Norm your in-flight prop failure sounds like a heck of a story. Any chance
you could spare the time to share it with us on the Pietlist? Carl

Concerning joining the fuselage sides, most people on the archives say glue the
front together including plywood floor before pulling the tail together to make
sure everything is square. I have my sides set upside down and jigged square
with the tail joined together with the ash and other front cross members cut
and fitted (nothing glued yet). Any problem with first just glueing the front
braces, front seat back and floor plywood? Then glueing the tail together with
gussets on top and bottom and then filling in all the other cross and diagonal
braces?
Thanks

That's pretty much what I did with mine. I used a few starp clamps work very well
for this task.

| Subject: | Deep in the Heart of Texas |
It's near like kissing a daughter goodbye after her wedding. All those years
from birth and to see her drive away with a almost stranger who promises to
keep her as you have or tried. All you have left for the moment are memories.
That's how ole Corky felt this morning at 10:15 CDT at Bluebird Hill airport
in Keithville, La when Charlie Averitt, ferry pilot and flight instructor for
Oscar Zuniga, moved the throttle forward and brought that A-65 under full
thunderous power and lifted off the turf and turned the nose toward Texas.
Destination, Zapata on the Mexican border. Weather was fairly good with a marginal
early morning skud ceiling but I think his flight plan called for a 600 ft
flight level. When he gets there he will probably remain on his feet for a week.
A
female spectator commented after the take off that he failed to make a high
speed pass. She was readily informed that that take off WAS a high speed pass
for a Piet.
I'm happy that someone like Oscar has the plane who will fly it regularly. 41
hours in almost 2 years isn't utilizing the plane very much. Of course I can
excuse this by blaming it on those beauro idiots who sit around drinking
coffee, smoking and generally make excuses to keep from finalizing decisions that
may not be good ones and then lose their soft jobs. So they just try hard to
CYA and I don't mean Catholic Youth Association.
Maybe, just maybe, someday AFTER all this terror business is behind us and
the military and airlines stop trying to claim the skies as their very own, the
Sport Pilot rule will become law with all it's restrictions ie, can't fly
beyond a radius of 5 miles from base airport and not above 1200 AGL. Think I'm
joking? Just wait.
I enjoyed building 41CC with Joe Capzlicki. And enjoyed and appreciate being
with Edwin Johnson during the test flights and his instructed flights with me.
I was a pleasure to fly as told me by Mr. Nathan Moss.
I'll stop this chatter now, lay up a mint julip, put on some Tommy Dorsey
records so Isabelle and I can dance up a big time tonight.
Corky in La thinking about his baby deep in the heart of Texas ( I hope )
