Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 with a VW engineHere's a Grega GN-1 with a VW engine. The poster lists himself as being from Brazil.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd0OtA9D ... ure=plcpIf you follow what the Airdrome WWI airplane builders are using you'll notice theyare using reduction drive units (as others have mentioned) but all of the planes they flyare single-seaters.My guess is that you could in fact fly a Pietenpol with a VW engine with a reduction drive butit will most likely be a single seat airplane. Also you'd better build it extremely light:) !http://www.airdromeaeroplanes.com/torqu ... ngine.html[cid:image001.jpg(at)01CDCBE3.CDE516D0]________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: center section question

Glue alone will hold it fine. The under side has high pressure, so no aerodynamicforces pulling it away which only leaves the shrink of the fabric pullingit loose, and there's no reason to put full shrink on it.Also, it's not a matter of only having ribs to glue the fabric to, but the entiresurface which gives tons of area for hold.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: center section question

You can keep a nice neat and uniform appearance if you run a capstrip in the locationwhere a rib would be and glue it to the underside of the plywood. It addsa little stiffness to the plywood too. Then drill small holes in the plywoodand stitch the fabric to the capstrip/plywood. Keeps it very neat and uniformand I always like the idea of stitching rather than glueing, even if it ison the underside. That's how I did mine... but again, there are many "correct"methods out there.

I give quite a few rides and one thing I've been doing lately is holding a cameraout to the side and snapping a picture of the passenger. Been getting prettygood at my aim. They seem to really like the pictures and want to have a copyof it. I thought I might try to step it up a little and try to mount a videocamera out on the strut. Does anybody know what a decent, small, and inexpensivevideo camera might be to recommend?Thanks!Don EmchNX899DEP.S. Attached is a shot of my son from our "barnstorming trip" this summer anda shot of my son's teacher later in the summer.... umm, I think he liked his ride.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/ryan ... ______Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:48:31 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Kind of OT camera question

Mr. Bacon mentioned the GoPro. This is from Brodhead giving Ben Markle a ride:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YjSybZNfS4It took all of 30 seconds to mount the camera on the jury strut and it was ready to go. With a little more thought and creativity with mounting locations and a little editing a person could make some decent ride videos.The newest version of the GoPro looks REALLY nice.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----
