The prop is toothpicks, so we're looking for a replacement to get the plane back in the air. Anyone know of a Flottorp 63x60, used but airworthy, for this Mite? The plane is also certified to fly with experimental props, but an exact replacement would be best. Please email me off the list if you can help. Thanks!

So I've put together a short document to help find some answers to the questions that we all seem to ask when we first start out..... It's here: If that link does not work (mine usually don't), the document is called "Pietenpol Builder's Guide to the Universe" and it's in the "Files Library" section of mykitplane.com under "Scanned Piet Articles" It's a big file (1.5MB) so if anyone wants it emailed directly, let me know (OFFLINE). I plan on adding to it when something comes along that I can cut and paste from an email or where ever but won't do much more than that (I would rather spend the time BUILDING!!!) I'll try to avoid subjective commentary and opinions. (ie: A65 vs Model A, which is better????) and sticking with the basic stuff that we all asked when we got started. New builders can ask for opinions/commentary here or where ever they want..... Depending on my mood and workload, it may now have ALL the info it will ever have. I'm making no promises/commitments. But I do think it was far too frustrating to get started only to find out later that had I even KNOWN to ask "that one question".....I could have done it better or avoided a lot of redoing...... I'm not editing/copywriting, so if you have any ideas, please send something I can just cut and paste into the document.....so we don't want to add things like "I wish I had known about optional woods for the ribs"....maybe something like: "Check into Douglas Fir and White Pine and other as good alternative woods for the ribs...." would be a little more helpful for a new builder. Some new builders think Spruce is the ONLY wood to use.....(I sure did...) Several on this list have already added some really good stuff to the document and there's a LOT more that can be added. Ok, what do you wish you had asked or did ask and had to find out the hard way (and WHAT did you find out?) that I can add to the document? Comments? Suggestions? Wishing all a safe and happy holiday!

I've called the ISP and they are looking into the problem and may do intrusive testing on the line at some point this afternoon/evening. For the most part, things seem to be working right now, but the line will drop out every once in a while for 2 to 3 minutes. This problem will effect connections to the Matronics Web server as well as distribution of List mail. I will post a follow up when the problem has been resolved... Hopefully later today.
