Pieter, I need a little help. Lost my source for wheels, brakes and master cylinders.
Am leaning toward motorcycle wheels and brakes. Would like your thoughts and suggestions
please. Although I'm not ready for them yet I like to accumulate my
parts in advance.

It appears that the link you have for flight instruction in an EA be aircraft is
a dead link or it's linked to something other than what you want.

Brent,
Welcome! I'm a new builder too. I recommend Tony Bingelis' advise to build a mockup
fuselage (or any other part) before you build the 'flying' parts. I built
a mockup fuse over a couple of weekends and it has been a great help to me in
understand how the thing goes together, what to avoid next time, and filling
in the many details omitted from the plans. I'm modifying the long-Corvair fuselage
for just one person so I've worked out many changes on the mockup. Also,
landing gear design and placement and fuel tank design and placement are important
elements that aren't well described in the various plans. Good luck,
--------

Corky,
For my wheels I used rims off the rear wheels of a 650 Yamaha. The hubs were made by me from plans that have been around for awhile. Chris Tracy's website has a lot of info on the wheels and how the hubs can be made. Here is a link. http://www.westcoastpiet.com/wire_wheels.htm
I used Buchanans in California for my custom spokes.

Thanks for updating the links. The only problem I foresee is finding a DPE who
is willing to give the checkride. The aircraft is not being rented out as there
is no compensation for use, and I would not be charging for the instruction.
I fail to see any issues here legally speaking.

Subject: | Front seat attach point |
Hello,
I'm trying to understand the back part of the front seat bottom. Where is the passenger
weight going (besides that front support)? Where and how is the back
of the seat attached? It appears it's going to be against the cross piece on the
seat back. Is the seat just glued to that? Looking at photos on the web don't
help.
Thank you,
--------
John

John,
Not the best pictures but this may give you an idea.

I installed some additional uprights on top of the cross braces. They provide support
for the rear of the seat, a bit like chair legs.
More pictures available at http://www.cpc-world.com.

Subject: | Re: the Air Camper as a training aircraft |
Whatever the case as far as formalities and logbook entries for the purpose on
working on a rating, I would consider stick time in an Air Camper to be both valuable
and pleasurable to anyone who is learning to fly or looking to improve
their stick and rudder skills. The fact that flight time in a Piet is very,
very inexpensive makes it all the more fun. When I flip on the master switch
on a $120/hr certified rental airplane, every minute that the gyros are whirring
I can feel two bucks leaving my pocket. Those same two bucks can buy me enough
avgas to fly a touch-and-go in the Piet. I can go out and put 2.0 hr in
the logbook in the Piet and burn less than $40 on gas and oil for a very nice
afternoon flight but I will burn that in rental cost just with ground operations
in the certified rental aircraft. Just sayin'.

Ok, I'm new so I have a lot of questions. I've noticed when a newbie asks a question
somebody answers it then politely suggests you could have looked in the
archives and got the answers. So how do you get to the archives and search for
a previously asked questions?

Very good idea, indeed. You can get your staple gun and a squeeze bottle of yellow
carpenter's glue to build your mockup so you don't have to fuss with mixing
structural epoxy and all of that. Of course you can use whatever wood is handy
and available, and if you mess anything up, you aren't shedding big tears
over ruining a beautiful piece of Sitka spruce. In fact, if you split something
while bending it, or if there's a knot that you don't want to bother taking
out, you can just scab on a plywood gusset over it and keep going.

Subject: | Re: Front seat attach point |
John; when I had to rebuild the front seat in 41CC, I added vertical sticks to
support the aft ends of the seat side rails. It's not fancy, but I just felt
like with passengers stepping into the front cockpit and standing on the seat,
it needed vertical support. Some pictures here (but Peter's are WAAYY nicer!):

Brent: go here-
http://www.matronics.com/search/
Start by selecting the Pietenpol list, then enter your search word(s) and any other
criteria, and there you go. For example, I just searched on the word 'mockup'
and got 154 messages in 1 second of searching.
