I never new John Grega or even talked to him. I did order a set of plans
once, and they got away from me in a trade, I wish I would have kept them.
The one thing that always impressed me over the 10 or so years I have been in
aviation is that John never increased his $25.00 plans price. I always felt
that this meant a lot, and he was not trying to get rich off of aviation, but
just wanted more to share his dream of it.
Thanks John for sharing your dream, and I know it will live on.

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Les Schubert <leskarin@telus.net>
I live at 4000ft ASL and so I suspect that my A65 will be a little short of
power on a hot summer day.
Has anyone ever turbocharged an A65 or similar to compensate for elevation.
I realize it is a antique design but with modern synthetic oils and a oil
cooler and cylinder temp gauge it would seem like a viable solution.
Besides I don't own a exhaust system and I do have a little Garrett turbo
c/w waste gate that is the right size. I am not talking about trying for
great horsepower increases, more of just trying to compensate for altitude
on takeoff.
How about a real oil filter for a A65, any suggestions?
And a air filter?
regards
Les in Sunny Alberta
nice today about -6 C (+25 for you yanks)

AOPA LAUNCHES NEW EFFORT FOR MEDICAL EXEMPTION
AOPA on Thursday hand-delivered to the FAA a request for an exemption that
would permit AOPA members exercising student or recreational pilot privileges
to use a valid driver's license in lieu of an FAA medical certificate. The
exemption would be valid for two years, and during that period AOPA and the
FAA would collect new data to validate previous AOPA studies showing that a
"driver's license medical" would not affect safety. AOPA and AOPA Air Safety
Foundation statistical analysis have shown that only about one-third of one
percent (0.3 percent) of GA accidents involved pilot incapacitation that could
have been predicted by a medical certificate examination. "AOPA has been
working since 1985 to reduce the medical requirements for pilots," said AOPA
President Phil Boyer. "Our goal remains no medical certificate for recreational
pilots. This exemption would be an interim step toward that goal. And AOPA
has the resources to collect and analyze an irrefutable mountain of data to
prove that a driver's license medical is the right thing to do." See
( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2003/03-1-030x.html ).
NEW PIPER DOWNSIZES COMPANY
The New Piper Aircraft Inc. has downsized its Vero Beach, Florida,
operation following a drop in sales. New Piper spokesman Mark Miller said
the company was already suffering from a weakened economy, but the recent
Textron Lycoming engine ADs limited the number of airplanes the company
could produce. Management decided last Friday to cut 150 jobs throughout
the company. "We're taking this action to ensure the future prosperity of
the company," Miller said. The engine ADs affected the Saratoga and Malibu
Mirage lines. New Piper was initially projecting to sell 331 airplanes in
2002 but ended the year with 291 sales. The company is hoping to sell 252
airplanes this year. New Piper now has about 850 employees.
DIAMOND UNVEILS JET
Diamond Aircraft is officially moving forward with its plans to build a
light jet airplane. When "ePilot" first reported on it last October,
electrons were flying across the Atlantic between engineers in Canada and
Austria. Now the aircraft is taking shape and the company has offered some
preliminary performance estimates along with a price of "well under $1
million." The D-JET will have a single engine, unlike other personal jets
in development, and will carry five passengers up to a much more conservative
25,000 feet. Although Diamond hasn't announced the engine supplier, the
company is projecting a 34-gph fuel burn, a maximum takeoff weight of 4,700
pounds, and a cruise speed of about 315 kt. The company is expecting to make
the maiden flight in mid-2004.
BOHANNON GETS SIX RECORDS IN 'FLYIN' TIGER'
The National Aeronautic Association (NAA) has granted not four but six new
world records to Bruce Bohannon for flying his piston single-engine airplane,
the Exxon "Flyin' Tiger," past 41,000 feet last fall in Palm Springs,
California, just prior to AOPA Expo. The records await final approval by NAA's
international parent organization, Federation Aeronautique Internationale. NAA
approved unlimited records (covering all categories of aircraft) for the 9,000-
meter (29,537 ft) and 12,000-meter time-to-climb (39,370 feet) altitudes. For
the "Flyin' Tiger's" weight class, the C.1b category covering aircraft weighing
1,102 pounds to 2,201 pounds, NAA approved four additional records. They are
the 9,000- and 12,000-meter time-to-climb records, the absolute altitude record
of 41,300 feet, and the record for altitude in horizontal flight at that
altitude. For the latter record he was required to fly level for 90 seconds.
He chose the Desert Resorts Regional Airport near Palm Springs as the location
of the successful record attempt after discussing the site with an "AOPA Pilot"
editor.
SEC INVESTIGATES RAYTHEON
Following a national wave of increased scrutiny over corporate accounting
practices, Raytheon Company officials said that the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) has undertaken an informal investigation into the commuter
aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at its Raytheon
Aircraft Company (RAC) subsidiary. The SEC is specifically looking at the
1997 through 2001 period. The same aircraft unit was the focus of another
investigation in 2000, but no action was taken. "The company believes that
the accounting practices at RAC are appropriate, and it will cooperate fully
with the SEC's informal inquiry," Raytheon said in a brief statement.

