To all recieving this email, My name is Shad Bell, and this email is sent to all aviation enthusiast I know. I live on a grass airport community in central Ohio and the power company (Consolidated Electric Co-Op) is trying to run 70+ ft power lines directly over the top of the runway thresh hold. After being notified of this problem by the airport (runway) owner , I believe he said other than right of way by the township there is no easement yet for the side of my property or the runway ( I live on a corner lot and the runway comes out to the side street). This will effectivly shorten our runway about 1/3 from 3000 to 2000 ft. With no warning I have survey steaks and pins driven in my yard and back accross the runway. To all of you who have any experiance with this "Bully the small guy" stuff I am looking for advise on stoping the power company from destroying this airport. Eventually someone is going to get killed from hitting a electric line 70 ft above a runway here, (or nobody will be able to f ly out of here anymore) . Is there any hope of stoping this from happening. Should I contact EAA, and can they help, AOPA? This airport has been here for 30+ years and now it looks like some a--hole with $$$$$ is going to tell me too bad so sad, and thanks for paying your electric bill on time every month. Please feel free to let me know any and all options we can fight this with.

I know when I was using Marvel in my Piper engine it was on advice from an aircraft mechanic because of the lack of lead in cargas.but the avgas should give all the valve protection you'd need I'd think.have you looked into the ports to see if it is carbon buildup?Raymond Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=234655#234655 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 08:31:35 AM PST US From: Oscar Zuniga Subject: Pietenpol-List: manuals for free download Rob asked- >Has anyone ever written a "How To" manual for >the Pietenpol Air Camper? Sure. Bernard Pietenpol went through a narrative on building the Air Camper in the Flying & Glider Manuals. In addition to that=2C the Pietenpol family offers a construction manual with that same narrative plus a host of other information such as frequently asked questions=2C info learned since the early days of the Piet=2C and useful tips. If you're looking for a "Insert Tab A into Slot B" type of manual though=2C you won't find it. That's the beauty of building a Piet. It's like sitting down to your dining room table and emptying out all the pieces to a big=2C beautiful jigsaw puzzle of Cherry Grove=2C Minnesota on the table and then just sorting it out bit by bit. I always start a jigsaw puzzle by finding the four corner pieces=2C next I find all the edge pieces=2C then I just go from there=2C working on a new and interesting part every day until I just can't seem to make any progress there=2C then I start on another area of the puzzle and work on it for a while. Building a Piet is the same way =3Bo) And with this jigsaw puzzle=2C you'll find a little bit of Mr. Pietenpol's airplane and barn in every piece...

Today I got a number of sticky valves loose in a 200 HP Ranger with a heavier 200:1 in the fuel. It does work well. Pieti Lowell Is that 400:1 in the crankcase oil or 400:1 in the fuel tank?

From: Ryan Mueller Private or public, your field is "registered" (unsure of the proper term) with the FAA, to the point that it shows up as an airport on a sectional. When it comes to issues affecting flight/airport safety, it should not matter whether you are a private or public airport; you are an airport either way, I would think.
