John,
I live in Camden, Tenn. Camden is half way between Memphis and
Nashville. Turn off I 40 at exit 126 and go North on 641 about 15
miles. Randy Bush lives just East of Jackson (about exit 91) and has a
very nice corvair powered Pietenpol. Would love to meet you and show
you my Piet and I'm sure Randy would too. My # is 731-336-6893 and
Randy's is 731-441-9164. Just talked with Randy and he said for you to
give him a call and if he is in the area he would love to show you his
bird.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Gene

Just stumbled across a link on the Flybaby website that is
likely of interest to Pietenpol builders who are using traditional
aircraft engines for their powerplants. This site has lots of manuals
for Continental and Lycoming engines, as well as accessories and lots of
other good stuff. And they're all free downloads. Here's the link:

Shad,
I'm sure you know this, but time is extremely important here. If they have already
done a survey of the underground utilities, they may be about to start construction.
It is extremely important to get this changed before they put the
poles in the ground at the runway, once they've spent money there it will be
very hard to get them to undo this.
I would contact the FAA as indicated by someone else, and AOPA. You may have to
push the FAA, call as many offices as you can, and call the local FSDO. Keep
talking to them until you find someone willing to help, that is probably the
key.
Check the Electric Co's website. Try to find contact information for the engineers
they have designing this thing. Somewhere they have engineers deciding if
this thing will be buried or overhead. Let them know that there are issues
with what they are proposing. Cite other FAA rulings that prevented such towers
from being built (even if you don't have detailed information). This is key
as if the engineer thinks he is about to screw something up that will cost the
company money, he may be willing to change their design. Let them know that
a lawsuit is intended if they move forward. They are infringing on and reducing
the value of as well as your ability to use your property, OUTSIDE of any
right of way that would be issued. As someone stated before, simply routing
the lines underground for a short length, maybe 150', would prevent this. The
utility could do this, and I would guess the additional cost would be somewhere
in the $10k to $20k range, maybe less, to bury the lines.

As a last resort, if they aren't cooperating, you may see if you can get a group
of pilots or property owners at the airport to come up with money as a partial
payment to bury the lines. I know that isn't right or fair, but as a last
resort, it would beat having your runway ruined. $5k to $10k might be enough
to entice the utility to change their mind.

Shad,
Having read through the replies, you are on the right track, A couple of
things I thought of.
I don't know how Ohio is, but in the state of Iowa, any utility must have
an easement both temporary for construction and permanent for maintenance,
if the Owner of the airfield owns the entire strip then they should have
to obtain his/her signature for the easement, if that person refuses to
sign, then they will have to pursue eminent domain, which is not a quick
process.
Also contact the County Engineer to find out when the project was approved
by the County board of Supervisors. If they are doing preliminary survey
work, then they should contact home owners prior to entering their
property, unless they have an easment, or a court order, otherwise it's
trespassing.
Also dont' be affarid to question them when they are on the airfield or
your property,
Jake

Shad,
You'll find a lot of essential information and ,hopefully, valuable
assistance from the Office of Aviation in the Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT). Go to the website - www.dot.state.oh.us and
click on the aviation icon. Then under Aviation Links, click on ODOT
Office of Aviation. There you will find a link to Airports which and
further links to laws and regulations regarding Airspace Protection
(Tall Structures). Of particular interest will be whether a permit has
been applied for - see Ohio Revised Code 4561.33 Application for
permit. You might find help and support through the Ohio Aviation
Association ( www.ohioaviation.org ) and should probably join it. To
quote from the pop up caption under the Aviation icon on the ODOT
Homepage, "As home to the Wright Brothers, Ohio has long been known as
the 'Birthplace of Aviation'." With that in mind, I think you are
likely to succeed.

It is quite a bit more expensive to go underground. It requires different cable,
continuous trenches take a lot more digging than pole holes, and most power
companies' (particularly rural) maintenance facilities are already very well equipped
to install and maintain wires on poles but are not very well equipped
to install and maintain underground cables. If not required by some enforcement
action to go underground, they will set poles and string wires.

Shad, =0A=0AYou have a utility engineer lurking in your midst. I have worke
d on this issue for my utility and I think I can provide some incite. If yo
ur airport is registered with the FAA (and it sounds like it is) any constr
uction that would impede air traffic must be submitted to the FAA for appro
val. I have attached the form that the utility would have to fill out and s
end to the FAA. Many utilities don't know that they need to do this and the
FAA does not actively enforce it so it is up to us to keep them honest.
=0A=0AFirst I would provide this form to the utility and inform them of the
ir responsibility. Ask for the Field Engineer or Staker in charge or this j
ob.-If that doesn't work go to the manager of Engineering. Then I would r
ecommend that you contact the FAA's regional office. They would be the ones
who analyze the forms submitted.=0A=0AIf the utility chose to go ahead wit
h the line they must submit the form to the FAA. The FAA then checks to see
if it impedes air traffic, in this case it does. They some times will requ
ire the line to be marked with balls or lights but in this case they would
probably not allow construction. In any case I would try and file a formal
complaint that would be used when the FAA looks at the form. =0A=0AMy utili
ty is a Co-op also and we try to be very accomidating to our membership. I
hope that you find them easy to work with. Remind them that they are member
owned and that the members at the airport won't hesitate to go to the Co-o
p board if nessisary.-=0A=0AGood Luck,=0A=0ACharlie Tracy=0A=0A=0A=0A____

