Pietenpol-List: Landing gear pads

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Oscar Zuniga
Dan,Many years ago I was working on a project that included horse barns andstalls. A guy was installing rubber matting in the stalls and had quite afew scraps that he gave me. Some of the 'scraps' were 3' square, big enoughto use as floor padding in my shop; others were considerably smaller. Youcan see in the attachments that this stuff is about 1/2" thick and verytough. Free for me is free for you, if you're interested. I haven't figured out anelegant way of finishing it, but I'm sure you can. Let me know if you areinterested.BTW.3-4' off the ground counts as a TO, doesn't it? Gary Boothe Cool, Ca. Pietenpol WW Corvair Conversion, mounted Tail done, Fuselage on gear (19 ribs down.) ________________________________________________________________________________

Ken;I have a Culver 72x36 on my A75 Air Camper. I'll try toget some actual performance numbers on it one of thesedays and will post them here.My tach reads high by varying amounts (higher as the RPMgoes up) so I need to check it with the PropTach againand get a correction table so I won't throw out bad numbershere.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________
