I copied this from AvWeb and it is good to think about before we go up. Since the election I have not thought much about this--but it is still big item to include in our pre-flights. Mike C. President Bush is expected to make 60 appearances in coming months and you know what that means. Remember to check and double-check your own flight plans to make sure they don't conflict with the TFRs that will result from the president's tour to sell his Social Security plans... http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr/list.jsp do not archive ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:03:44 PM PST US s=s1024; d=yahoo.com; b=QqUt4gaNML1LraQ70mTnXp9b9bV9oKxs/ZU6O4NiqTjUZjM0HCksRHRS+OhALxnF9UDCn4ynJ9pS/fzACEDRihSTxNv14iNbasK+NbeggEKMK9eWF5YT9Vo1Q7qlooO/6o7P2bcu6SrtasNlPER3DP+p3Lc+cgVFMenLar4UJr8= ; From: Gary Gower Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Prop carving machine The plans on e-bay are the ones I used to make my carver. I have used it for more than 10 years and done lots of props, for my planes and friends. I carve the basic cut, then they do the final sanding and balance, I just watch them, all this for free, because I dont have the time to build their props and they need to learn and work on them. Works great, yuo just need to make a good flat table... Very easy to build and inexpensive. Each router is good for about 3 to 5 props (depends on the brand and quality) I use cheap home duty little routers, they weight less. Saludos Gary Gower.
