John F.,
I measured the die spring "can" and it was indeed 2.25 tubing. I can only assume
that William already had some on hand, but that does appear to be what it was
made of.
Hope that helps.

| Subject: | Re: DIe Spring gear |
Terry,
After reviewing the list of materials WW had you purchase, I'm scratching my head
wondering the gear is constructed.
Would it be possible to get a sketch of the gear showing tube sizes; i.e., what
goes where? Obviously, some tubing needs to telescope within others, but the
lengths shown on the Invoice don't make complete sense without some form of a
sketch or drawing.
If you can pull a sketch together, I'll create a formal drawing and post online
for all to review.
Thanks,
--------

per aircraft spruce the inside diameter (ID) of 2.25 inch outer diameter
tubing is 2.10 inch. This allows a 2 inch washer room to move in the "can".

I got my Brodhead Pietenpol Association newsletter for the Second Quarter
2017. Great publication as usual. If you are not a member I suggest
joining. Of course there were lots of pretty pictures and good articles.
Douwe's article on how to using aluminum tubing to dress up your cowling
was well written. It reminds me that in my cocpit. I used PVC tubing cut
into sections and split to put on the sharp edge of the alumium around the
cockpit. After putting the PVC on I covered it with Black foam plumbing
insulation from the aviation section at Lowes and covered that with
Pleather and laced it on with holes drilled in the metal. The lacing was a
US Army Bootlace!
Douwe's Tailwheel Control horn length article hit home. I am quite Glad I
saw this, Mine was attached to a set of inside holes, thus the pedals were
set up to over control my plane on the ground. Based on this article, I
will reattach the rudder wires to the outer holes which are close to the
width of the Rudder horns. This should result in neutral steering.
Clay Hammond's article on the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome fly-in has promted me
to keep the newsletter informed about the fly-ins and events at the Old
Kingsbury Aerodrome in South Texas. It is very similar to Old Rhinebeck and
indeed has a Model T powered Pietenpol Scout!
Thanks Pat for the great newsletter. BTW I still like having it in paper.
Blue Skies,
Steve "The Luddite" D

BLUF. I might have an option on getting an Aeronca 7AC Champ. What is
y'alls opinion on using it as a training aircraft? Plusses and minuses, VS
say the Cessna 172 or 152.

Steve,
IMHO, I have always thought (other things being equal) that a tandem seat aircraft
made a better trainer than side by side, but that is what I learned and later
taught in. Others may think differently.

Terry, i learned in Cessna 150s. I think side by side enhances learning.
tandem taildraggers may make better seat of the pants pilots.
