Chris-- thank you very much for your offer to house my plane all winter
! The other option is to keep it in Australia during the winter and Ohio
during the summer. (or anywhere 40 degress south latitude when we are
having winter) I hear the women in CA are beauuutiful too but that
wouldn't matter to me since I'm married:) Tell you what, you ferry it
out there and back for me by May 1st. and carry full hull insurance on it
all winter and we can talk:)))
Mikeeeee

Lawrence,
I saw photos of your plane at Osh in the "Mykitplane" photo section, Chris Gomez
posted them.

Can you describe your brake setup? It looks like a strap? Cable activated?
Thanks!

I have to chime in on this one, we searched for the "just right" airpark for
about 4 years. It had to be grass and on the tail dragger/Bonanza scale it
had to be way closer to the tail dragger end.
We found out about Hales Landing in northwest West Virginia almost by
accident, a friend, flying to the T-Craft flyin in Alliance OH, heard nature
call as he was flying over this strip. He came back and told us about it. We
have made two trips there and sent in our deposit for lot #28 today. There
is one lot left.
Skip in Atlanta, until June 1 2004.

| Subject: | alcohol in fuel/was Marathon or Shell ? |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" <taildrags@hotmail.com>
Mike Cuy (and anybody else curious), there was an item on identifying
alcohol in fuel in the August "Experimenter". Sez: "...If you start with
one part water and 10 parts of a fuel that contains 10 percent alcohol, the
water (actually water/alcohol mixture) will appear to double, leaving nine
parts gasoline." What you do is start with a clear sampling cup or tube,
add a known small quantity of water and note the level, then add a fuel
sample appropriately larger than the water quantity and shake to mix. If
the water level appears to increase, you'd better be suspicious that you've
got alky.
he article goes on to suggest that you not start with the fuel in the
sampling cup first, because as you add the water it may pick up alcohol on
the way to the bottom and you won't get an accurate indication of the true
starting quantity.
Now this whole thing will look funny to the motorists standing in line
behind you at the pump, but if you wear a uniform they may think you're with
the EPA or something.
And for you guys just hanging over the fence gawking, the article also
suggests that an empty vodka 'nip bottle' makes an excellent sampling
container, once all the alcohol is gone and the bottle cleaned out very well
;o)

Pieteres, I know that cont. A engines drive the magneto off the crankshaft
gear and cont 85-12s drive off the camshaft gear in the other direction. My
question is: can a magneto be changed to fit what I need?

From: Dave Rowe
For my money, Vancouver Island, British Columbia is the retirement
site. The weather is mild pretty much year round, with a couple of cool
months, featuring a wee bit of rain, and maybe one or two days of snow,
just enough for me to stoke up the fireplace in my workshop, and do some
serious building. Lots of great places to fly, you can make a weekend
adventure just touring the island, not to mention the dozens of airports
on the mainland of BC, Washington and Oregon. Although the housing
prices are steep in the Victoria area, there are some good deals up
island, the Campbell River area being my favorite. Come check us out, I
work at 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, based out of Pat Bay (Victoria
International). The Spitfire Grill, right on the airport has great food
and atmosphere, as well the folks at the Victoria Flying Club are super
friendly.

Gee, what a kind and generous offer but there is no way I could enjoy my self
in your plane knowing that if I put one scratch on it the whole Piet community
would hang me by my toes in a corn crib deep within the bowels of Iowa. I say
you and Corky ferry it to Australia, now that would be some cross country. I'd
be willing to chip in a couple bucks for gas and as I recall Corky always
wanted to fly a Piet over the ocean.
As for the abundance of pretty women in CA, think of it like a Fast Glass
Factory Built Laceair, put on plastic and filler then shape and sand and
something bland can turn into something pretty.
Say, does winter really last until May?

Well thanks to this list I was able to get in contact with Keystone
Instruments (ask for Ken 570 748 7083). They said they could restore my old
altimeter to working condition. I'm still trying to get in touch with some
thers to see what they will charge. I was not aware of all the things
Keystone can do to newer instruments to make them look old. And the prices did
not seem too bad. It was worth talking to them just for the options it opens
up.
Thanks for all the help
