I was just reading Mike's Trucker Del post and realized that a lot of people reallydo travel the Ohio turnpike frequently. So I thought I'd give an invitation.I live about 10 minutes or so south of the "east-most" Ohio Turnpike exit.I keep my plane about three miles from my house. If anyone is ever travelingthe turnpike and would like to stop and talk Piets, just let me know.Don Emch NX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Propeller duplicator
Pietenpol-List: Propeller duplicator
Original Posted By: "Oscar Zuniga"
Some of the talk about props over the last couple of months has stirred my interestin propeller carving. I'm not really sure I would want to tackle somethinglike this, but I have thought about playing around with it. I know there aresome guys on here, Chuck G. and Greg C. and there may be more, that have carvedtheir own props. Where did you find your prop duplicator plans? I keeplooking online and can't seem to find anything. I'm still amazed that guys likeEd Sterba are still out there that carve each prop individually by hand! Iwish I had that talent!Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Plans for the prop duplicator were obtained from Gary McGill. He used to advertise in the back of Sport Aviation. Not sure if he is still around.I also have to add that it is Dale Johnson who is responsible for the prop work on NX18235.See attached picture.Greg C.----- Original Message -----

I built two props for the Model A, and one for the Continental A65. I've re-worked the prop for the A65 two times, to geta little more RPM, and now have about 300 hours on that one. I used the book by Eric Clutton, 'Propeller Making for the Amateur' - available through the EAA. I still plan on building a Scimitar Prop for the Piet, using most of hismethods. I corresponded with him quite a bit (via e-mail) on the Scimitar, andI find it a very interesting design.Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 02:29:24 -0800 (PST)

I have a prop for the Corvair/Piet but it isn't 64x33... it's a 62x34. Picture of it at http://www.flysquirrel.net/corvair/corvair.htmlIt's in the original Tennessee Props shipping crate and could be shipped out if you pay shipping and promise to take care of it. Or forget the shipping and send me back a hand-carved duplicate prop along with my original ;o)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Turn searches into helpful donations.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Propeller duplicatorDon. I have a duplicator that I built that you can use. I have carved three. The first two for practice and the third came out pretty good. It hasa 8 foot bed . I have not used the prop as I think my weight and balance will require more, weight up front. The problem is that I am in eastern Iowaabout 10 miles north of I 80 just above Davenport near Long Grove. Ken Conrad in snowie Iowa and cold. The plans are from a guy in Michigan that wascarving fish profiles.________________________________________________________________________________
