Original Posted By: Ben Charvet
Hi Folks..My GN-1 stalls around 43-45mph w/just me in it. 50mph at gross wt. I did the boxpattern w/gps at stall and cruise, checking accuracy of my a/s indicator andI've determined that it is very accurate. GN-1 spec's when googled, show a 35mphstall for a GN-1. The gps readings average 2-3 mph faster than indicated,but I figure the speeds will true out a few mph higher than the indicator at 2-3000'.Could this be a rigging issue? Perhaps the trailing edge of wings couldbe lowered slightly? What are you folks indicating at the stall break?In anycase, I'm ok w/it as is (accustomed to it). I've been flying it a coupleof yrs now. I put a tape marker at 1.3x stall so as not to get below it whileon approach. It handles gusty conditions very well...about like a Pitts.Other numbers (indicated) as follows: Full Throttle cruise 83-85mphCruise 2100rpm 73-75mphA65-8/W72CK-42--------L.Metzel KLNCA65-8N2308CAN HardwareAirframe 712TTW72CK-42 SensenichStandard Factory GN-1Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:32:54 -0400

Since my airplane is not a GN-1, I'll withhold comment. However, my friend RaymondHanover flies his Corvair GN-1 in windy and gusty conditions in the Texaspanhandle. Perhaps he'll weigh in (although he is currently out of town on travelwith family).--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:44:47 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: stall speed

Oscar,You're so right in all the positive things said about Pietenpols over the years. Your post made me think of how enjoyable the Pietenol is to fly and what an honest and goodflying airplane it is. Even when I take my flight review in a Cub or get to fly another taildragger I think about how I like the Pietenpol better. Those other airplanes are wonderfultoo, no doubt but I am always impressed by how nicely this little thing flies, lands, stalls, turns, and handles. On a smooth evening before sunset or at sunrise when the windsare calm it just is like silky smooth and fingertip control. Bernard (or Bernie for those of you who don't like people calling him Bernie:) knew what he was doing!Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:22:01 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: just right--- 85 years running

I did a runup yesterday and had a 250 rpm drop on my left mag, so I brought herback to the hangar. After some plug cleaning/re-arranging, it seems fine. I tookher up today and video (iphoned) some speed checks, power settings. and acouple of power off stalls.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-15caBJh ... -8N2308CAN HardwareAirframe 724TTW72CK-42 SensenichStandard Factory GN-1Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
