I don't agree with rudder offset.I built to the plans. and rigged like a nut to get all right.When I climb, need right rudder to correct the "P" factor.Cruise is fine, no holding of rudder.Throttle back, maybe some left rudder.Ain't life Grand.PS rig it right , and it will be good. :^)walt evansNX140DL________________________________________________________________________________

I put in no offset and found I needed a bit of right rudder all the time. Have put in a trim tab which will get checked out today--Jim lagowski, NX221PT----- Original Message -----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: FiestaThere is a gent in my video by the name of Jim Malley who I show taking off atBrodhead with a Pietenpol that is Fiesta powered. As I recall it had the gold/turnedcowling burnishing that you're talking about Owen. It sounded like it was goingtocome apart on takeoff the rpm's were so high but he got off the ground....eventually.As I recall the plane wasn't a performer but if you're out there Jim, please correctme. Auto engines just make me uncomfortable when used in an airplane but...they arereasonablein cost, but the price some seem to pay in the long run with headaches, heartaches,andtroubles down the road just don't seem worth the savings. Still I have to sayI LOVEhearing the Model A powered Piets flying overhead at Brodhead--there is somethingabout that.
