Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wood nose cowl discHi Gang,I am getting nearer to the finish line. I am currently building my cowlings. I have a question for those guys that have used the Ford A engine. On the last page of my Hoopman plans (3/20/34), it shows a pine disc to help form thenose cowl to the engine cowl. It says "disc to join cowling and cone bolted to engine while building cowling, remove bolts before attaching cone". Does this pine disc stay with the airplane as an integral part, or does it get discarded after the cowling is all formed and put together? I think it stays,but the more I think about it, maybe not. Please help. Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.**************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

As a rule, isn't the cowl supposed to be independent of the engine? This is becausethe engine typically is subject to large vibrations - mostly at start-up.I would not fasten the cowl to the engine. Just use the wooden disc to positionand build the cowl, then remove it when the cowling is done.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:25:46 -0500

Smashing idea!There are a handful of Piet owners in our neck of the woods, which is in the generalvicinity of Toronto, Ontario. While I and my Piet partner have yet to haveours in our back yard (p/u in April) we do spend our spare time tinkering withairplanes in a small museum of which we are working members:www.classicaircraft.ca If the weather's decent, you never know what could happen.And there are other things to see and do aviation related oot and aboot this generalarea. We'd be delighted to hang out with any Piet or non-Piet travellersfrom this list!Mike--------Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
