Tell you what though, since we are such good mates, why don't you pack it up and send it to me, I'll hide it for you and nobody will ever know about it. You might as well throw in any of thoes wheels you have laying around and I'll hide them for you aswell. And don't worry, I wont charge you a dime for my troubles either, all you have to do is pay the shipping. Charley P.S. Please make sure and include the wings, they, umm, will make it easier to hide, yea, thats it.

Tom, There is a steel tube Pietenpol/GN-1 (not sure which) at the airport just South of Rosemun on the West side of Edwards AFB. It is owned by Scott Liefelt (spelling may be wrong). It is a very nice one and Scott was very friendly to talk to. Check at the local FBO as they know him and can tell you how to contact Scott.

This might seem like a dumb question, but I've just installed a new tach cable purchased from Aircraft Spruce. Does the inner cable need any additional lubricant? I'm assuming it comes lubricated but there are some bends in it getting from the engine back to the tach in the back pit. If additional lubrication will extend the life of that inner cable, now would be the time to do it. If so, any recommendations on the lube to use. I've seen some low temp.

Several years back I witnessed an O-200 powered Piet do an "intersection departure" from Fox during a fly-in event. Although it's not unusual for anyone to do an intersection departure, what was unusual about this one was that the intersection itself was all that was used. I have photos somewhere, but it was before I went digital, so I'd have to find the shoe box and scan them if I wanted to share them with the group- like THAT will ever happen. :-) Pat _____ From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of TOM STINEMETZE Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 11:35 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Anyone near Mojave?

(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC Aerospace Corporation]" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Tach cable lubrication? Matt Paxton & group, Congratulations on getting your registration and making progress on your Pietenpol project. You've hung in there--way to go. On New Year's Day, 2000 a few of us wanted to see if our airplanes were Y2K compliant and decided to go flying to make sure. The OAT was 8F with sunny skies and about 2" of fresh snow on the ground. After preheating a few planes (Cub, Piet, J-2) we all flew for a few minutes around the pattern. On climb-out my tach went from 2200 rpm to zero but thankfully the engine was running like a charm. My tach cable broke in the sheath so upon ordering a new cable (thanks to ASS's (Aircraft Spruce & Specialty) Lake Havasu, AZ facility it only took weeks and weeks and phone calls and more phone calls to get my replacement to arrive via Pony Express, steam train, wagon train, and carrier piegeons) I lubricated it with Amzoil synthetic grease and so far it has worked like a charm though I've not tested it at temperatures below about 45 F since that fine day in 2000.
