Pietenpol-List: newsletter

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Gary McNeel, Jr."
Pieters-I got a call from our newsletter editor in Brodhead last night about an earlierarticle I had submitted and in the course of conversation he saidthat one of the hardest things he has to do is find things to publish. Could itbe that the printed newsletters that gave most of us the impetus to keep on goingis becoming a relic? Seems to me that this web-site is good for getting instant answers but the samequestions and answers seem to cycle through regularly. I recall poring over theold BPANewsletters for some half-remembered snippet of information when Icame to a crossroad during construction. Lots of the stuff even had pictures!It's just not the same on-line even with key words and digital photos.My intent isn't to start another round of making copies of all the oldiesach thosewho aren't online and have a resource for newcomers to access so the samestuff doesn't repeat itself every 6-8 months. So here's the challenge.......if you've got enough time to sit in front of yourkeyboard and pound out the same stuff on the web year in and yearout instead of building your own Cherry Grove missile, how about using alittle of that time to submit an article to the newsletter? Make yourself immortal!!Pass along gems for those who will follow! Be a contributor!for those of you unfamiliar, here's the needed info:BPAc/o the Independent-RegisterP.O. Box 255Brodhead, WI 53520-0255(It might also be a nice gesture to add a buck or three to your annual subscription)Larryps.

Pietenpol-List: newsletter

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Douwe Blumberg"
Subject: Pietenpol-List: newsletter Thanks everyone for their congrats on my pilot's license!got it in a Cessna (sorry!) but am now working on my tailwheel endorsement in a cub.Regarding a possible newsletter, here are my thoughts. Please respond or contact me with your thoughts and if you are interested in seriously helping.I think that a "marque" of airplane or car benefits greatly from a good newsletter. It helps develop a hardcore following and allows them to communicate, learn from eachother and develops a sense of comraderie within the following. I think the Piet benefited greatly from the wonderful newsletter of the eighties and nineties. The Brodhead newsletter seems to have petered out. It was very nice, but the last few years have been very light in terms of content and interest. This seems to be the pitfall of these volunteer newsletters however. The idea sounds good, lots of people offer to help, and then the enthusiasm runs out leaving a few "doers" to slog through with their commitment. Maybe some of those guys would be willing to share their experiences.We have a wonderful offer from John Hofmann (ck out the incredible Travel Air newsletter he does!) to put one together. So I'm thinking, what if we got together a "core" group of people who have the time and energy to make a commitment to something like this, and talk about getting a newsletter together. If we only tried for three a year, this would make the workload relatively spread out, and would make them bigger, more interesting reading.We could write articles, get others to do so, track down piet owners/builders/flyers and get their stories and photos. I would be willing to participate for one. I can write, and get others to contribute and will commit to stick with it to keep the Piet alive and well.thoughts?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Pietenpol-List: newsletter

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Lee Schiek"
Subject: Pietenpol-List: newsletterOkay guys,After reading everyone's thoughts and talking to some guys individually, here is what seems clear.1. There is a need and desire for a good, informative newsletter to support the Piet community.1.5 the brodhead piet newsletter has petered out.2. For lack of conclusive evidence, it should be assumed Grant owns all the old articles3. Grant did a great job4. We should approach Grant, and the brodhead newsletter people in a respectful and appreciative way, for advice and any possible offers of help in allowing us to occasionally use some of the old material.5. we have enough skills and experience in this group to put one together.6. we should stop talking and try it.7. As I envision it, the purpose of a new Piet newsletter should be to disseminate accurate information about the Piet, and how it is built. It should address the common questions first time builders have. It should provide encouragement to builders by sharing flying stories, adventures etc. It should provide historical tidbits to help us all keep in touch with the roots of this plane. It should encourage safety. I think it would be fascinating to try tracking down every registered Piet owner and dropping them a line asking for their story, performance stats, etc. It should provide a list of Piet building resources. It should finally have many pictures and should be fairly meaty.So, here are my thoughts. For things like this, we need a "core" group of people who have the passion, the time and the desire to help by actually putting it together, writing articles, editing, soliciting articles and stories and photos from other piet owners and builders, etc.John Hofmann who does the Travelair newsletter is willing to put it together and get it mailed. I am willing to write, edit, solicit etc. I hope everyone would be willing to make submissions of any kind, but how about anyone interested in helping consistently contact me on my email.John suggested, and I agree, that we should just try putting one together and see how it goes. We have nothing to lose but a little time and some money.Douwedouweblumberg(at)earthlink.net________________________________________________________________________________

Static thrust tests are really a waste of time. As static thrust is a force andnothing is moving there is no work being done. Static thrust is generally proportionalto the diameter of the propeller. The twist effects it if there is partof the blade stalled but little of this matters until you are near climb speed.So don't bother unless you are comparing one propeller to two differentmotors and then rpm is more important anyway.Brian KenneySent from my iPad> On Feb 25, 2014, at 4:34 PM, "taildrags" wrote:> > > OK, so in another couple of weeks I'll be starting to think about having Scoutdo the thrust test with the official fish scales.

Climb is the critical time for a low powered aircraft. it should be the only timethat the aircraft should use its maximum power. If it can't reach max rpmin a climb then it will never reach max horsepower and effectively you have asmaller engine than you think. You can then argue about what climb speed? Thetemperature should be warm and the climb should not be realistically too slow.I like to think that the propeller is like a one speed transmission. You need toget it at the right ratio for the worst condition. Back to static thrust - takea tractor pull on a tree stump. In low gear you have lots of pull and in highnot so much. Same motor. In the comparison static thrust is all about thepropeller like the transmission and not the motorCheersSent from my iPad> On Feb 27, 2014, at 8:28 AM, "BYD" wrote:> > > > brian.kenney(at)live.ca wrote:>> Static thrust tests are really a waste of time.

Faring in strut, landing gear and strut attachments, and wheel pants (or spats) was most common.Doing away with round things like wires, struts and cabanes and replacing them with a blade shape has been well known to decrease drag.Basically the more blade shaped the better, to a point.It may seem like a lot to do on a draggy plane, but it would let the engine breath easier at the same speeds and could be done incrementally.

As they say, a lot depends on a lot. Our Piet originally had Cub gear with bungees. Coming back on the power in pattern, the nose really dipped over. For various reasons we replaced the bungees with springs. Coming back on the power, the plane behaves more like a Cessna. Also, the glide seems better. I'm guessing replacing bungees with springs cut drug quite a bit.Not the same plane, but our hangar neighbor covered the round-tube lift struts of his Pup with plastic airfoil-shaped covers (these used to be sold at the big fly-ins but I haven't seen them recently). Both his climb and cruise increased considerably.--Jeffrey H. Boatright, PhD, FARVOAssociate Professor of OphthalmologyEmory University School of Medicine

Great advice! I will take it to heart. I just got my plans, Tony Bingelis's books,and the 1929-1933 Flying and Glider Manuals. I've found myself fallinginto the trap of thinking about the "extras" already.Thanks again! #1 goal: just build the thing and get it in the air. Everythingafter that is only window dressing.--------Dave HillBuilding Pietenpol N899DJRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
