| Subject: | My Brother Needs an RV-4 Engine |
Chris,
I assume he is on the RV list, if not you might suggest it. I think Bill VonDane
from the RV8 list had a 320 awhile ago.

I was talking to my brother last night and he mentioned he was having trouble finding
a reasonably priced low to mid time 0-320 or 0-360 for an RV-4 he is building.
He has been watching Trade-A-Plane and E-Bay but no luck. I know it's
a long shot but does anyone out there have one to sell or know of one for sale?
He lives in Southern Corky country (that's south western Louisiana) if that
helps. He's been working on this thing for 15 years, see even kits take a
long time to build. I keep telling him he needs to get it done before it get
crushed by his house, it's already been through two natural disasters (a large
earthquake in S. California and recently a Hurricane). As most of us can relate
to (or in my case hope to relate to) he's a bit excited to finally have the
airframe mostly done and to be looking for an engine.
If you know of an engine email me directly and I will forward off the info to him
Thanks

Well Id be willing to guess that he would have likely bought two engines
instead of one or at least paid for major repairs and an engine.
An engine just sitting is likely the worst case situation. Internal
corrision is a huge risk. That bargin engine that needs an overhaul after
flying 100hours or so is suddenly no bargin. You would also have to factor
in the lost income that the money spent on that engine could have earned in
an investment over the 15 years of construction to be a totally fair cost
comparison. With that in mind I would have also waited to buy the engine

Group,
I've been away for a while, and had a wonderful Christmas with family &
friends.
Now, I'm wading through all the built up e-mail. Sending out video's to John
Rocca, Malcolm M., and some others.
Wow !! It seems to me, from the responses, that y'all like the video !!
That's a big relief to me, and makes the effort worthwhile. Thank you for
the wonderful comments !!
I'm back to work on the building video, but it won't be as 'flashy' or
exciting as the Flying video. It will be about building the Airframe of the
Pietenpol Aircamper (with a few short Flying clips thrown in here & there to
keep things interesting).

Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;
It won't be much longer before I'll be needing to refill the oil sump on the
A65 and I'm looking for recommendations on what to use here in South Texas.
Forget snow, ice, low temperatures, and all that... we are hot & dusty most
of the time. I'm open to suggestions as to what oil all y'all are flying in
your small Continentals in these airplanes (Piets, Cubs, early Cessnas,
T-Crafts, etc.)
Thanks, and here's to a new and improved 2006!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Motorcycle wheels
Speaking of wheels, I've purchased (on e-Bay) a pair of the solid disk cast aluminum
wheels as used on Harley Davidson "Fat Boy" motorcycles. I like the 1920-ish
airplane looks and I believe they are stronger than spoked wheels plus
I won't have to worry about spoke maintenance, etc. They're a little heavy, which
is okay on the front end of the plane, but I can lighten them a couple pounds
by removing the sealed bearings and spacer inside the wheels. For just taxiing
and landing and taking off, I don't think I need roller bearings -- just
run the wheel on the tube axle and keep 'em greased. Also, the brake rotors will
bolt right to the wheels -- just need to fabricate the caliper mount. I've
also found some smooth tread tires to use, too. Anyway, this is my wheel "solution"
at the moment. Of course the proof is in the pudding, so in a year or two
when my ship flies, I'll report back.
Happy New Year --and Happy Landings -- to all!

Can anyone tell me if there is there a good reasonably priced hotel close to Broadhead

on doing that anyway but, I didn't know if I have to be a member to get in.

| Subject: | cold weather gear |
Looking for advice on clothing for cold weather flying. I've tried a snow suit,
but I feel like the Michelin Man. Anyone know of a supplier that has something
that is thin and warm? Also gloves, and what on the head. Normally I fly
with a kacki cloth helmet with a headset.
Any and all inputs would be welcomed.
The days here in Northern NJ are short and cold and damp, but I sure long to fly,
even for a short time.
I've flown during some cold days, but when I get back on the ground, I realize
the whole plane is shaking,,,,,from me.

| Subject: | Wheels and brakes...... |
Just a quick note from the village idiot in the north central part of the country.
Has any one thought of using dics brakes and pedals from American Power Sports?
They are a carting company that makes very compact and useful brakes calipers
and brake pedals. If this equipment is used to stop a cart that travels
around 80-100 miles per hour, why can it nor be used in our situation?
Lastly, I too am interested in smooth rims as seen in Canyon Run motorcycle catalog.
The question I have is what height works best when seeking out the finish
wheel design? Is it 19 " or 21"?

Scott,
I just (2 years ago) moved from Albany, WI ( 7 miles west from Brodhead, WI)
and can tell you their is excellent transportation into the city and a very updated
hotel for you to stay. By the way, their is a beautiful grass strip in Albany,
WI where you can land and walk over to the convenience store for goodies,
gas, etc....
When you are at the annual fly-in, make sure to walk through all the hangars
that are open to the public. You will see this group is probably the best antique
builders group anywhere. Examine the techniques and observe the stuff several
of these builders are putting together. You will be amazed at the knowledge
and the creative way they can repair and put things back in the air. Truly a
builders paradise. Good luck and I hope to be their someday with you in my newly
started Piet project.

Walt,
Being from AK, feel can make a few recommendations about cold/wet weather
gear. Costco is currently offering a wet/cold 2 pc. rip-stop nylon suit
with velco in all the right places for about $50. Layer-up using poly
longjohns under this type of wind wet tight gear and you'll be nice and
cozy without the bulk.

Oscar,
In the A65, we used Phillips 66 X/C 20W50 in the winter and AeroShell
Oil W100 Plus for the other seasons. We operate near Atlanta. There
is no particular reason for these choices - they were available and
seemed to work fine. Before this, I flew a C-172 for years and its
owner used AeroShell Oil W100 Plus year round. Given your location, I
would be surprised if the AeroShell Oil W100 Plus or another premium
single-grade isn't your best choice.

Scott,
The Sutherland House bed and breakfast has four guest rooms.
http://www.innsite.com/inns/A000310.html
Earth Rider Hotel is a 5-room boutique hotel
http://www.earthridercycling.com/hotel/index.php
I've stayed at the Sutherland House several times. Nice place and
good owners; they are very appreciative of the fly-in crowd. If the
wx is good, it's beautiful but long walk to the airport. Earth Rider
Hotel is new, so I don't know what it's like.
HTH,

Thankyou Jeff Boatright and Kenneth Heide,
I' ve made reservations at the new Earth Rider Hotel. The lady on the phone was
very friendly. She told me that they are only a 1/2 mile from the Piet fly-in
and she would provide bicycles to their guests to ride back-n-forth and around
town at their convenience.
I can't wait ! See you all there...
