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.

Why would it be another month?
After you have that rib in the jig you're spending
that curing time making brackets, building landing
gear, constructing control horns.....right?

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.

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.

Sorry,
What is ELT? End of Life Tire??? That's my best guess. I'm new to this so it
could very well be a standard term.

I am going to blackmail Mike Cuy since I now know that he is operating
his
Piet in violation of the FARs. 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.

I flew for the first time in '06 on Thursday. Man , It was great! I had put new
exhaust pipes on with new muffs for carb heat, and they gave me a good (better)
drop than the old. From Wag Aero, pipes for an Aeronca 7AC.

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
:)

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.

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.
