Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;As promised, I have had some brass data plates made up and have them available for sale. They are a direct knock-off of the aluminum ones offered earlier (through the BPA or Frank Pavliga, I'm not sure which), except that I changed the wording from "The Original Model 'A' Powered Lightplane" to "Low and Slow Since 1929". There are quite a few Piets using engines other than the Ford, so I thought the new wording might be of interest to a wider audience. You can see a picture and get ordering information at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/dataplate.html and they are $10 postpaid to anyone in the known universe. I'm doing this for fun, not for profit, so if you're located on Johnston Atoll or someplace remote, cut me some slack and we'll discuss postage!I had them made up on rectangular blanks to keep the cost down and to make it easier to hold the plate in alignment while you do your engraving/embossing/stamping of the data on it, but upon request I will trim them to their final oval shape and punch the mounting holes for you prior to shipping. An ulterior motive for leaving the plates rectangular is that you can practice your engraving on the corners which get trimmed off later ;o)My thanks to Doc Mosher for providing me with an example of the aluminum data plate and to Mike Cuy for his help with AvGrafix. Both you gentlemen will receive complimentary data plates with my regards. I am also offering free data plates to anyone who gives me a ride in their Piet!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 13:58:29 -0400

Howdy, folks;As I mentioned in an earlier post, the brass data plates that I have for sale are NOT intended to provide compliance with the FARs... they are strictly for looks and are to be installed in a conspicuous location such as the front cockpit.There is a nice photo of a completed, punched data plate on the AV/Grafix website, at http://www.avgrafix.com/images/peitplac.jpg (and yes, Dennis misspelled "Piet" there). Complete info on ordering and availability is on my website, at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/dataplate.htmlStill only $10 and I have plenty available. Email me directly... not to the list.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Oscar, Are the data plates specific to the AirCamper, or Pietenpols in general? CouldI use it for my SkyScout?Thanks,Ray KrauseSent from my iPad> On Apr 23, 2015, at 9:04 PM, taildrags wrote:> > > Dan;> > I decided to follow your lead and inspect/replace the water hose fittings onScout as well.

Do you happen to know? ;o)> > In other news, I just had an email from a builder by the name of Robert Caldwellup near Longview, Texas who says he's nearing completion of his Air Camper,NX929RC. He was asking if I still had the brass data plates for sale (I do).It's good to hear that another Piet will soon be taking flight, and it's alsoa reminder that only a fraction of the builders out there are on this listor maybe they are, but they are inactive or just lurk here. A nice, healthy populationof low 'n' slow experimenters continues to keep the tin-benders andfast glass in check.> > --------> Oscar Zuniga> Medford, OR> Air Camper NX41CC "Scout"> A75 power> > > > > Read this topic online here:> > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 209#441209> > > > > > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: data plates

Ray;The data plates that I sell, like the ones that Brian Amato sells, are pretty generically Pietenpol, unless one is a real nit-picker. You can see both mine (brass) and Brian's (aluminum), along with ordering information, here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/dataplate.html . The smaller plates that I sell are distinctively Air Camper, but I don't think they would be out of place on a Sky Scout.Here's the nit-picky stuff about using these plates on a Sky Scout, and this kindof arcana is almost not even worth mentioning: my plates say "Low And SlowSince 1929", but the Sky Scout was introduced in 1932. That's OK because theplate is referring to B.H. Pietenpol Aircraft as a genre. Brian's plates say"The Original Model 'A' Powered Lightplane", but the Sky Scout was powered bythe Ford Model 'T' engine. Again, the reference is to B.H. Pietenpol Aircraftin general, not the Sky Scout in particular.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: data plates
