Subject: | Re: Throttle control question |
Rick,
I was out flying last night and realized my throttle "rod" is not 3/16" like I
said. It's actually 1/4" with forks at each end. The forward end attaches to
the turnbuckle. As it passes through the front cockpit I have a hardwood block
that it goes through as a guide. I have a leather washer at the mounting point
of the under slung throttle. This allows for smoother operation.

Subject: | Chet Peek's book "The Pietenpol Story" |
I just thought I would let everyone know there is now an "official" website
for all of Chet Peek's books, including "The Pietenpol Story". In case you
haven't heard of it, it is a great book, anyone remotely interested in
AirCampers should read it.
The address is:

Chet has received his book from the publisher, and is ready to start selling
copies. Until the end of the year, he will be distributing the book
himself, so the only way to get one is to e-mail him directly to order it.
I will get my copy Thursday afternoon and can't wait. I'll be sure to post
some thoughts on the book soon, I bet I'll have it read cover to cover in
two to three days.
His e-mail address is RBaron18@aol.com. I asked him today and he said he
will be taking orders for the book by e-mail, so don't hesitate to send him
an e-mail if you are interested. There are even a couple of pictures of my
plane in the book, and a little bit of information on my plane and how I
obtained it, so I'm particularly excited about the book.
If you don't know who Chet Peek is, he is an "Aviation Historian", who knows
plenty about aviation. He was in B-17s in WWII, and has plenty of hands-on
restoration and flying experience. He restored and flew a Curtis Jenny
which was actually for sale on Barnstormers recently. I'm sure he has
forgotten more about airplanes than I will ever learn. His most well known
book is "The Taylorcraft Story".
He is currently building a Model A Pietenpol, he has the fuselage built and
is nearly ready to run the engine. I've seen it in his garage, and the work
he does is great. I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm sure it
will be one of the nicest around. I hope to fly chase on its first flight.

I'm going to try to make it, I'm planning on heading up late Friday
afternoon and returning late Saturday. Not sure where I'll stay yet, I may
camp on-field if possible. The website says there are "limited bathing
facilities on the airport". I'm still trying to figure out what "limited
bathing facilities are".
Is anyone else planning on going? Chuck G.? Jim M.? Jim, I hope you can
make it, I feel like I've known you for a couple of years now, and we've
never even met!
