    Greg, that is the coolest picture. My first axel is just a bit short after I added brakes. I only have about 1.5 inches between the ash block and the brake. My next axel will have more like 3 inches. Of course my isn't flying like Greg's is so who knows if it will be right.

I assume we need to leave some space for the shock cord, but how much? I have the gear finished and bolted on, and I am ready to cut my axle to length. I just want to make sure I leave enough excess.

    Hi Gene, Mine has about a 6" gap between the ash V-Blocks and the wheel retainer (mine has hydraulic brakes). I wouldn't want it any tighter. Wrapping the bungees is about my least favorite part of maintaining the airplane. Here is a picture that shows that part of the gear pretty well.

    Subject: covering wing roots
    Guys, When the weather permits I'm going to spray my wings. I've left the wing roots open thinking I like seeing the inside for inspections. However, I got to wondering if a lot of rain water might find it's way into the wings under the gap covers. Should I cover the wing roots or is it no big deal, what have you guys done. Douwe

    It is the pilots curse that when in the air we want to get down and when down we want back up.There is a continual worry the whole time that one is up there of all the things that can or could go wrong.It keeps you on your toes but makes for many grey hairs.

Years ago, as a student pilot, I went out for a solo cross-country in the Colt we owned back then. The weather people were calling 10 kt with minor gusts. I got the Colt off the ground, and the moment it was over the trees started fighting to keep the wings facing up. Over the next 45 minutes or so, my left shoulder felt bruised, and my head hit the liner two or three times despite a well-cinched belt. I pretty much forgot about where I was going until what should have been two-thirds of the way through the flight. (This did not worry me much, as I was heading north out of Keene, NH, and there wasn't any controlled airspace to worry about until much farther than I intended to go.) Then I recognized the airport below, about 40 degrees off course. I thought for a minute or so about aiming for my original destination and decided just to head home. I later learned that gusts had tipped my instructor's Warrior into a 90-degree bank twice in a 20-mile flight. It seemed exciting at the time. The point being that I've never been more relieved to get back on the ground in an airplane that was still working. (Not that I have all that much air time, alas!) But no sooner had I tied it down and begun walking to the car than I was looking up at the sky, which suddenly was bright blue instead of dark overcast, wishing that it were a nicer day to fly and I could get back into the air.

    From: "Phillips, Jack" <Jack.Phillips@cardinalhealth.com>
    Douwe, I covered mine primarily to make it a little more difficult for mice and mud-daubers to move in. I have a 2" gap between the wing and the centersection which is covered by an aluminum fairing, held in place with about 900 sheet metal screws. It is a pain to take those fairings off, and it really doesn't allow inspection of anything interesting except the main spar attach bolts. You can't see much through a 2" gap. Here is a picture of the plane when I was rigging it in the hangar before its first flight, with the wing root fairings off. You can see how little actual useful inspection room is available.

    Years ago when I was still a student pilot I took off solo in the Super Cub into a head wind so strong that when I turned downwind I met myself still taking off. By the time I turned final and got back on the ground I had enough hours for an ATP license... Fred B. La Crosse, WI

    Hi Guys, A lot of times when I go up I purposely try to imagine myself one of the Wright brothers when they began to have some more successful flights from Huffman Prairie outside Dayton. How they must have felt being the first human beings to feel and see these sensations and being able to see the world from the great perspective of the sky looking down. When I saw the photo posted yesterday (or Tues) by Greg Cardinal looking down and through his straight axle gear I was reminded of this. We are a privileged lot!

    I spend a lot of my time looking for places to land just in case.A bunch of short periods are for sight seeing.A lot short periods to make sure all is with the aircraft.A few to look at the gps,a few to look at a knee map,a few to;well you get the picture.I can only imagine that those guys spent most of their time being very busy at the whole thing of control at first and only after many ,many flights did they get into the sight seeing thing.Not to mention those few moments of sheer terror with the unknown.I think I was on a ride at the amusement park called the BAT that may have been somewhat like that.

    As they say, The only thing worse than standing on the ground looking up at the sky and saying "I wish I was up there, is being up in the sky, looking down at the ground and saying "I sure wish I was down there!". I work very hard to worry about my plane and myself while we're on the ground, so I don't have to worry while I'm in the air. Gene

    And daughter #2...... Last year I flew her 130 miles to her friend's summer home in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Her friends were waiting at the airport when we landed. All of her friends treated her like a rock star and my status was instantly raised to "Coolest Dad on the Planet" Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: pietflyr To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 9:09 PM Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: spreader bar gear question Lord, Greg!

    You need two, one for each wheel. My center section is temporarily fitted. After having a fuselage with nothing above it for so long, it feels quite different with this big thing sitting above it. Engine noises now have a whole new feeling.
