Pietenpol-List: Prop-carving CD, The All-Power Tool Method

Hello Good People,I was just informed, by one of the more distinguished members of our group, that ACS is out-of-stock of this highly-popular informative essay. Can't imagine why, but FYI this book can now be down-loaded as an e-book from Aircraft Technical Book Co. http://www.actechbooks.com/products/act615/Good project for the upcoming winter months. :O)Dan HelsperPuryear, TN________________________________________________________________________________

Jeff,Thank you for the kind words. I myself was amazed at being able to do something that I always considered as a "black art", but after having observed Jerry Thornhill at OSH , and having done it myself, I thought that this simple set of instructions should be written down and passed on to others. To my knowledge this type of instruction does not exist in this basic form anywhere else. I can't wait to see how your 42" pitch prop performs. It would be great if you did a thrust test with the "Piet List-Industrial Fish Scale". Then we all would have some hard data to compare.Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----

Pietenpol-List: Push pull set-up
Original Posted By: "Gboothe5"
Ken;What I have done many times when I needed to figure outgeometries is to get some cardboard, push pins, twine, sticks,and similar materials and just mock up the assembly in 2-D to see ifit works. You make the cutouts full-size and then just tackthem flat to your work table and see how they work.I'll bet that in 15-20 minutes youcould make up your bellcrank, control stick, and pushrodassembly out of stuff you have laying around and then seewhat kind of elevator travel you get with the availablefore-and-aft stick travel. Just put a couple of push pinsin the table as "control stops" to limit the stick travel,then see what kind of up and down arc you get from the "elevators"... which can be made out of anything.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"Flying Squirrel N2069Z "Rocket"Medford, ORwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________
