Brodhead Pietenpol Association

For the Ohio Piets and the Ohio Pietple, Barber Airport is having their annualAuto Engine Conversion Fly-in on June 5,6,and7. I talked to Forrest Barber andhe said he is also listing it as including Pietenpols. There are two Pietshangared there and will be there for the fly-in. They are Frank Pavliga's SkyGypsy and Allen Rudolph's 1934-ish Piet that Frank just acquired. Both of theseare a real treat to see. I'm planning to fly mine over. Mike, Skip, Shad,and any others, it sure would be cool to have a nice Pietenpol turn out. Anyof you guys up for a little gathering?For those of you that know some of the familiar faces that have attended Brodheadover the years, I heard some sad news yesterday. Will Graff, from Wadsworth,Ohio passed away a couple of weeks ago. I, like many others, enjoyed manyBrodhead afternoons sitting on the grass in the shade talking with him and enjoyinghis Piet. He'll be missed.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: cabane length

Carson,The cabanes on NX18235 are two inches longer than plans. The change in appearance isn't significant and it is relatively easy to get in and out.See attached.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----

I am sure D.J. told me he made the ones on mine longer.but then it is the dreadedGN-1 so who knows what I'll end up with.it has a stretched and widened fuselageas well so us bigger guys can fit but may not fly real well. but I'm sureanxious to try.I have the fuselage painted and on the gear now and moving forwardwith installing the tail group,front door etc.hoping to get a shot of itwithin a month or so with the center section up on the cabanes.then comes hangingthe engine and test running it! I am getting anxious but work and life doesslow me down.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 07:09:47 -0700 (PDT)

Dan,I am wondering if the Lost BHP Papers have any allowance for running thecables under the stabilizer. Clearly it has been done; and I may regretasking for permission, rather than for forgiveness. The last thing I wouldwant would be to be forced to park with the GN-1's someday when I make it toB-head (not that there's anything wrong with GN-1's).

Dan,I'm not to that point yet, although I just got my fuse mounted on its gearthis weekend. Fitting and rigging the tail will be next. I can only assumethat, like most Piets, mine will rub when at rest.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.) _____

Mine are all 23.5" hole to hole centers, but I have no idea about the AOI until I set the center section back up and measure.Bryan GreenElgin SCGN-1 rebuildingThe message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:clip_image002________________________________________________________________________________
