Poor old Gar doesn't seem to realize that in today's market nobody wants a Pietenpolunless it has at least some GN-1 mods. An even bigger turn-off is it's model"A" engine with the radiator that completely obstructs all forward vision.I'll bet he doesn't even have wind tunnel data for the airfoil or an operator'smanual. Old time glue, solid spars, no center-section cut-out, probably builtstrictly to-the-plans. Nobody with any level of sophistication at all wouldeven look twice at that thing.Poor old Gar.Larry________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: 4130 QuestionTried to order some 22 gauge (.030) 4130 to make my rudder/elevator/aileron horns today and can't find any (checked AS, Wicks and Shapio). Thinest I can find is .040. Has anyone tried making these horns out of this thicker material?Can anyone suggest alternatives? Bernie didn't use 4130 in the early days did he?They also said that normalized 4130 is impossible to find, and most is all anealed. Does this make a difference to us Piet builders?Rick Holland________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol airfoil analysisDate: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 09:22:21 -0500

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: propeller for A65If I needed a wooden propeller, I "wood" check with Tennessee Propellers. Some time ago, I got an unbelievable deal from them on a custom made prop thatwas not quite (but almost) as large as the one you're thinking about.
