Really puts the crimp on flying from a grass strip. However, unlike your CA paradise, the warmer clime I moved from had summers dominated by utterly miserable heat & humidity (we had 99/99 days - 99 degrees, 99% humidity.). You pretty much had to hibernate in A/C from June to September. Then there were the hurricanes....I don't like hurricanes. So yeah, winter can last until May, at least by Southern standards, but summer is great & there are lots & lots of little airports to fly around to. And, when it's cold, gray & there's snow piling up outside, it does motivate one to go downstairs to the shop & get some work done. I won't comment on the women here, except to sat that blonde hair seems much more prevalent than in southern Virginia (does she or doesn't she? - only her hairdresser knows for sure) - but, it's impolite for non-natives to make observations on such things.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "w b evans" <wbeevans@verizon.net> From what I remember of what my Mentor told me about Eismann's, assuming there is no impulse, remove the nut and slide off the cam lobe and reverse it. If an impulse, the spring pin has to be moved to the other side,flip the spring, and get a new impulse coupling. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: <Wizzard187@aol.com> Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Magneto direction > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Wizzard187@aol.com > > Pieteres, I know that cont.

    Subject: Rib Full Size Pattern ????
    While making my rib jig, I compaired the full size patteren with the dimentions given in the plan. I lofted the measurements to the pattern. They are off by 3/16th of an inch in places. It also seem like I have too much room above the front spar and top capstrip. Which should I beleive? When tanfering the dimentions to the jig, I have made sure the spars are 27 3/4" apart and parallel. Help! and Thanks!

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Dave and Connie <dmatthe1@rochester.rr.com> Jack, Lofting is a much better idea. The template is paper and will expand and contrct a lot with humidity. When I did mine the spar spacing on the template was off by 1/8".

Last winter, the pattern I bought from the Pietenpols was 1" too long overall, with other measurements all screwy as well. Who knows how far off now - I rolled it up & put it away. Paper is definitely not stable. Kip Gardner North Canton, OH

    Subject: First Flight w/pax
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Rcaprd@aol.com It's official: NX770CG has lofted 'er first passenger into the sky !! Wednesday evening came with near perfect flying conditions. An old buddy of mine and his wife were on vacation to Branson Mi, and planned on visiting with me and my plane. He managed to climb in and out a couple of times without much problem, and we went over the harness, emergency procedures, and exactly what the flight will entail. When he asked "Is it safe?" I said "It's completely safe...as long as we don't crash !!" A thorough pre-flight showed no reason to cancel the flight, and after he strapped in, I propped the ol' Continental and lit 'er up with the first blade. Back taxi 34, run up, taxi into position. Right now, my intercom is an elevated voice level. I hollered "ARE YOU READY ?" He said "LETS GO !!", and gave me thumbs up. Check clear runway, hold the brakes, full power, oil pres / temp check, let 'er go. Forward stick got the tail up in short order, but the extra weight (highest gross weight ever), and kinda rough grass field made the take off roll reminiscent of flying behind the ol' Model A engine. The rumble of the earth went away, and we were airborne, keep 'er in ground effect for a short while to build some speed, and we climbed out at a shallow 48 to 50 mph indicated, maybe 200 fpm, albeit a positive rate of climb. We did four fly-bys with his wife taking pictures, and 'YEEE HAAAAWWWSSS" from us !! We then departed the pattern to the South, for a scheduled two T.P. drop at another friends house. Although we missed the target, it's a lot more fun when I have a bombadeer on board !! Returned to the field, and did a greaser landing !! What a blast !! Everyone had a great time, even his wife !! They took me out for a big Italian dinner, at Savoots 'Stick & Rudder' club for the post flight brief. Full belly after a great flight...it just doesn't get any better than this !! I took my second passenger up on Thursday evening, when flying conditions were even better than Wednesday - 80, calm winds, and about a million miles visibility. Judging by all his hootin' and hollerin', I think he also had a great time. We flew over his house, and his kids were running around waving their arms, and this T.P. drop missed the target by just 100 feet, or so, into the neighbors yard !! His wife made one of the kids go pick up the T.P. !! Chuck Gantzer NX770CG into a whole new realm of Pietenpol fun !!

    Subject: Re: Pal Nuts
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Bert Conoly" <bconoly@earthlink.net> Can anybody think of a reason why lock washers and nuts wont be as good as PAL Nuts and nuts? The case-to-case bolts on my A-65 are supposed to be locked with PAL nuts. Looks like lock washers would work to me. Or hi temp lock tite?? Thanks, Bert (who has a brand new top end, inspected bottom end :>o, and hopes to crank her up next weekend)
