Pietenpol-List: steel fuselage and engine weight
Original Posted By: "Jack Phillips"
It appears on the plans that the steel fuselage was designed for the Corvair. Does anyone have the weight of the Corvair. I ask because I want to put an 0200in it (at about 170 lbs) and want to know if I am going to have a problem withthe CG.Thanks all,MikePrunedale, CARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

The steel fuselage was designed about 30 years before the Corvair wasspawned. An O-200 should work just fine in it. I believe Roman Bukolt hasan O-200 in his steel fuselage Piet but I'm not certain of that.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

This has nothing to do with engine weight. Jack mentioned Roman Bukolt. If youlook at my avatar you will see a 1/4 scale Fleet Model 2 biplane. It is over 10years old and still is like new. Roman built the kit. He builds as good of akit as I have ever seen. Just wanted to give kudos to him.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Mark, I've been trying to get the post that you sent at 10:48 this morning. The link doesn't work. It keeps kicking off and I get a message to send an error report. Will you check it and see if it's the link or my computer? Tnx----- Original Message -----

Looks like an interesting program, but alas, Wisconsin PBS does not carry it, and$15 for a membership to the website to view episodes on line seems kinda steep.Oh well...--------Gary WilsonGreenville Wisconsingtche98 (at) gmail ((dot)) comPlanning PhaseRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 11:38:30 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: need help with wiring

Well I guess I missed the conflicting dates... kinda obvious now that you pointit out. The plans of the steel fuselage are titled "1937 AirCamper with 1960Corvair Engine". Now that I look at it again it appears that the wing is sweptback, I assume to correct for the CG shift with the lighter engine. Are therereally any draw backs to shifting the wing back? Does it make more senseto build the extended wood fuselage instead? Are people still having to shiftthe wing with the extended wood fuselage?Thanks,Mike Prunedale, CARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 14:44:13 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: steel fuselage and engine weight
