I believe the orange and blue corvair powered Piet belonged to Gary Bell??? Great airplane. I'm wondering how the intake was plumbed - it looked like it was over the top of the engine - must have had a catch pan for flooding of carb? Which carb was used? I liked the simple installation.Tom B.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: A question for Hans van der VoortDate: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:18:28 -0400

Hi Guys, Don't blame the 612, the 20 deg crab to West for the full 2/3 length of36L at 12" off the deck, touching a couple times only to give the Piets behindme more room. I planted the left wheel hard on the big red circle, on the centerof the run way, when GOD sent that blast from the WEST & MY RIGHT WHEELWAS sent 12" from the edge of the runway, That entire width has got to be closeto 300 or 200 feet wide, My forward distance from the red spot was 100 Ft andto the East 100 Ft. The 612 took a 4 G stress and only just nicked the tip.The prop took most of the impact.Can some person please tell me why Ken Perkins new tail wheel that I just installedshowed a slight bend in the downward direction after this show stopper. Ifthe tail was hit hard it should have a bend upward.Thanks all for your kind considerations, All joints still work and not one sorespot this morning.And thank you for those that attended my Form, will do better next time.Pieti LowellUpdate at 11:43am... just saw the pientenpol being towed by the tail off the runway.36L should reopen soon. Hmmm.... did the tailwheel collapse, instead ofthe main? Mains looked fine on the webcam.[/quote]Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:14:33 -0500