==> INSIDE AOPA <==
AOPA REMAINS ENGAGED IN RESTORING 'DC3' AIRPORTS
How would you feel if you had to obtain a special squawk code every time
you took off from your home airport? What if there were certain public
airports you couldn't fly to at the risk of getting shot down? Sound hard
to believe? That's still the case for three Maryland airports close to
Washington, D.C., that have been suffering under special flight rule (SFAR94),
which has restricted airspace around the nation's capital since the September
11, 2001, terrorist attacks. AOPA is still very much engaged in the battle to
return transient operations to College Park, Potomac Airpark, and Washington
Executive/Hyde Field airports. On Saturday AOPA officials, along with airport
management, updated more than 140 pilots at College Park on progress in that
effort, and showed them how to formulate individual comments to elected
officials and AOPA's petition to the FAA. Pilots around the country are
encouraged to submit comments to AOPA's petition so that these airports can
be reopened to all aviators. See ( http://dmses.dot.gov/submit/ ) and enter
document FAA-2002-13623-1.
AOPA: A YEAR IN NUMBERS
At Frederick Municipal Airport in Maryland you can hear two kinds of buzzing.
One comes from airplanes and the other from activity at AOPA headquarters.
What was AOPA buzzing about in 2002? Let some 2002 numbers speak for
themselves. AOPA's Publications Division mailed 4.5 million copies of "AOPA
Pilot" magazine (about 720 million pages). To put that in perspective, if you
laid the magazines end to end, they would cover a distance of 9,200 statute
miles. AOPA also delivered about 11.2 million "ePilot" e-mail newsletters or
28 billion words. That's a lot of electrons. AOPA's Communications Division
conducted 450 media interviews and wrote 730 news releases to give general
aviation that needed positive spin. AOPA technical specialists answered
180,000 phone calls and e-mails. The AOPA FBO Rebate program gave back more
than $2.5 million to members and more than $9.6 million since the program
was started in August 1997. The total number of AOPA members utilizing the
AOPA Insurance Agency topped 25,000. Some 33,000 pilots took part in Air
Safety Foundation free safety seminars while more than 13,000 pilots attended
ASF-sponsored Seminar-in-a-Box programs. And, of course, the association
ended the year just shy of 391,000 members strong. A record that carries a
lot of weight when our crack lobbying team descends on Capitol Hill to
represent the interests of general aviation.
FINANCE YOUR DREAMS WITH AOPA, MBNA PROGRAM
AOPA and AOPA Certified partner MBNA America Bank, N.A., are now offering
home equity loans that may be used, for example, to finance aircraft that
are normally difficult to get loans for, such as homebuilts. Funds from the
loan may also be used for just about anything, including aircraft upgrades,
purchasing a hangar, or sending a student to an aeronautical university. See

