Ken;I forgot to post my ASI range numbers. I took a look at the airspeed indicatorand here are the range markings on Scout: green arc, Vs to Vno, is from 32 to80 MPH. Yellow arc, Vno to Vne, is from 80 to 96 MPH.As you know, my airplane has an A75 and performs quite conventionally.Off-topic, are you anywhere near the Denver airport? We changed planes there twoweeks ago and forgot my wife's MacBook Pro in the United terminal at one ofthe gates. We put in a lost & found claim but it's been right at two weeks andnothing has shown up. However, we used "Find My Mac" on iCloud and it showsthat the computer has not been opened or logged in to the internet since wemisplaced it, so it's probably sitting on a shelf somewhere in the United lost& found. It is set to lock and then to show a message on the screen offeringa reward for its return (we just want the pictures back, not necessarily thecomputer)- but nothing has been touched so we're still in hopes that it's sittingthere. We've changed all the necessary passwords and accounts... nothing isamiss in two weeks. I have found out by calling every conceivable phone numberfor United customer service, our United Club concierge, and the Denver airportthat the only way I can speak directly to someone with United at Denver isto physically go there. If anybody is near there who might be able to help,there is a reward for its return and it's more than just the price of a burgerand a tank of gas.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 18:19:50 -0600Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol CorVenture

Ken;What joy! That thing looks to be running silky-smooth in the videos! The soundis of a very smooth, very even, happy engine. Apparently your Swiss silencersare quite effective as well.Looking forward to reports on taxi testing, which from all appearances should bequite soon.

Below are links to a couple short videos of the initial engine starts of my Corvair powered Pietenpol. It was a beautiful day yeserday in northern Colorado, made even better by the sounds of six cylinders working in harmony. Some of you will recognize Rick Holland in the videos checking for leaks. None were found. The engine stayed dry as a bone.

Hello good Piet-ple,A quick update to share some progress on my project. My welder (Mike from ReadyWeld) stopped by a couple times last week to apply some talent to the cabainestruts and center-section fittings. I have run the W&B numbers and decided toweld the cabaine struts in the 90 degree vertical position. I will fine tunethe weight and balance in ways other than adjusting the struts. In this way, thecabaine struts are SOLID structure for the "I hope it never happens" puttingit on her back situation..... but if it does happen I want a rigid structureto protect me and my pax.Hope all if you are enjoying fall - or what WE Pietenpol folks describe as "planebuilding season." (The summer has way too many distractions!)Regards,JakeP.S. I built my center-section 42" wide so I can carry more gas in the overhead.This should eliminate the need for a second, header tank.--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/caba ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Steel-tube fuselage update - Cabaine struts...
