After dutifully paying premiums for umpteen years it comes time for them to uphold their end of the bargain, its like pulling teeth to get them to pay off. I am very tired of working working working just to pay pay pay. I think I am going to go along with you and just take my chances and be self-insured. I don't have that much to take so come and get it. Bring the truck and I'll even help load it up.

John Fay in Peoria ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:59:14 AM PST US From: "Oscar Zuniga" Subject: Pietenpol-List: aging eyesight aid --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Oscar Zuniga" Just saw this little idea in one of the magazines... it goes on the face of your altimeter, directly over the Kollsman window, to magnify the numbers for guys like me who need help reading things up close. Can't say as I'd be willing to pay what they're asking though, because it looks like you could easily get one of the little stick-on magnifiers to do the same thing: http://www.onewinkllc.com/ And I'm sure he means "vernier", not "veneer"...

Apparently, one of the wing attach pins was not pushed down completely through the lower attach holes and while he was on tow and just breaking ground, the wing loaded and the lower attach let go, folding the wing. It departed the aircraft and the next thing you know, the Maule towplane was simply dragging a heap of junk. Pilot broke a leg and injured his back, I believe he is out of the hospital now though. Sailplane is totalled. He almost hit a car and people who were watching from the side of the runway after the craft lost control. Is there really anything more critical to a fixed-wing aircraft than the wing attachments?

That is tight ! I like your mention of 40....that is my magical number too for enough airspeed to climb and not to be too close to stall. Sounds like a great time. Alex on the list is building a nice Corvair Piet and is friends with Lynn and Kevin. Good people.

Is also kind of little. We all call it the Prefight List... Saludos Gary Gower.
