Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Flying the Piet to Brodhead and OSHI'm trying to get my Piet finished and the time flown off so that I can fly it to Brodhead and then on the OSH with the group this year. I'd say the odd were about 50-50 that I'll be finished in time but I'm working most every evening on it. Last night, I welded up two of the fittings for the engine mountthat attach the mount to the fuselage fittings so it's moving along. Depending on how long it takes to get the engine torn down, inspected and put back together, I think I have a shot at it. Jack, if it all comes together, maybe we could meet up somewhere and go in as a flight of two.Matt Paxton**************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Believe they all can come in to play. My plane is an oddball for this list, asit is based on a GN-1, but is a biplane variant on it. The top wing's aileron'sare able to move almost 180 degrees before any control cables are attached,but 90 degrees up or down would not work so much like an aileron, but more likea brake, so I doubt anyone would want anywhere near that range of motion, andwith the control horns and cables it would be far less than that. On my plane the lower wing has a different aileron configuration. The back of thewing where the aileron is located slopes, and the aileron is attached at thetop of the wing, limiting travel a good deal. It can move up a long way, butdown maybe 50 degrees. It is worked by a control rod linking it to the upperailerons, so when all the control horns and everything are taken in to account,I probably am starting with 40 degrees up/down before the limits come in withthe stick's range of motion or any other limits.What prompted the question? Seems like the ailerons are large enough and responsiveenough to work for most people.Jim D.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Experimenter & Piet Photos
