2 cents -- Raising the wing farther above the thrust line should make it pitch more with power changes.- It would also act as if more dihedral was added.

I think beer is what started this venture of new words. It must be five o'clocksomewhere. : ) Try: Pieted, Similar to Tweeted but understood only by a select group with somewhatquestionable sanity. When Pieted topics are discussed in front of othernonbelievers it may cause them to appear distracted with glazed over eyes. Mostnotably, spouses but the same effect can be rendered upon even complete strangers.

Well folks, yesterday was a milestone in my Pietenpol building saga. I finallyhave moved the plane from home out to a heated hanger at the airport. I have acople of spots to finish varnishing on the fuselage then I will hang the engineand attach the wings. I have enclosed a couple of shots my Wife took of themoving process.We used a friends covered trailer for the move so it wound up being as easy process.Rick SchreiberValparaiso, IN________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:29:31 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: coining new words

James, I think Gardiner was referring to the pile of Pietenpols that existed after the tornado at Sun 'n' Fun this spring. But your post is very true. I haven"t flown in a Piet for 4 hours -- yet. But it would certainly help to have a nice soft cushion!!!! ----- Original Message -----

Hmmm, Bob... that's odd.I had a hard time finding Greg's question, other than your response to it. Finally,I found it in a different thread, posted three weeks ago. It appears thatimmediately after the question was asked, it was answered (quite succinctly).Having said that, I wouldn't necessarily say the question was "a load of crap".It was a simple question asking whether the delivery times have improved. Inthe past, some people had voiced concerns about extended delivery times for somecomponents. You say that yours was delivered in 60 days, and that is withinthe the amount of time listed on William's website for that item.It sounds as though (based on your experience) delivery times are not an issue.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

All,I attended a recent EAA webinar on test flying your homebuilt, it was verygood. You can view a recording on the EAA site. Johnny White was thepresenter and he sent me the following regarding breaking in a rebuiltengine. I'm not a mechanic but it could be some useful info for those inneed.Hi JackThanks for the comments and I am glad you enjoyed it. It is best to run inwith a Test Club prop in a cell but many an engine has been run in on theground and can be done with some reasonable precautions. Rent a Test Propif you can or a fine pitched prop so Rpm will come up to about 2200 static,into a good breeze, keep them short, Run long enough to get oil temp upabove 180 if it will.Three 15 to 20 minute runs are sufficient. Check the Oil Screen / filter anddrain just a little oil from the sump (Quick Drain installed) after thethird run and it has had time to drain down any particles that will settleto the bottom of the sump to check for metal. Check the lower plugs forcontamination and condition of burn. Have a CHT gauge or use a Pyro meter tocheck for the hot cylinder and just don't let them get over 375 degrees.Fuel starvation is still the killer and the big risk.In the air run it at 75% for 45 minutes at a time and cool very slowly withsmall, slow throttle movements. "Step" down your power slowly and smoothly.Power on descents from cruise altitude are a must. Leave power up and letspeed build and cool the engine gradually.Good luck with you venture and let me know how it goes or if you need anyhelp I will be here.Thanks again.

Congratulations on the move. Your plane looks great. One thing did strike meas being quite funny. It is when I look at your fuse pic. All I see in thatphoto is a strange landing gear configuration. Do you think all three of youcan run fast enough to get it airborn?
