    The gross weight and the serial number is created by you. I made my gross at 1150# cause that seemed to be a popularly accepted weight. My serial # is #737678 after my three kid's birth years walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: CapnAvid@aol.com To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 3:04 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Gross Weight and Serial Number I have purchased a Pietenpol Aircamper project that is up to the covering stage.

    Naw, no regrets. This way if "Big Lou Albano" stops in for a ride, we're still legal. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: Christian Bobka To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 3:48 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Gross Weight and Serial Number I made my gross at 1150# cause that seemed to be a popularly accepted weight and I have regretted it ever since...

    Subject: attachment of horizontal stab
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "tmbrant1@netzero.net" <tmbrant1@netzero.net> When attaching the horizontal stab, is it best to shim under each member until they all are level? I'm wondering why the use of 3/16" ply on the two front members and 1/8" on the back. It seems that instead of shimming it up, that using a thinner gusset in those locations would also work? Also, the plans call for screws attachment into longerons. I'm assuming people are bolting through the longerons on the front two members... What about the rear member where it connects at the tailpost? Is there any problem with using standard carbon steel on the brackets for attaching the tail members? I can get my hands on some for free if that would work. Tom Brant

    Subject: Back in Wichita
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Rcaprd@aol.com On Tuesday evening 8/10, I landed at Otten Memorial airport, town of Versailles, Mo., and a guy cleaning up his Cessna 190 after Oshkosh, helped me re-fuel. I asked him if it would be all right to pitch my tent there, but then offered me a ride to the motel. Suddenly, a hot shower, clean bed, and a look at the Weather Channel became worth fifty bucks, and I loaded up my bags in his back seat. After getting a full belly, scrub, and relaxing on the bed, I looked at the charts without my glasses on, and I saw what looked like blue scrambled eggs, just to the south of my proposed course. I put my glasses on, and discovered it was The Lake of the Ozarks !! Ah ha !! New flight plan !! I highlighted every tower, and power line on the chart, flight planning a low and slow flight south, then west, through the Lake of the Ozarks. The sky was overcast at 5000', but it proved to be an incredible visual experience over the many many fingers of that lake all over. So many docks, boats, and quite a few big motels right on the tips of the peninsulas. I could tell this was a weekday, because there just wasn't enough people around to accommodate the vast quantity of docks, and boats at anchor. There is also a sea port, but I couldn't spot any planes at anchor. I really didn't get down as low as I planned on...no place to land just gives me the Hiebie Jiebie's !! Then continued west over the Truman Dam and Reservoir, and there just wasn't hardly any docks or anything down there. Continued west to Eureka for fuel, and to put the last bottle of baby oil in. That was my longest leg - 3.3 hours. Just to let the locals know I was back, I did a smoke run at Benton, and Gliderport, before continuing south to Cook. About 2 miles out, on approach to cross midfield at Cook, I noticed the whole parking lot was full of cars...Jumpers !! I looked over midfield and saw 3 of them under canopy !! I peeled of to the right, to approach downwind from the north. I landed at Cook Airfield, at 6:55...in the evening, that is. I kicked 'er around in front of my hanger, and shut down. I sat there a few moments to collect my thoughts, and thank the good Lord for a safe journey, and felt a little melancholy, realizing the journey has come to a conclusion. Chuck Gantzer NX770CG p.s. I have lots of flying stories to tell !!