The other thing that most do not understand, is that if they do go undergro
und the rates for their customers need to go up to pay for the additional c

and need to roll those costs into the rate base.=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A____________

We have a situation much like this at our local Embrum air strip just outsi
de Ottawa Canada.What they did was put marker balls(huge big plastic balls
in red and white) on the cables.What most of us do is fly in then drop down
quick and land.The alternative is to fly under them(not recommended).Our a
irspeed in a Piet isn't that fast that it's going to make that much differe
nce however faster aircraft may have problems.It may be possible to come in
and fly parallel to the cables till you come to the strip and then turn an
d drop down sort of the same way a Spitfire comes in to a field because the
y have that long nose.Most of the time,once these utility companies have ma
de up their minds that they are going a certain way,it's really hard to tur
n them around or away.Sort of like fighting City Hall-.That's my take on
it for what it's worth.Good luck!=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A___________________________

Bikemike's comments are absolutely right, but:
the utility is infringing upon the use of the airfield, which puts them in a bad
legal situation in many respects, as well as creating a hazard to aviation,
a liability no-no.
they have a prospective PR nightmare on their hands if the owner and pilots band
together and raise a ruckus.
the utility must bury plant all the time in subdivisions or cities that require
that. They don't like to do it, for the labor, process, and materials are more
costly and time-consuming.
As a compromise position after some other steps have failed , the airport management
might offer to either pay for or contract to execute the trench at the locus
of the intended pole line. The electric co-op would provide, place and install
the two terminals, the conduit, etc. In Ohio you are likely talking a
trencher. Here in TX, west of I-35, the 9 ft. dia. rock saw required rents for
over $1000 a day.
I have advised Shad off-board of a number of steps to take both in parallel and
sequentially (progressively more adversial steps).
The advice and the contacts of all the members of this board, as usual have been
excellent. Shad has all the elements of a great game plan. Of course, a lot
depends upon the position and attitude of the utility.
Good luck, Shad. Keep us posted.

continuous trenches take a lot more digging than pole holes, and most power
companies' (particularly rural) maintenance facilities are already very well
equipped to install and maintain wires on poles but are not very well equipped
to install and maintain underground cables. If not required by some enforcement
action to go underground, they will set poles and string wires.

Shad,
Before you "release the dogs of war" on the electric co-op, ask Oscar for a pic
of his "gunsight." The "Pietenpol Avenger" or "Pietenpol Devastator"? Remember
to to dive more steeply and release payload higher than you might think ;)

I hung mine up from the ceiling as well, but I varnished them first to seal

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Bare wood wing storage
I hung my newly finished right wing up in the gargage flat against the wall
. It is just a bare wood wing. (no cover, no cables) The garrage is attache
d to the house but no heat/cooling. Curious if this is an all right environ
ment to-store the wing as I build the left one and fuselage? Our garage i
s-only used for our cars and is kept quite clean. (no lawn equip., toys,
tools, etc.)

Subject: | Bare wood wing storage |
My first wing, after varnish was hung on my basement ceiling. The wood
for that wing had been in the heated basement for two years. The other
day when getting ready to store my second wing I noticed quite a few
loose bolts on the first one. I had no idea the wood dried out and
shrunk that much after storing in the controlled atmosphere.

Amen to that, if they surveyed across your property without an easement or
your permission, feel free to remove the ILLEGAL survey stakes after you take
pictures then contact law enforcement to pursue trespassing charges.

Dealt with this crap at my airpark for a water line, they tried to push me
into a easement through a certified letter including playing stupid with me and
when asked for compensation you should have heard him sputter. .
This was 5 years ago and still no water line.

Shad,
Having read through the replies, you are on the right track, A couple of
things I thought of.
I don't know how Ohio is, but in the state of Iowa, any utility must have an
easement both temporary for construction and permanent for maintenance, if
the Owner of the airfield owns the entire strip then they should have to
obtain his/her signature for the easement, if that person refuses to sign, then
they will have to pursue eminent domain, which is not a quick process.
Also contact the County Engineer to find out when the project was approved
by the County board of Supervisors. If they are doing preliminary survey
work, then they should contact home owners prior to entering their property,
unless they have an easment, or a court order, otherwise it's trespassing.
Also dont' be affarid to question them when they are on the airfield or your
property,
Jake
