Subject: Pietenpol-List: Prop carving How-To CD coming soonHello all,I have been contacted by several of the subscribers to this list about making available more information concerning the "Jerry Thornhill-All Power Tool"method of prop carving. I am in the process of composing a very detailed essay describing this entire procedure, including many photos. My plan is toat some point make this available to anyone who wants it, at some nominal fee (to be determined later). I am thinking of putting all of this complete information on a CD. Right now I am asking for feedback as far as who might possibly be interested in getting one of these.

Oscar,Could you comment please on the flight characteristics of a Piet vs. a typicaltrike? I figure since your brother has one, you'd be well educated on the differences.Things I'd like to know are: how do they compare flying in turbulence, their loadcapacity, handling, landing/takeoff distances, glide ratio, etc.. I'm going to buy or build one or the other (a Piet or a trike) and intend to tailormy training around the aircraft itself. Thus, I'm not interested in learingto fly 3-axis planes if I'm going to end up with a weight-shift trike andvice-versa.PM me if you wish.Thanks,Tom--------Location: Wilson, NCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: alternative shelter/lower cost

Reading the many options and costs of hangars makes me want to interject my own opinion on the subject. Having been in the sport for thirty years I've come to notice that the guys who seem the most concerned on maintaining the appearance and structure of their aircraft at an economical balance use door-less T-hangars of some variety or other. Truly the three elements we want to avoid coming in contact with our aircraft are precipitation=2C UV and heavy wind. The secondary items (mice=2C birds=2C thieves etc) don't seem to care whether there is a door in front of your aircraft or not. The big down-side to a hermetically sealed hangar with a door (along with higher cost and possible difficulty of operation) is that it is very difficult to adequately ventilate in the summertime which can expose your pride and joy to temperatures well above ambient for many hours at a time. An airplane in an open T-Hangar remains the driest as well as coolest. Not just the cheapest solution but also the most available in the country and the easiest to build. I keep my Stinson 108 in a T-Hanger in Southern Ontario. It is tied down and chalked. I sleep well during snow and thunderstorms (even hail). I have a nose cover and pre-heater for winter ops and my annual hangar cost is $2100.00 Canadian. (one third of this cost is paid for in my reduced hull insurance). The time and expense to recover a fabric aircraft that has been exposed to the elements is equivalent to five years of hangar rent. I justify the cost because I feel my airplane will last indefinitely since it isn't exposed to the elements. Just another opinion. Keep building and flying.Scott KnowltonBurlington OntarioSlow Piet Builder pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com> Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: alternative shelthlink.net>> > When I was in Illinois=2C supply and demand had driven hangar rents to be quite expensive (relative to what I was paying in Florida). One of the seemingly popular solutions for the farm strips was a clamshell hangar. They're corrugated metal over a t-shaped structure.
