My son and grand kids were here yesterday from Co. Spgs. Bad as it sounds, I was going to ignore them to watch the game until it was so one sided at half time, I let the kids have the TV and became a good host. As of 8 AM Sun. I still don't know if KU pulled one out of their @@@ and turned it around. Gordon: I don't follow College football too close, but I to was rootin for KU, but just for state pride. You couldn't help it with the last week of hipe. Thats ALL we heard. On wood glue- The Aeropoxy i used was not too runny at all. If I used too much in a vertical bond I would experience some running of the excess that was squeezed out, but a simple cleanup took care of that. All of my test pieces broke in the wood. I never looked into the glue he recomended because at that time my gluing was about 90% finished. On winter, the Almanac says the last day of days getting shorter is Dec. 7th. The first day we start gaining day light is Dec. 13. I start to perk up on Dec. 13. Leon S. with cabin fever in Ks. Wondering how you guys in Alaska do it. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:08:53 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Props From: "MikeD" Hi folks, Piet list newbie here. I and a buddy are putting one together we hope to have flying next summer. We recently scored a low time A-75, clean as a whistle inside. Regarding props: so far in what I have gleaned from comments here and there, a good choice for this combo would be in the 72-38 to 72-40 range. One poster commented that a 72-42 seemed a bit too much load and kept the engine from reaching top revs during takeoff. I guess it makes a good cruise prop though. Maybe this topic has been covered in ages past, but I didn't find too much in my feeble search attempts. Any comments? Thanks!

Mizzou has a good team, hope they meet WVU in NC game. Alaskans gotta embrace the winter, then sneek off to FL, AZ or HI in Jan. Feb. If that don't get it, the light the house and workshop up like inside of the sun.

Props are always a good subject. I'm flying behind an A 65 and have a Struba 74 X 38. Works very well for me both in climb and in cruise. Someone else on the list had a Struba 76 X 38 with an A 65 they were happy with. The main reason I went with Struba is because he will repitch the prop as many times as it takes to get it right for free. I'm sure you will get a lot more input from the others.

I have a Sterba prop on my A-65 which is a 72 x 42 which also works very well in both climb and cruise and the price and delivery sure was right.

Since the A-75 only becomes a "75" when allowed to run up to a bit higher rpm than the A-65, it sounds then like a 72-40 or 72-38 is in the ballpark. - Mike -------- Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=148466#148466 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 04:48:33 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fittings From: "MikeD" I've seen references here and there to steel fittings laser cut and bent by emachineshop. Does emachineshop have a set of drawing files on file (courtesy of some industrious homebuilder) which they would reproduce when requested, or do I need to work from scratch to provide CAD files? Thanks, Mike p.s. I have more foolish/innocent questions to go, this is likely just the tip of the iceberg! :) -------- Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=148468#148468 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 05:35:10 PM PST US From: "Max Hegler" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Magneto Adaptor Me, too!

I think I'm about ready to start on mine. I have the old ones sitting next to me here on the kitchen table. Which heat muffs from Wicks did you use, and do you remember the price? I don't see any for 1-1/4" pipes, only for 1-3/4". Thanks for the help...if you ever get any pictures, let me know. Thanks, Steve Ruse Norman, OK Steve, Finally finished up my exhaust. Went with 18" straight stacks for the back and 161/2" for the front cylinders. Used stainless pipe from ACS and heat muffs (put one on each side) from Wicks. They look and sounds great. I had contacted robbinswings and he told me they don't make muffs for 11/2' exhaust so I went with Wicks.
