Darn, that is what I was afraid of... the pain in the butt part. Maybe some kindof jig can be devised to hold the thimble and cable while the nicopress sleeveis installed? Either way, I want to use the right stuff. Thanks for theinfo Jack.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I agree, you don't need a drill press yet. I'm not sure if you have a disk/beltsander... if not, you WILL like to have one of those.

I have always thought there should be some not too heavy method to mount a heavymain bearing with a short stub shaft at the rear of a more modern engine- eitherV-6 to keep it shorter or a straight 4 or 6. I'm just not machinist enoughto play with it and my vair is working OK. but surely a newer six would notweigh more than an A and be much more user friendly. granted they would need higherRPM to develop decent power but getting up in the upper 2000's they'd bepretty strong and in my mind the extra 2 power pulses of the 6 have to give alittle smoother performance because they overlap where a 4 at best has to havepauses between the pulses and that has to create more fatigue strain on thecrank as well as the structure it's sitting on. if WW is on here I'm sure he'llcorrect my mistakes but being a ford guy at heart I sure would like to see somethinglike that flying. that old 300 6 is one good tough old engine and anenormous amount of them available. The length would be some issue I'm sure.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Test

I had sent a prior email about my Piet which appears to not have gone through. I will re-send it.Just to fill you in. I have flown the Piet from the front with Leigh Smith guiding me from the rear. Last Monday I started flying from the rear with Leigh in the front. Yesterday I started flying it by myself. The plane performs flawlessly as does the engine. I probably have 6+ flight hours now without a hiccup. The engine purrs along with amazing power. My empty weight was 750 pounds. With Leigh Smith at 216, me at 176 and 72 # of fuel (12 gal) we were at 1,214 # gross. Pretty hefty for a Piet. I had arbitrarly set my gross at 1200#. It just that it worked out to be 1200# with me plus normal fuel and a 200# passenger. I thought I neverwould get a passenger more than 200 in the front.....Wrong! Even on an 80 deg. day we climed out at 400 ft/min at 60 mph at over gross.Hope all is well with you and Dee.I will get the minutes to you soon. As usual Dave Boast ran the meeting and as usual it was a joke. About all that can be said is we had a meeting, 15 people showed up. I gave a treasurer's report and thats it.Regards,Rick________________________________________________________________________________

The list has been slow lately and I haven't posted much for a while so I thought I would report in.After getting my taiwheel endorsement, I was able to start flying NX48RS. I had the Piet ferried from my home airport - Porter Co. Regional (VPZ) with lots of traffic and long hard surface runways, to Starke Co. (OXI) with little traffic and both grass and hard surface. I have been flying mostly off the grass and having lots of fun. I have a number of hours on the Piet and a few dozen landings. So far all is good with the engine and the plane.For those that don't know or remember here are the specs on the engine and plane. * I have a standard 2700 cc Corvair engine for power * 68" x 34 pitch cloudcars prop (same prop that Kevin Purtee uses)|| * 18 gal nose tank * Straight axle Jenny style gear * empty weight a hefty 758 #Here are some performance specs.... * WOT on climb out 2675 rpm * climb out speed 60 mph * 700 ft / min on climb out with OAT at 71 deg. I weigh 175# but my instructor also flew 478RS and saw the same climb rate, he weighs 216#. Kevin reported the same climb with his corvair powered piet. * WOT max rpm in level flight 2800 rpm which yields 85-90 mph (maybe even 95) * 2700 rpm = about 75 mph * 2400 rpm = around 70 mph ( I think) * fuel burn 5 gph, using 100LL avgashot oil pressure at cruise is about 40#. Initially the oil temperature was steady at about 190 degrees, but has now dropped to 180. This is probably due to the engine starting to break in.Yesterday I managed to get in a little sightseeing rather than just landing practice. Got the Piet up to 2500 AGL to see how it would feel. No issues with feeling frail in such a craft, though I admit its more fun to fly down low. So far I am really happy with the Piet and the engine. I plan on flying again this afternoon and tomorrow and the next day.........No surprises in flying other than the amount of left rudder needed to counter P factor on takeoff. Once the throttle is reduced to cruise, the rudder is pretty much neutral. I *did not* offset the vertical stab. I do have to hold some constant back pressure on the stick. I have checked the elevators and the horizontal stab and all is good. I may just use a bungee to put in the required back pressure, either on the stick itself or on the walking beam.Rick SchreiberNX478RSPorter Co.
