Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead PicturesI have posted my Brodhead pictures on my website;http://www.builddiary.net/logs/21I missed a couple airplanes, but I did take a 360 degree Panorama onFriday which is pretty cool.Someone asked for my pictures of the world's largest Sitka Sprucewhich is here in Oregon, I will have those up soon as well.Oh, and strangely enough, I am 34 as well. Apparently most PietBuilders are either 55, or 34.-- David CaseDav3xor(at)gmail.comwww.builddiary.net________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead PicturesPieters,Here I am butting in on your conversations again. I am pleased to see some discussions begin on the subject of Piet technics. Granted, the Piet is a welldesigned machine and has weathered the years and hardly anyone has received harm. But can it be improved without changing it's basic designs?After completing and flying 41CC I felt that it's flying characterics could be greatly improved, especially the float after round out. Many said it was because of high drag that caused the falling brick sensation. The Cub and 7AC both have a nice float, are heavier and posses abundant drag AND with 65 HP. As I was building 311CC I strongly considered the Cub airfoil as well as the 7AC and the Clark Y. I feel now they are superior to the BHP French 10.If I were to build again it would definitely be with a different airfoil. That Piet airfoil is in my opinion the weakest link of the Piet chain design.Two-bits worth on this beautiful Southern afternoon.I'll be waiting your bombardments with my old steel helmet.CMC________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead PicturesDurn Corky - you're gonna get the purists all activated!I think there's much that could be improved on the Pietenpol as well,but it would change its flight characteristics. It would probably be abetter airplane, but one of the things that is delightful about the Pietis that it doesn't fly like a more modern airplane. The J-3 Cub wasdeveloped almost a decade after the initial Pietenpol design (and evenafter the so-called "Cub" gear on the Improved Pietenpol). The J-3weighs only slightly more than a Piet (less than mine), has the samepower and 30 sq. ft more wing area. It also has much less drag sincemost of the bracing is internal, and the control cables are too (for themost part). The Aeronca Champ is nearly 10 years more modern than theCub (the Champ first appeared in 1945), so again it should be expectedto fly more like a modern airplane, becasue it IS a more modern airplane(it is in fact just an underpowered Citabria).When I got back from my honeymoon and wanted to go flying for the firsttime in almost 3 weeks, I didn't pull my RV-4 out of the hangar.Instead I climbed into the Pietenpol. I flew it down to Sanford, NCwhere a bunch of friends were sitting around "hangar flying". One ofthem (who built and flies an RV-8) asked why I wasn't flying my "real"airplane. I just snorted and said "I wanted to fly something thatpresented some kind of challenge. Flying the RV-4 doesn't prove that Ican still fly."Jack PhillipsSweating in 100 degrees in Raleigh today-----Original Message-----[mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf OfIsablcorky(at)aol.comSent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 2:24 PMPieters,Here I am butting in on your conversations again.
