Jack, Did you ever change over to your new wood prop? My 74 X 38 seems to work really well (of course after my old prop a warped 2 X 4 would seem to do really well).

Speaking of props. Does anyone have an extra prop for the Model A engine, or a recommendation of the best source?

I did OK with allot of things, rolling out on a heading, decents, and what not. My turn coordination and rudder intputs left something to be desired. I was having trouble getting use to the rudder pedal feel. The plane is coming along well, I have almost all the fittings on the wing, the turnbuckles on the center section and will be working on the struts and strut fittings soon. I finished the ailerons and cut them out. I should get pics up later this week. -Scott Schreiber ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 08:12:29 PM PST US From: Jeff Boatright Subject: Pietenpol-List: In defense of bean counters and academics I agree with a lot of what has been said about the direction that EAA has gone in the recent past and here's hoping that they expand back into the direction of the little guy. Turning 45 this Friday, I can now proudly say that "recent" to me means "in the past 20 years"! Anyway, I have to take exception to the thought that it was the "bean counters" and the "academics" that had ANYTHING to do with the direction that EAA took. You may be surprised at the income levels of "bean counters" and "academics". Being an "academic", I can assure you that owning one-third of a Pietenpol and driving one very used car is about all my vehicle budget can stand. People at the level of "bean counters" and "academics" are the people who populate this board and make up the backbone of EAA and other volunteer organizations across America. I, like others in this conversion, took a close look at the make-up of EAA's board of directors a while ago. Far from "bean counters" and "academics", the majority of the board was (and maybe still is) made up of extreme upper level management/executive types/business owners. As Casey Stengel used to say, "You could look it up!" I am sure that EAA had its reasons for going this direction, and no doubt the board provided direction along a path that filled the coffers and helped with what EAA leadership viewed as political realities. There is nothing wrong with that. You want people on Boards who are successful and can get things done. And, there is no substitute for solvency. BUT... You should never let that get in the way of what you're actually trying to achieve. It may be that EAA has arrived at that conclusion and hence the changes. I'll be more encouraged to see changes in the make up of the board and not just the firing of a magazine editor. I will now go practice saying my new favorite phrases: "Harumph!" and "You kids get the hell off my lawn!" Hey, this old age thing ain't half bad... ;) ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:13:49 PM PST US From: Jeff Boatright Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Took my first lesson this week Scott, Congratulations!
