Hate to admit it, but... when learning to fly back in the 70's, in a 140
Cessna, I was lined up on the numbers with instructor. He asks, well
Jack...checklist complete? Sure we are ready to go. Off we went.
After applying power, an awful noise seemed to be coming from under the
cowl; I thought the C-90 was coming apart. I aborted the takeoff. The
noise stopped as we taxied back. He ask me the check the single seat
belt. My half was hanging out the door.

Guys,
Who has or has not installed an ELT? It appears that it is required by the regs
but I don't hear much on the list.

We unloaded the Henderson Pietenpol today at it's new
home, the Flying Bar H airport, which is just east of
Springfield, MO. We rigged her, watered her, and
weighed her (637# w/ water and 1 gallon of fuel).
My buddy, Wes Scott, a Model A kind of guy (he has two
at his farm and 13 engines) says the Model A needs a
choke to start. When I asked Joe Santana, the previous
owner, about this, told me he used ether to start the
Model A. I think it was him that indicated that Howard
may have also used ether.
So, with the choke wired open, what is the consensus
of preparation, and starting of the Model A Ford
engine in this application.
BTW, I fueled her with 87 octane car gas. Too cheap
for my own good? She sure sounded good. If it weren't
for squirrely winds above 12 knots at 90 degrees to
the strip, I would lifted her off from the high speed
taxi runs I was making.
Comments and criticisms are welcome.

TACO Benders,
Any idea of when this historic international trip would take
place?
I grew up in South Texas and am familiar with the culture.....
this would be a great trip barring any mechanical / part failure.
Gracias,

Hi Greg
It is required when you carry passangers, but not for the initial test phase.
I just went ahead and installed it. I did also show the inspector my passanger
seat belt but got an approval from him not to install it til test phase is complete.

Hello one and all. My name is Chet and I have just purchased a Piet
fusealodge from a fellow in Texas. I've been watching your list for about a
week now and it looks like a great place for information to me.
Mr. Nelson I live in Jefferson City and travel your way with my work for the
state. And would like to take a look at your Piet some time. Also our EAA
chapter 429 is holding a flying / carshow with a BBQ on Oct 9th from 9am to
2pm. So if you or any one else have time to drop in a eat a burger please
do.
Thanks again for the infromation and web site.

Chet, do you know Gabe Borbeau, a part time but mostly
retired state pilot? I flew with him in his Cub a few
weeks ago at the California Airport. I am still
buzzing about that.
Just give me a call. My home office is 417 882 8122,
and my cell is 417 849 2997.
If your EAA chapter is in Jeff, WEs SCott, my buddy,
belongs to that and he is mostly an old car guy, semi
retired from Dept of Health, and HE has a Piet
project, too, plus 13 model A ford engines. Call me
sometime. Hitting the rack, now, however, for an early
start manana.
