E-mail message to Tawny Castillo (AS&S)Tawny:I=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2ve attached a few photos (below) of the damage I found on the spar material we spoke about earlier today.=C2- Fortunately, this damage happened to be right about eye level when on my wing jig, otherwise it may have gone undetected.=C2- To me, this damage looked like nothing more than a scratch, but since I was uncertain, I called on several experienced builders to get their opinion.=C2- One of the individuals that looked at the damage in person is an A&P with Inspector Authorization.=C2- He inspected it closely under magnification and stated that he believes that it is indeed a crack, and that the part should not be used.=C2- Furthermore, this individual (and others) claim that the way this crack is distributed against the grain on one face and with the grain on another, that it looks reminiscent of the type of damage done from a dull plainer blade or from feeding the material too quickly.=C2- I=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2m not suggesting that this IS what happened, just that a few experienced woodworkers and air!craft builders concur on this analysis.=C2- I know that it is my responsibility to inspect and report any damage upon delivery that may have occurred during shipping, but as I stated during our conversation, the carton that contained the wood kit showed no signs of damage.=C2- In fact, it was completely in tact and packaged very well.=C2- Furthermore, even though I performed a preliminary inspection and inventory, some of this material may not be used for many months, therefore some items may not get a close inspection for some time.=C2- If this type of damage were found on a less critical part I may just attempt a repair, or replace it on my next order, but this is a critical and expensive component that I expected to be in good condition given that it is certified material.=C2- I will be paying close attention to the remaining parts.Cordially,Mark ChouinardOwasso, Oklahoma-----I included the photos I posted on the other link for her to review.=C2- I hope they are willing to assist.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 1#264171tS WEB FORUMS -on Web Site -=C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- -Matt Dralle, List Admin.=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:13:41 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tailwheels

Thanks for the suggestion KM, I'll consider that if I get much run around. Atthe moment, the customer support team seems to be making an attempt to study thesituation. I'm not in a huge hurry for this particular part, so I'll allowthem some time to maneuver. If it starts to look like they are unwilling tocorrect the situation, then I will take measures to step it up a notch. I made a comment to one of the customer support ladies today that I may have toinform Mr. Irwin of my situation if I can't get someone to take the matter seriously.About 5 minutes later I received a call back from the Customer ServiceManager. She seemed to be at least interested in reviewing the photos andsuch, so I'll give a bit more time.

Just a short to keep any interested parties posted...I called to speak to Tawny today, but she was out for the day. I did get to speakto Brenda, who was very nice. She wasn't familiar with the whole story, butin just a few seconds she pulled up some notes and seemed to be concerned aboutmy situation. She wasn't sure what she could do on the matter because itseemed (according to the notes) that Tawny and the production manager were lookinginto things. Supposedly Tawny had attempted to forward the photos to theproduction manager, but he replied (after she had left for the day), statingthat he did not receive the photos. Not a huge snag, but since I sent the photosat 9am (CA time), nothing at all had been done to look into my situation.At this point, I made reference to Mr. Irwin being copied on future correspondencedue to the lack of communication on their end. Brenda (who was pleasantand concerned during the entire conversation) said she was going to speak toher manager and someone would get back to me.5 minutes later my phone rang... it was Carolyn, the Customer Service Manager.She too seemed concerned about the situation. She was going to have someoneget on Tawny's computer and forward the photos to the other parties involved.... ... ... Breaking ... ... ... Update ... ... ...As I was typing this, I received a call from Tawny. I guess she came in to theoffice this afternoon. She asked, "is someone taking care of the situation foryou?" and I said, "well, I'm not sure yet, but I did get a call from Carolyna little while ago." She said, "yeah, I came in and several people said (toher) "hey, everyone was looking for you" so I was wondering who all you mayhave talked to." She described it as quite a scuttlebutt. I said, "that's awesome!"She said, "ok, well, I'll get with Joe (I think she said Joe...

At the risk of having a hex put on me I'm going to put in my .02. Why does it have to be full castoring? by having it direct steered you have much more authority in a xwind. Most airplanes with the wheel on the wrong end don't swivel. With only a few lbs on the tailwheel wouldn't it be easy to just pick it up if you need to park in a tight place. The Sonex (Go ahead hit me...or hex me) has direct steering and with a few hundred flying I'd say it works. (John Monnett doesn't believe in differential braking.) Also I've seen a couple of pictures of tailwheels steered with a linkage to the rudder. According to Don pietenpol this is a no no. Puts too much strees on the rudder spar. I would agree. It should be linked directly to the rudder bar.OK=2C you can put a hex on me me now. I'm done. Just kidding.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: castoring vs. steerableI had some very dangerous moments with my "Homebuilder's Special" tailwheel that I bought from Wicks or ACSas it came out of steerable mode way too easy.I nearly ground looped the airplane twice and lest I poured the coals to it and went around the plane would have beena total wreck before having 3 hours on it.I took the tailwheel apart and Dremel-tooled out the detent where the cam type affair makes it go from steerable tofull swivel. If I need to push the plane backwards I simply grab the tail spring and lift up, pull where I want it. Very lightback there.Most Scott's and Maule's work okay and don't suddenly go into full swivel just as you touch down but if you jab the rudderhard and you come out of detent-lookout. Add power to get your rudder wind going and go around. Scary stuff if it comesout of full swivel too easily.There is a spring loaded pin that pops into a detent in the shaft. After a certain amount of side pressure the pin lets go and the wheel will swivel a full 360 degrees. I'm still in the pre-flying stage so can't tell you how well it works in practice but I know that Ken has one on his own Piet.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: How will the vendor do?

One other thing to consider if you don't have cables runto your tailwheel and the tail is already covered is thatyou can go the GN-1 route and link the tailwheel steeringto the rudder itself, not to the rudder cables. Therudder needs to be stiffened but it may be easier for someto do it that way than to run a new set of tailwheel steering cables up to the rudder bar.See the last couple of pix athttp://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/piets4.htmlfor how it's done on the GN-1.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: More cables and turnbuckles
