In it is an article about a diy starter for C-65's and 85's. It uses a Dewalt cordless drill and apparently works quite well. Something to think about with all these horror stories. Also around here you have to have a second person lined up ahead of time to prop for you at flyins as they won't let you do it on your lonesome. Clif I was always taught to respect my elders, But it keeps getting harder to find one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Verthein" > > > Plane takes off without pilot > > An aircraft took off on its own when the pilot could not get into the > cockpit in time after starting the propellor manually. > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:23:49 AM PST US From: "gcardinal" Subject: Pietenpol-List: 80th Anniversary OSH Fly-in update Here is an update on the 80th anniversary fly-in. Bill Rewey stopped at Waupun, WI (WI07) to investigate it as a potential stopover point. This airport is conveniently located for pilots flying the FISK arrival. It is a private airfield with a N-S paved runway and an E-W grass runway located about 15 miles south of Ripon. The owner is eager to have us stop there on our way to OSH. www.runwayfinder.com is a good site with active sectionals that can be used for flight planning. Here is the form for preordering the 2009 Oshkosh NOTAM: https://secure.eaa.org/airventure/notam_request.html Please order and study it.

Congratulations, Gardiner for finishing the Piet and for finally getting Matronics to accept your posts. You've got three months to fly off the time on your Piet and have it ready for Brodhead - should be plenty of time. Hope to see it (and you) there.

Jack, I am taxiing my piet now, but have not done the paper work yet. CG is in range and wt is 771 so far. I hope to have it ready for Brodhead but I am not going to push it as I still have my Cessna 140 tomake the trip.. Cheers, Gardiner. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gardiner Mason Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 7:55 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: slight course deviation to Brodhead/Oshkosh possible ?

Gardiner ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Phillips Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 3:24 PM Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: slight course deviation to Brodhead/Oshkosh possible ? Actually, the Appalachians rise about as high above the surrounding terrain as do the Rockies. Mount Mitchell, in western North Carolina is 6,684' above sea level, but the surrounding terrain is only 595' MSL, so it rises over 6,000' above its surroundings. The land around the Rockies is nearly 6,000' MSL, so only the peaks that are over 12,000' are truly "taller" than the highest peaks in the Appalachians. Density altitude is another matter entirely. Neither mountain range has a wealth of good forced landing sites. Here's typical terrain in the Blue Ridge on the way to Brodhead last year. At about this point in the trip, my GPS indicated I was making 27 knots, groundspeed. Jack Phillips Happy I don't have to get any higher than about 4500' to get to Brodhead. _____ From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Rick Holland Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 1:55 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: slight course deviation to Brodhead/Oshkosh possible ? 4000 ft. high "mounds of dirt" ain't mountains! href="http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List">http://www.matronic s.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List href="http://forums.matronics.com">http://forums.matronics.com href="http://www.matronics.com/contribution">http://www.matronics.com/c ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:52:15 AM PST US From: "Dortch, Steven D MAJ NG NG NGB" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: best place to buy turnbuckles Jorge, your name is obviously Spainish.

They wont post overseas so I need to order all that I need in one go Dan is a very nice fellow I think the 1/2 hour on the phone chatting would have cost about as much as 1 turnbuckle. He also said he would be at OSH.
