All those tailhooks look really good.
I saw a guy who carried what appeared to be a length of thin but strong nylon cord
in his cockpit. When needed, he just tied the tailwheel down with a slipknot
and ran the long end up to the cockpit. Propped her, got in, did his thing,
pulled the cord and stowed it away, VIOLA!
Maybe weighed 4 ounces and available at most hardware stores.
Though highly un-sexy...

I don't know about that. Used correctly, rope can be *extremely* sexy
in some applications...

Who said anything about stealing? I would be happy to PAY MONEY for
copies of the old newsletters. I would even volunteer to help scan pages
of them to pdfs and email them back to Grant so he can put everything on
CD and then sell me and everyone else a copy. I feel like Indiana Jones
trying to get copies of these things, I can get copies of the Dead Sea
Scrolls easier then those newsletters.

What I don't understand , is that not a week after everyone wanted to lynch a
guy who was selling/stealing Piet plans on the net,,,,,do we condemn a guy who
wants no one to take his copyrighted stuff.
Guess what makes it either right or wrong depends on if we want it or if we'll
lose it.

Years ago, I installed auxiliary ignition switches on the right side of the fuselage
near the firewall where I can keep my left hand on them while swinging the
propeller from behind it. With this arrangement, I can "kill" the engine should
things threaten to get out of hand. (These auxiliary switches are connected
in parallel with those in the cockpit.)
I used to carry an "insurance policy" in the form of a 1/4 inch nylon rope about
35 feet long if I intended to travel where there may be nobody available, or
qualified, to swing the prop. Simply tie one end to the left rear center section
strut (I enter the cockpit from the right with my Pietenpol), run the free
end back and around a tree, fencepost, etc. and back to the same c/s strut where
it is securely tied. Once in the cockpit, the two knots are easily untied
allowing one to pull in the rope and stow it.
This was prior to installing the auxiliary switches described above. Since my flying
is of a local nature nowadays, I don't carry the rope anymore but rely on
the switches and being darned careful. Nevertheless, this "rope trick" worked
well and I recommend it for safety and peace of mind---especially when flying
cross country to different airports.
