RE: Pietenpol-List: Short or long nose Piet

Matt,I agree with you on the appearance of the long-nose Piet. The worst thatcan happen with the short nose is that you need to add lead to make up theweight difference between the Continental and the Model A engines. You'llstill have more power than with the Ford. I intend to put part of that leadin my battery (I have a c-75), and I have an _old_ generator that willcertainly make up another large chunk of the ballast needed. You need tomake the decision that you aren't trying to have the lightest plane around,and recognize that the ballast comes right off the payload.Gene HubbardReady to hang the engine and find out just how much ballast I need in SanDiego.-----Original Message-----

Hi Matt,I'm building the Flying and glider manual fuselage which is about 2" shorterthan the "short"fuse, and I plan to use a Corvair for power. The plan is to not worry aboutweight on the engine, starter, battery etc., at the same time do everythingI can to make it as light as possible aft of CG.I will do the engine mount almost last and adjust the length accordingly,than make the cowl and at the final W&B maybe move the wing back if needed.Don't know if the Continental is lighter than the Corvair.SkipI'm sure this question has been asked before, but...I really think the"Long" nose distracts from the classic lines of the Piet. I plan to use aContinental 65 or 85 in my Piet. Can I build the "short Nose" with theContinental. What must I do to make the C.G. work. Is ballast an option.One last question, Can J-3 cowling be used on the Piet. It sure is a classiclook, and would save a lot of sheet metal work....Matt________________________________________________________________________________

A Corvair should come in a bit over 200lbs. I believe a C-85 is about10-20 lbs lighter.I'm doing the same with my Corvair powered GN-1. I'm saving the enginemount to about last and will make the mount as long as it needs tobalance out.DJ ----- Original Message -----

The one polyurethane glue that might be considered is Structan --www.excelglue.com -- product is actually listed for light aircraft -- itdoes require 150-200 psi clamping pressure (I tried gluing some dowel pegsinto a board & having the foaming action pop the dowels out if you didn'tput a brick on each one!! ;-)Only come in a cartridge -- you can get a sample from Sammy Mayeux if yougive him a call -- Corky, he hails from Cottonport, LAMike C.Pretty Prairie, KS----- Original Message -----

Dick, the adapter nut in the EBAY ad is the right one, and you have alsofound it in the Wag Aero catalog. I'm not sure if the o-200 screen is thesame as a C-65, though. Maybe someone else on here knows for sure.Gene----- Original Message -----
