(don't tell Julia)... I ran a spare propane line into the house last year when the power was out for a week so heat is not a problem. I hope next year to get started on my plans for alternate/off grid power resources. Since I FINALLY finished up the tailwheel assembly, everything is sitting up off the ground nice and pretty. So I'm sure all's well. Biggest thing is having the power on when I get back home. I spend a lot of time during the week working on different parts of the project in my mind so when I get home I'm ready to get to work...and every time I think of what I'll work on this weekend I have to add "if the electricity is back on...". Actually, I can do some sanding... I love this homebuilding process! jm do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: AMsafetyC@aol.com To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 5:42 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: some really nice pix!

Jim, I was worried, but glad to see you covered the priorities in proper order, Piets safe and secure, oh ya and the family too! I know the feeling, I got tons of mental build hours in mine too, I think that's part of the process. With my unused vacation for the year Friday is my last officinal work day for the year. That means I got almost 2 weeks to work on the Piet. I sure hope that time doesn't get absorbed with the continuation of the summer, the wife projects and requests. I am hoping for 2 weeks of build time, I sure hope I have enough wood, glue and supplies put aside so I don't have to go shopping for anything. Well maybe a drill press would be a nice addition to the shop. All in all I am looking forward to the build and making saw dust again! Mental building is fun but sure doesn't compare to making noise, sawdust and airplanes.

Then I can prove my build hours and have the vid too that's that anyone would be interested in viewing it. Unfortunately all my Broadhead 07 video is on that format tape, not the full size vhs but the smaller tapes which I had intended on editing but have yet to be able to upload onto to my computer and put it all together as part of the Piet experience. Does anyone have any ideas on how to cobble together a system that would work using old outdated equipment. I would appreciate some ideas on the build cam concept. I sure wish I knew a Piet builder that was a software guy from Oklahoma that could make a suggestion on how to do it, or anyone else for that matter willing to provide advise and support to such a project.

I would think that, regardless of whether you use physical tape or digital, that is going to generate far too much video for you to want to deal with. As far as using that to document the build: no examiner is going to want to sit through thousands of hours of video. I would think that if you wanted to use video to document it that you should consider the video camera as a digicam with benefits. Finish a piece, then film it while you explain what you did. A few minutes footage of your progress, and explanation of what you did for a given shot. I would still say you should take pictures and log your progress, in case something happens to your video. If your computer is XP, and not too old, you should be able to process video. I looked up the Dazzle, and unfortunately did not see much good about it. It may be a matter of buying a decent video capture card to install into your computer, so you can capture video at a usable quality from whatever source you choose. Shoot me an email if you want, and I will do my best to walk you through the computer side of this.

Well, after 3 months of on again, off again work I've successfully removed my fiberglass cowling from the male plug mold that I made. I laminated it up from 4 layers of fiberglass cloth using polyester resin, as described in the Tony Bingelis books, under the chapter "How to make a Fiberglass cowling, if you must". Now I know what ole Tony was talking about. It actually looks pretty nice and has some nice compound curves that would be impossible (for me) to duplicate in aluminum. What concerns me is it weighs 10 pounds. I have a J-3 aluminum cowl on my Baby Ace, and it only weighs about 2 pounds. The cub cowl is about 4 inches too short to fit my Piet, so that wasn't an option. I'll try to post a few pictures in the next few days, but what do you guys think about the weight?

I bought this thing called the Plextor Convert X about 5 years ago. You connect your analog video (VHS) into one set of connectors and get digital output for your computer. Not sure what type of tapes you have. I have a Canon video cam that uses small HD tapes. I can usually turn one of those tapes into video files in a couple hours. If you want, if you copy the tapes and they are are HD or VHS I can convert them to files and CDs or DVDs for you. ...for the sake of all the Brodhead enthusiasts. I bought the machine to make CDs of some video I had and really wished I used it more. It's a pretty handy thing for me to be hoarding. It's similar to the Dazzle thing but better.