==> ON CAPITOL HILL <==
SENATOR OPPOSES SHOOT-DOWN RULES
Despite the deaths of an American missionary and her infant in an April
2001 shoot-down accident, the U.S. government continues to be involved in
Peruvian drug interdiction efforts that allow the use of deadly force
against civilian aircraft. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) last week voiced
strong concerns about that U.S./Peruvian partnership. AOPA and the
International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA)
have long opposed shoot-down rules that permit targeting of civilian aircraft
that pose no threat to national security. In a statement from the Senate
floor, Leahy said, "I urge the administration to reconsider this policy.
Yes, we want to stop drugs. Yes, we want to conduct aerial surveillance of
suspected aircraft. But shooting civilian aircraft out of the sky when
there is no cause for self-defense, no imminent threat to innocent life,
and not even proof of illegality, I believe goes too far." See AOPA Online
for the story ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2003/03-1-028x.html )
and an issue brief ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/la-shootdown.html ) on the
subject.
==> AIRPORT SUPPORT NETWORK <==
STAYING IN TOUCH
When there is something going on at your airport, be it an event, an issue,
or just a question you want to ask, who do you go to? How do you get in touch
with them? What aviation organizations are on your field and what are the
FBOs, maintenance shops, and flight schools? Who is in the "chain of command"
at your airport, from the airport manager to airport sponsor? Are there any
authorities, advisory boards, councils, or committees that oversee or affect
your airport? As an advocate for your airport this information should be
readily available to you so that you can swing into action. If AOPA is to
weigh in on an issue, we'll ask for this information so that we can properly
direct our message. Take the time to get your "airport black book" in order.
You never know when you might need that information. Becoming an AOPA Airport
Support Network volunteer is a great way to help out. See the airports below
in your region that are in need of volunteers.
-----------------------------------
ASN is looking for volunteers at several airports--including,
in Arkansas, 1M1, ASG, AWM, BVX, and HOT; Louisiana, 3R7, ARA,
OPL, PTN, and RSN; New Mexico, CVN, HOB, and TCC; Oklahoma, 0F8,
1K4, ADH, AVK, and WWR; and Texas, GVT, HOU, HRX, LRD, and MAF.

==> AOPA AIR SAFETY FOUNDATION NEWS <==
ASF WANTS TO HEAR YOUR WEATHER STORIES
Ever gone up into "marginal" weather only to find out that you have just
flown into a major thunderstorm? Or have you taken off into a light flurry
and watched as ice built up on the wings? Many GA aircraft do not have
weather radar or known icing approval and occasionally even those that do
get into dangerous weather situations. The key to discovering what the
weather is really like is to research it as much as possible while still on
the ground. One of the most effective ways to do this is to find pilot
reports (pireps) in the planned area of flight. Pireps are observations
from the pilots who are actually flying in it, as opposed to METARs or TAFs
that are given from the ground and sometimes can be unreliable. E-mail your
weather-related aviation stories to the AOPA Air Safety Foundation
( mailto:asf@aopa.org ). Some stories will be posted online
( http://www.aopa.org/asf/weather/index.html ).
==> QUIZ ME! <==
Here's a question asked by an AOPA member last week of our AOPA technical
specialists. Test your knowledge.
Q: What is the meaning of the term "great circle distance"?
A: Imagine a circle defined by the intersection of the surface of the Earth
and any plane that passes through the center of the Earth. That circle is
the great circle. The great circle distance is the shortest distance between
two points on that sphere. A great circle distance calculator is available
online from the U.S. government. See
( http://www.wcrl.ars.usda.gov/cec/java/lat-long.htm ).

AOPA LAUNCHES NEW EFFORT FOR MEDICAL EXEMPTION
AOPA on Thursday hand-delivered to the FAA a request for an exemption that
would permit AOPA members exercising student or recreational pilot privileges
to use a valid driver's license in lieu of an FAA medical certificate. The
exemption would be valid for two years, and during that period AOPA and the
FAA would collect new data to validate previous AOPA studies showing that a
"driver's license medical" would not affect safety. AOPA and AOPA Air Safety
Foundation statistical analysis have shown that only about one-third of one
percent (0.3 percent) of GA accidents involved pilot incapacitation that could
have been predicted by a medical certificate examination. "AOPA has been
working since 1985 to reduce the medical requirements for pilots," said AOPA
President Phil Boyer. "Our goal remains no medical certificate for recreational
pilots. This exemption would be an interim step toward that goal. And AOPA

Jim,
I moved up here to NE Ohio a little over a year ago & had hoped to meet
your Father-in-law sooner or later at some local aviation event. I'm sorry
that I won't have the chance. When I tell people around here I'm building a
Pietenpol, they almost invariably tell me a 'John Grega' story - he was a
well-liked guy and truly was something of an aviation legend - even in his
own 'back yard'. That's saying something.
My condolences to your family.
Kip Gardner

Randy,
Forgive me for offending you and EAA. It is not my desire to get in between
two organizations who are attempting to help pass this new Sport pilot thing.
I only hope that you both forget WHO gets the credit and just get it passed.
