    Subject: Landing gear hinge lugs
    Hey guys Drawing No. 3 (1934 plans) show two 5/8" hinge lugs and one 3/4" diameter hinge lug. I can see what the 3/4" lug is for, what do you do with the 5/8" diameter lugs? Thanks -- Rick Holland

    Subject: Another landing gear question
    How did you guys build the hinges on top of the landing gear vees? Bill Rewey mentioned that metal barn door hinges can be used. How about welding 1/4" ID tubing to the edge of a piece of .090" sheet? Can't find much help in the archives on this. Thanks -- Rick Holland

    Subject: joyride in a Cessna
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" <taildrags@hotmail.com> You know, what gets me is that in just about every run-of-the-mill line aircraft that I've ever flown, there were about a half-dozen different things you'd have to know and do correctly or the engine wouldn't start, much less let you fly the plane. This plane must have been sitting there with (a)no gust lock in place on the yoke, (b)mixture full rich, (c)fuel selector lever set to something other than 'off', (d)key in the ignition, (e)warm climate, warm engine, or throttle cracked enough to start without prime, (f)master switch 'on'... and maybe one or two other things (such as parking brake not set, though I've never had any use for parking brakes). Most people who have never flown or operated a light plane would not know to take care of many, or any, of the above. Used to driving a car, they expect to jump in, turn the key, and start "driving". Either the kid knew something about airplanes and their controls, or the plane was not properly stowed, or he had an accomplice. Too quiet on the list, so I apologize for the useless post but figured it would mean at least one post going on today's digest ;o) Sitting here waiting for my last "happy father's day" phone call from the oldest daughter... all the other kids have checked in today. Happy father's day to all you Pietenpol Dads, too. Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Gordon Bowen" <gbowen@ptialaska.net> Agree with you Oscar, kinda hard to believe the kid didn't have a little training on what to push and pull to get the bird started. Maybe it was a slow newsday and the reporter took a little literary license on this story. Don't think Flight Simulator that detailed. Normally in my planes the kid would be outta luck, the damn battery would be dead, or the carb would flood. Gordon Bowen -Homer Alaska Cozy IV N64CY Osprey II N64SY Pietenpol N-1033B
