When I got home and unloaded the car, guess what fell out of the car...my camera. I had unloaded the car and went through everything at Oshkosh and couldn't find it. I even unpacked all the bags...freaky! Anyway, I have all the pictures I took at Brodhead, but didn't take any at Oshkosh. That camera is going to bug me for a while. I think I am going to try to come down for one of your EAA meetings if that is convenient.

Around here the trailers rent for $25 a day. I use my own 16' trailer which I have owned for over 20 years. The 16-foot dimension is for the bed alone, so you can overhang a Piet a bit on both ends as needed. Take the empennage off before towing, and put lots of plastic all over everything. Tie down with heavy rope or nylon cinch binders. Watch out for sharp edges and effects of wind. It worked for me.

My tail was also too wide to go in. I built a carpeted pallet to hold it. I padded the walls and stood wings up, leading edge down. Make sure there are plenty of places to tie off to. Maybe Skip Gadd can weigh in on trailing across country with a flat bed trailer, he did that last year.

Now I need to get it to the big town of Midland Ontario. I thought perhaps I could ride my motorcycle and bring them both back in a Uhaul but a Piet is is quit long. (200 inches including mount by the plans) and would require a huge truck. Any clever ideas? Does any one know what a container might cost?

That there is a Flaconar F-12. the wing is 28 ft long tip to tip. 16 foot flat center section. I bolted a rack on the front bumper made out of parts of an old clothing display rack and added 16 foot long 2x4s to bridge fwd to back over the truck cap. michael silvius scarborough, maine ________________________________ Message 27 ____________________________________ Time: 06:40:54 PM PST US From: "MICHAEL SILVIUS" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Mooving a project That is what the rack I built to move the Falconar looked like. more pix of the plane at: http://rides.webshots.com/album/147451245dhnmgI Michael Silvius ________________________________ Message 28 ____________________________________ Time: 07:57:35 PM PST US From: "Catdesigns" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Axel on Wood Gear Question Question for people with the wood gear strait axel. What goes on the inner side to hold the wheel in place? I have pictures of the outer end of the axel but non of the inside. I am planning on using brakes like Mike Cuy or perhaps a drum. Anyone have pictures of their axel without the wheels on it?
