Great articles and information, but the cover photo alone was worth it. Prospective Air Camper builders and pilots would do well to study that photo in detail, as it captures the airplane's classic lines and geometry and is crisp enough to answer a lot of questions about building details. The fact that the photo was taken in flight tells a bit about what size the cockpit is and how tall the windscreens should be, but best of all it conveys the Piet flying experience as well as a photo can. You can look at the Ford engine and mentally set the airplane at the airspeed it's going and the engine at the RPM it's turning and you're there. -------- 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=469302#469302 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:32:01 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Heim bearings for landing gear struts. From: "jarheadpilot82" Steve, Let me give you the measurements as seen in the picture above - The space between the plates that the bearing sits in is approximately 0.75 inch. The diameter of the bolt going through the bearing and both plates is 0.375 inch. The threads on the shank of the bearing are, I am guessing, 0.875 as the inner diameter of the 1.00 inch tubing with 0.83 wall thickness is 0.834 inch. Let me know if I need t measure anything else. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469313#469313 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:57 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: DIe Spring gear From: "jarheadpilot82" Look at the pictures below and these measurements, hopefully, will make sense - The die spring "can" is made of 2.25 inch diameter tubing. The die spring rod is 1" in diameter. The various metal plates are 0.125 thick The diagonal tubing above the plate in the center top of the gear is 0.75 in diamter. The streamlne tubing between these two tubes is approximately 1.5 inches in depth. The gear legs - the front tubes are 1.25 in diameter, and the rear tubes are 1.125 in diameter. The bolt at the top of gear legs is, I believe an AN4, and the bolt down by the axle is an AN6 I hope that all this is useful. Oh, and the aircraft attitude is about 12. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469315#469315 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/die_spring_gear_1_119.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/die_spring_gear_2_337.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/die_spring_gear_3_228.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
