If you get Trade a plane and look for Captain Woody under cont engine parts he has .020 bearings. They are not cheap and the front main is alittle different than the orginals so you must modify the case just alittle. I made a tool to do it with. which I can bring to Broadhead.

GREAT Broadhead video and very appropriate music selection! I had quite a bit of difficulty getting my computer to play the movie instead of trying to screen print the digital data. I did discover that you can right click (Windows XP) on the .wmv link and choose "save link as" in order to save the movie file to a local hard drive. At that point the Windows Media Viewer showed it just fine. Do not archive.

I read that Air Campers have been plans built with several diffferent fuselage lengths. Can anyone tell me what the lengths are and how are they measured? From Firewall to rudder post?? What is the proper method for measureing Weight & balance of an Air Camper? What is the normal gross weight for the one piece wing? What is normal (or average) empty weight?

When I fly I usually like to listen to Danger Zone from the Tom Cruise movie about hot shot fighters.I envision myself taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier and going after the bad guys.The only problem is that as Canadians ,we don't have an aircraft carrier so it's a bit of a stretch!I have Lewis machine gun fabricated out of light wood ready to go onto the Piet when I get used to flying her so I'll be good and ready to shoot down any incursion into our air space. ________________________________ [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tom Stinemetze Sent: July 8, 2006 10:45 AM Share Available!
