    Subject: Re: tire shaving and ELT
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Clif Dawson <CDAWSON5854@shaw.ca> In the mid 30's, when the Boeing 247 was a new state of the art aircraft, one left Seattle for Vancouver. It never arrived. The mystery was finally solved some 10 years ago when it was finally discovered by hikers only a few miles north of where I'm sitting, here in the middle of a large and thriving metropolis of two million souls. Except for ultralights, balloons, hang gliders and auto- gyros, all AC must carry an approved ELT and "appropriate" survival gear. They don't call them the "Rocky's" for nothing. Around here it's not just aeroplanes that go uppity-up-up and downity-down-down. Now, if someone would just trap that damn skunk that makes my nights miserable, the racoons that party all night in my backyard and the coyotes that ate my neighbours dog......AH, well, I guess there are some sacrifices to be made for living in a huge park. :-) :-) I should really think about putting this Piet on floats, or at least huge balloon tires. I think 12.50X20's aught to do it.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Glenn Thomas" <glennthomas@flyingwood.com> Very true. I have 2 Corvairs that need to come apart. Need to put in an order for more wood. Corky recommended a lumber source to me and I'd like to try them (reputable lumberyard in WA) rather than an aircraft supply store. Seems like if they can put an "aircraft" label on it the price triples. Need to order soon. I'd like to get the tail feathers started. -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=30009#30009

    Subject: Nails or staples
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) I used staples to stick on the gussets. Arrow JT21 stapler. ( Arrow T50 stapler for 1/8" gussets )I bought the staples from Sears. It looks like they are sharper and rounder than Arrow staples. They didn't split the wood. I was able to immediately pull the rib out of the jig, flip it over and gusset the other side. I once knocked out 3 ribs in one cold rainy day. Latter, at your leasure, while watching tv or something you can pull the staples. A sharply pointed stake knife worked good for that. Cover your lap with a Sunday newspaper especially the family jewelry incase the knife slips. Leon S. Ks.

I believe an ELT is required. There are exemptions made when it is required to ferry an aircraft from a place where repairs cannot be made to a place where they can, and other ferry operations. More useful, however, are these (numbers correspond to the exceptions noted in the applicable FAR): (3) aircraft while engaged in training operations conducted entirely within a 50-nautical mile radius of the airport from which such local flight operations began ["flying off your hours" or just training] (4) aircraft while engaged in flight operations incident to design and testing [which I guess you could say most experimentals are doing every time they fly], and (9)aircraft equipped to carry not more than one person. [as in, Sky Scout]. All others- ELT or beware a ramp check. Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: dmott9@aol.com Yeah, ELT - that thing that goes off when you don't want it to, in the hanger, then when you crash land in the trees or in a rough field, won't activate when you want it to. Its puts out a weak Beacon signal that is supposed to be on a frequency thats monitored from space and able to be pinpointed, yet can be activated for 3 days and no one is looking for you. There are portable ones that you can mount with velcro, so whose to say Mike doesn't have one he attaches with velcro to the bottom of his seat :) -----Original Message----- From: harvey.rule@bell.ca Sent: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 15:15:07 -0400 Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: tire shaving and ELT --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: <harvey.rule@bell.ca> ELT ;emergency location transmitter for when your ass is where it shouldn't be. -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Glenn Thomas Sent: April 22, 2006 7:24 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: tire shaving and ELT --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Glenn Thomas" <glennthomas@flyingwood.com> Sorry, What is ELT?

    Subject: Re: I flew Thurs.
    Walt I had an EAA chapter meeting at my hangar last Wed night. One of the guys there gave me a warning about the Aeronica pipes, which I also use, along with several others on the list. This guy said he once had a pipe break which came down and destroyed the prop and caused an emergency landing. Apparantly, there is an additional support bracket which is supposed to tie the pipes together for safety. I've never seen this, maybe someone else on the list has more info. I probably won't be back in the air for a couple of more weeks.

    In a message dated 4/21/2006 3:33:48 PM Central Standard Time, douweblumberg@earthlink.net writes: I'm confused about whether I need an ELT or not. I think the Feds are changing the frequency of ELT's (currently 121.5 mhz), by something like the year 2008, in order to include much more information about the source of the signal, as well as being easier to locate. This means you will have to buy a new one, if yours doesn't comply. Chuck G. NX770CG
