      My Piet's C.G. was at 39% empty when I bought it.  I solved the problem by 
      installing a 12v Gel cell on my firewall.
      It drives my radio, intercom, and GPS and the Hobbs meter.  The batt. with 
      mount weighs 30lbs.  New empty wt. 703 lbs.

      Anyone have any clues of where I could find a Tech Counselor in South  
      Central Pennsylvania. My local chapter of the EAA is more of a social  organization.
      
      I think I am the only one building, so that does not appear to be  a viable 
      option.
      
      Anyone have any suggestions or contacts I can talk to? I would certainly  
      appreciate a contact.
      
      Please advise
      
      Thanks

      John,
      Yeah, that's the trouble with the EAA chapters now.   Thru advice from 
      many when I started to build the Piet, was to join the local EAA.
      The one and only meeting I went to was a mixture of the loudmouths 
      complaining of who didn't bring the right beer or the right sandwichs to 
      the last picnic. I toughed that out, only to hear them call out the end 
      of the meeting.
      Nothing about building or flying.
      
      I have been blessed with meeting  my mentor, Dick Lawson  EAA # 272, 80 
      odd years old, and a wealth of knowledge. He got me thru two projects.  
      Now in his mid 80's he's starting his 10th or so homebuilt,,,a Flying 
      Flea,,,with a 1/2 VW that he builds.
      May he live forever.

      There is a list of TCs on the EAA web site.  There is also a list of flight
      advisors.  Since I am a TC I should know where the list is, but I can't seem
      to be able to find it myself right now.
