Mike King & group,
Not a fan of American Idol but I watched the try-outs on tv last night
from San Antonio. There was a young lady from Krum on
and she made the cut but they did an overview of life there and showed
farm life there and the water tower you probably flew over.
Good to hear that there are some guys rebuilding a Piet there too.
You'll have a wingman.

So let me get this straight;if I buy a plane from a guy who is 90%
finished,then I have to tear it back down to 51% before I can get it signed
off?This sounds rather dumb to me.All my plane needed was the final
inspection and because I went ultralight with it I didn't even need
that.However as I've said in previous post I did get two AME's to look at it
anyway(no signing on their part).

The FAR states that the majority of the airplane has to be built by
amateurs for educational and recreational purposes. There are many,
many homebuilts out there that were built by several people over the
years, with the project passing through several hands before
completion. However, only ONE person will be assigned the repairman's
certificate for it at time of certification. There may be FSDOs that
interpret the rule differently, but the FAR itself is pretty
straightforward.
I do not know what the rules are in Canada.
Joe Norris at EAA (jnorris@eaa.org) is an excellent source of
information for these issues. He is prompt and thorough in his
replies.
HTH,
Jeff

YES Don, Matt T. was my inspector too and he's a push over given a free
meal. Seriously, he's a good
guy plus he is an A&P, private, and owns a Champ so he at least knows
what he's looking at. He made some
good suggestions up in my center section pullies where the brackets
holding my pullies would not have
necessarily retained my 3/32" aileron cables and they could have become
jammed. I installed small L-shaped
brackets on each pulley to keep the cable from jumping out of the groove
ever. Matt gives a good presentation
on how to certify a home built too for EAA Chapters and such in the
northern 1/3 of Ohio. We had him at our
EAA meeting back in the fall.

| Subject: | Sterba Prop & Chet Peek's address |
The Sterba prop I purchased on e-Bay is 76 by 46 -- UPS says it is to be
delivered today as are the engine parts from Snyders! I even took a day off work
-- it feels like Christmas, Hannukah abd Quanza and others all rolled into one!
I believe the Pietenpol prop drawing calls for 76 by 44 -- so maybe this one
will give a bit more cruise and a little less climb -- depending on how many
Wheaties I feed my Model A...
As for Chet Peek's address, here it is: 1861 Danfield Drive, Norman, OK
73072-3000.
Best regards to all! Stay warm!

The last guy to touch it or finish it of has to take responsibility for the
whole aircraft.In other words if I should sell the aircraft now I am on the
hook for anything that happens to it even though there were two other
builders before me.This is why guys are tearing things apart and piecing
them out so they don't get nailed for an accident even though it could have
been the other guys fault in the first place.Everybody is paranoid up here
now because of what they have seen going on south of the border.However
since the aircraft is registered as an ultralight this may not apply to me.I
will have to research this aspect of it.Just taking the engine off and
selling it separeately is enough to get one off the hook from what I have
heard.Even if you sell the engine to the same guy that bought the plane.One
can always say I did not sell a complete aircraft.When I took over my
aircraft it was all in pieces.All I had to do was put them
together(wings,tail section,etc.),large pieces.Then I had to put in stuff
like seat belts,electric start etc.So the guy who sold it to me is off the
hook for anything that may go wrong from here on in.

| Subject: | avoiding liability |
I personally know of a Sky Scout that was started by a friend here in
Ohio and nearly ready to fly when the builder got out of aviation
completely and de-registered the aircraft saying that it was destroyed.
The plane was then sold as and changed hands until it was put together
and flown for the first time. The original builder wanted to wash his
hands of any future liability. EAA has a form you can have a buyer
sign that is intended to help deflect liability if you are the builder
but I have hear that if the attorneys want to suck you for blood they
can find a way to do it should something bad happen to someone flying a
plane you sold them and built.

BlankMike,
You are right about the Krum water tower. I live five miles south of
Krum in a smaller town named PONDER. And about three miles
south of me is the community of DISH. Yes, this is the little town
that changed its name from Clark to DISH......after the DISH
satellite company that offered a prize to any town in the country
that would change its name to be its namesake.
A few miles south of that is Justin.....the town that makes Justin
cowboy boots.
Lots of interesting town names and characters who live in those
communities. Come see us.

