Ya know, I have only asked questions on here on two occasions . . .specific questions about how a particular piece is "supposed" to go on thePiet, and I have yet to get an answer to either one. We have beaten thewire wheel question to death a hundred times, as well as the weight andbalance issue (should I move the wing or lengthen the engine mount?). Aren't there any BUILDERS on here who can answer a simple question?________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tail surfacesMr. Pietenpol adjusted weight and balance by moving the wing . unlessits way out. Then I'd start looking to solve the underlying problem. There was a new Piet at Brodhead this year built by a guy named PerkinsI think. He welded his cabane braces instead of making them adjustable.Then!!! he realised he was out of trim. He solved the problem by movingthe "A" forward 7" .It looked good . took away some of that pugnosedlook that Piets have. If you go much futher forward they start lookinglike turboprops. By the way this plane was beautiful. some of the bestworkmanship I've ever seen.Gulf orange . A real prize winner.Ted________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2000 21:52:13 -0500

Anybody have a 4-qt. oil sump for an A65 that they want to sell? I'm in the market. There is one on eBay at the moment and I may bid on that one if I can't find another. The gentleman raised the starting bid on this one from $99 to $149 since yesterday, but he's had no bids on it yet.Thanks!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: tail surfacesDate: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 08:54:16 -0600
