart. It would cut about half the runway when pulled with a truck or anything with a hitch. They were all old salvaged mowers that were either discarded or bought used cheap and could be replaced individually if one should quit running.

Thank you, and yes- turning the other cheek is scriptural! As to anything having to do with Stearmans, I'm game. I have never been in one, in flight or on the ground, although I will admit to having listened innumerable times with eyes closed and volume turned up on my headphones to "Round Sounds Vol. 1", Track No. 1, which is a startup to shutdown circuit of the airport in a Stearman. I can visualize everything about the flight every time I listen to that recording, but am especially enamored of the sounds as the airplane comes down final with the wind in the wires and the engine at idle, then the pilot briefly bumps the throttle to clear the engine just before landing, and then there is the shhhhh-shhhh of the tires on grass. Beautiful. That track is tied with Track 6, a Lockheed Electra from takeoff through climb to level cruise, as being the most mesmerizing of sounds that I can imagine. The spine-tingling part of the Electra recording is when the pilot gently walks the power levers to synch No. 1 and No. 2 where they tease each other back and forth through resonance until they both smooth together into a smooth, beautiful unity. Twin radials in cruise flight... nothing else quite like it. (Jake Schultz, where are you with that round engine on your Piet, man??!!) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465547#465547 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:12:30 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: West Coast Piet From: "taildrags" Jack; are you talking about what you need to access the site? Yikes... I just tried it and although it was always free access, now it prompts for a username and password. Not sure what happened... maybe Chris can chime in when he sees this. An invaluable resource! I was thinking of sending in some photos to Westcoastpiet of an Air Camper that is being built in Brazil by Fabrizio Bolelli, and he's doing a beautiful job of it! He is building to the 1932 Flying & Glider Manual plans, looks like he's got it complete from firewall aft (including fabric and paint), and is now trying to decide on an engine. I sent him a weight & balance spreadsheet so he could run some what-ifs on the choices he is thinking about. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465548#465548 ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 11:28:13 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: West Coast Piet From: "Catdesigns" No, you do not need a password.