I think if you follow that logic Mike about how some of the towns are
named around you I think my Dad would have
chosen to name our town Loafers after his two sons when we were growing
up:)
I always liked George Strait's song called All My Exes, but haven't yet
understood the connection there since just about
every lady I've seen from Texas has been quite attractive....but then
again I've never been there in person. Ya'll can correct
me accordingly. The young gal from Krum looks like she'll fit right in
Hollywood with no troubles.

See, Mike, it's like this. When you have a couple of ex-wives out there
that are after everything you own (they say it's only 50% of what you own,
but it's always the good 50% that they want), you wouldn't want to be caught
back in the state where you're "wanted" for... whatever. Not that your exes
aren't sweet, pretty, nice, or anything else- but the law don't make no
exceptions for pretty ;o) Texas gals can swing a pretty mean rolling pin.
definitely, do not archive... I'm still living with the same Texas gal after
38 years and she just keeps getting better and better...

harvey: the airplane was once 100% finished and flying. The owner had
unregistered it and gotten rid of any paper trail to him so he wouldn't
loose his business in a law suit if a new owner flew it into a mountain
in IFR weather. (deep pockets ) I was looking at the possibility of
reassembling it and reregistering it. My DAR said he would work with me
on it until I couldn't show a log of it's construction for the 51% rule.
He told me the owner didn't need to be the builder. As someone said,
many projects pass threw several owners before they are licensed. I cant
remember the last time I saw a new construction with Cub (etc.) wings.

Fred,
The Orin Hoopman drawing, dated 3-3-33, for the Model A prop, is 76 X 48.
That's what I built. It was too much prop for the stock Model A engine, except
with the Aluminum 6:1 head, so it would never unload in cruise, and I could
never get into the horsepower / torque range for take off. I think you did
good, going with a 76 X 44. If anything, a 76 X 42 would be better, which I
think is what Ken Perkins suggests.

Leon,
But there's a difference between Experimental and Certified projects.
You can rebuild a Cub, or another , if you find an AI who will sign you off
along the way for a final FAA inspection on the Certified.

Chuck,
There is a town not far from here named "West" It is just north of
Waco, Texas....about 85 miles south of Dallas on Interstate 35.
It is considered Central Texas.
So technically it is NOT part of the West Texas region which generally
lies several miles west of Fort Worth heading toward Abilene,
Midland/Odessa, Pecos and finally El Paso.
BTW, West is primarily a Czech farming community and the home
of the "West Fest" featuring Czech music, brats, beer, dancing
and bunch of fun. Here is the town's official web site:
http://www.west-tx.com/
You are right......Texas is a wide open area. There was a time
when the Texas Highway Department's Aviation Division sponsored
a week long event whereby airplanes would start off from one region
of the state and within a week make a complete circle of Texas.
Aviators would land each afternoon and be received by that town's
officials and enjoy food and beverage. By the end of the week they
would have flown over the Gulf Coast, West Texas mountains, plains
region, the piney woods of East Texas, the Mexican border and other
diversified terrain.
It was good to see you Chuck when you flew to Texas and stayed
at Terry's place near Waco. Hope to see you again soon.

Chuck,
When I went to school at West Texas State in Canyon, about the time I was
acquiring my Private Pilot, I knew a guy from Earth, TX. He had been in a
fight or two over that one! Where are you from? "Earth", how 'bout you?

Chuck,
When I went to school at West Texas State in Canyon, about the time I was acquiring
my Private Pilot, I knew a guy from Earth, TX. He had been in a fight
or two over that one! Where are you from? "Earth", how 'bout you?

Oscar,
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on the presentation.
Why don't you send me a bunch of new pictures of 41CC for the web site. How
about some detail shots.

Harvy, you must remember that our laws are different up here.
Lawsuits don't work the same way as in the States. Mostly in the
realm of intangibles like pain and suffering. Our courts don't
take as much stock of that and also concern themselves with
the defendant's reasonable ability to pay. The first thing of
concern is that of fault. If some guy stupidly flies VFR into
one of our rock filled clouds there's no way a Canadian court
is going to fault the previous owner or builder because the
plane slid down the mountain face in pieces.
