Pietenpol-List: Fuel tank
Original Posted By: Gary Gower
Has anyone installed a fuselage tank instead of the wing tanks? I'm planning to use a Continental engine and I've read that you don't need the forward tray if your going this route. Are there plans for building a fuselage tank or is it an off-the-shelf item? How should it be installed inside the fuselage? I've also read that you want to make the engine mount brackets slightly longer to account for a fire cloth and sheet metal face, but how much longer should it be? Lastly, can anyone give me some more info. on the type of fire cloth to use and the gauge of the sheet metal face?Thank youJacob ________________________________________________________________________________

Gary Leopold:: I thought you could drive over after work, but It isabout 400 miles.(W. KS) I pulled my tank halves from molds yesterday.Came out better than I thought. Some pin holes and imperfections toclean up. My molds took a beating, But that was my fault. Tank is VERYlight. Measured at side wall, 4 layers are about 1/8 in thick. GaryPrice shows no baffels, but I am going to add a couple to the top to getsome stiffness at fille neck area and one across the bottom. Bengalissays a tank over 5 gal, should have baffles any way.

William, I was looking at mine the other night, and I think I'm going to use pulleys under the seat for the rudder cables too, that's a pretty big change of direction for a fairlead seems to me like. I think most fairlead material is a phenolic material. But I don't know why some sort of plastic wouldn't work and even be better. Wicks or ACS has it.Is your elevator cable still hitting the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer with the stick centered? There's no way to prevent this on the ground, but with the elevator in the flying position, it should be plenty clear. Those rub pads are just for when the plane is sitting on the ground. You might engineer some sort of control lock to hold the stick more or less centered while the plane is parked. No torque tube knowledge yet. But soon!Gary Meadows________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 09:46:29 -0600

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Fabric attachment for Pietenpol wings?Gus,Yes, wings should always have some means of fabric attachment along the ribs. If you have aluminum ribs, you can use screws (a-la-Aeronca Champ). Ifyou have wood ribs, you need to use rib stitching. Even at these slow speeds,a little corner of fabric coming loose from the glue could start "flagging" and result in disaster so fast it would make your head spin. I think this iswhat happened to Steve Whittman if I am not mistaken in his "O and O" airplane where he met an untimely and very unfortunate demise.

Original Posted By: helspersew(at)aol.com
Good people,After 6 solid days of work, I have finally finished the fabrication of my new tank, and am ready to weld. I learned a lot along the way about flow-forming aluminum. As you can see by the photos, there is a huge resultant difference between using a steel as opposed to a plastic insert in the rivet gun. The forming surface underneath is 3/4" thick MFD board (Lowe's) routed-out to form whatever beads or troughs you happened to need. I bought that flow-forming (rivet gun) tool from tinmantech.com, with the white plastic insert. The plastic insert that comes with it is flat. I bought additional insert material from Mcmastercarr.com (1-1/4" diameter UHMW rod) and formed it with my small lathe and band saw. I would be happy to answer any questions, but I may not get back to you till tomorrow. Hope this helps somebody.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuel tank

The flanged holes were formed using the MFD board also. Cut a hole in the MFD board then use a round-over router bit to taper the inside of the hole. Cut the hole in the aluminum about 1/2" smaller. Then force a "plug" down into the aluminum to form the flange. I just happened to have some tapered cast iron grommet-setting dies that worked nicely, but the plugs can be formed with the MFD board also.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Any thoughts on this idea for turnbuckles
