My PPSEL license had been resting comfortably in my wallet for 41 years. Just today a friend showed me his new Sport Pilot card, which looks like my new digitalized drivers license. Where to go to get an up to date copy?

To replace your paper certificate with a plastic certificate, go to _http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/certificate_rep lacement/_ (http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/certificate_replacement/) and select the option to replace paper certificate. The FAA was charging two dollars for the plastic replacement but was free if the new certificate was issued based on the satisfactory completion of FAA practical test for a new license or rating, which would result in the issuance of a new certificate. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:45:06 PM PST US From: Rcaprd@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Wing flying drag wires?

Being in tension the wire should not need to be that tight. Just tight enough to take out the stretch. I believe that others have said they should have a dull twang sound when plucked. Not a sharp high tone. Mike Cuy Chuck G. and Jack P. will know better, as they have flying planes. Chris Tracy That's right, Chris...a dull twang is what I end up with. Take all the slack out, then a little tighter (maybe a turn or two) with the turnbuckle. To a lesser extent, these cables can also be used for adjusting the washout....back one off, and tighten the other one up the same amount, then re-check the wing alignment - just don't forget to re-safety the turnbuckles. I also use nylon zip ties to seperate and secure the cables where they criss cross. A failure in any of the struts, or cables on the Piet, would most likely be catastrophic. Chuck G.

From: John Hofmann This is how I got mine replaced as well. Walt, they did not charge me as I was having my SS number replaced at the same time. I did this last Auguts. They gave me the nice plastic card for Pilot and another one for my A&P. -john- > To replace your paper certificate with a plastic certificate, go to > http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/certificate_repl > acement/ and select the option to replace paper certificate.

The first flight this morning went great. Second flight this evening got windy as I was climbing out. Flew around for awhile and made a few approaches, one didn't seem too bad so I landed, really got lucky and the landing went fine.

Walt, Just wait and it will come. The FAA is in the process of updating all licenses to the new format.
