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.

Greg Cardinal Minneapolis ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:27:15 PM PST US From: Larry Nelson Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Starting the Model A --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Larry Nelson 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. ===== Larry Nelson Springfield, MO Beechcraft Bonanza V-35B N2980A Pietenpol Air Camper N444MH 1963 GMC 4106-1618 SV/ Spirit of America ARS WB0JOT _______________________________ Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:46:23 PM PST US From: "Mike King" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Mexico Trip --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Mike King" TACO Benders, Any idea of when this historic international trip would take place?

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.

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. --- Chet's Mail wrote: > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Chet's Mail" > > > Hello one and all.
