True enough, some of those guys really enjoy the power of killing your ticket for medical. Having been exposed to one of those jerks first hand I know what that's all about. Rule, know your doc Rule, don't volunteer information that is not relevant Rule, consider carefully what you say about your medical condition and history, the way you word a response can make all the difference in the world Any wrinkle or discussion topic is fare game for failure so don't ask questions about specific medical conditions that points a finger of suspicion in your direction.

Eastern Daylight Time, jboatri@emory.edu writes: I don't think an FAA med examiner has to report anything if you're not officially applying for a Medical. If he does find something as part of a non-FAA examination, he might suggestion remedies to you, he may even remind you that IF this HAD been an oh-ficial exam, that he would have had to 'bust' you. However, I don't think he has any responsibility to report anything to the FAA outside of the results of an official FAA medical examination. To the contrary, it is the pilot's responsibility to make a decision every time he or she goes flying. There was an article published in a recent AOPA Pilot, or EAA Sport Aviation, or somewhere, that suggested that you go to your regular family doc, not an FAA examiner, and have him put you through the FAA tests. If you have no problems, then immediately schedule an FAA exam. If you do have concerns, either get them addressed or go SP (which means - just let your Medical lapse). On that note, most docs that do medicals also have 'regular' practices. Can you go to the doc and ask him to give you a physical identical to the FAA medical but not actually fill out the paperwork for a medical - and then if you pass it, do it (and pay for it) again the next day, on the record? Or is it that if an FAA medical examiner knows you hold a medical and he finds something wrong he has to report it even though you weren't officially there for a medical?

I go to an FAA medical examiner (highly recommended by local pilots). Before you even fill out the application, you see that there is a BIG sign on the receptionist's counter that says that if you have ANY reservations about your ability to pass, to NOT sign or date the application before you have had a chance to talk to the doctor. I did just that, last time I was in there, because I had a bad stomach ulcer 7 months prior, which I was transported to the hospital via ambulance. I had a grueling 5-day hospital stay with all kinds of upper GI scopes and transfusions, medication etc. When I finally got into his office, he did a thorough research on the FAA Medical Examiners websight discovering EXACTLY what would be required in order for me to obtain a 3rd class medical. Long story short, there are some FAA docs out there that would give you the heads-up if you were about to fail, so that you had the choice to go Light Spor t before the hammer came down. This guy will be my Doc for all my flying carrer going forward. You just have to find the right guy. Dan Helsper Poplar Grove, IL. P.S. Praise God my wife was home at the time, otherwise I would have been dead for sure.

I used that list to inventory my wood package this afternoon and found that everything was accounted for. In fact, I ended up with a couple of extra pieces... 1 - 1"x1"x7' the list calls for 1, I have 2 2 - 3/16"x1/2"x6' the list calls for 7, I have 9 2 - 3/16"x1/2"x4' the list calls for 7, I have 9 Mr. McKinley's list states "Pietenpol Air Camper Original"... I wonder if this may be an indication of materials needed for the original (standard) fuse, whereas maybe the additional pieces included in the AS&S package allow for the long fuse. Anyone know if this is the case? All things accounted for, I don't believe that the leading or trailing edges for the wing are included, and I'm not sure that the wing tip bows are either. Inventory was the easy part... now I get to try and figure out which pieces are used for the different assemblies. Any other tips out there?

I went to AS&S in Peachtree City,Ga to pick up my wood package and 4130. I came back by Gardner's hangar I had a great time and really enjoyed drooling over his Pietenpol. It is all but ready to fly. Very nice Corvair installation. I didn't stay long as there was some weather moving in and I wanted to get home ahead of it.

My son was with me and I thought he was taking picture but he was drooling on the airplane too. I didn't get a picture of him or the whole airplane. I think those 3 pictures was all I got. My wife gave me WHAT FOR about it too! -------- Jerry Dotson 59 Daniel Johnson Rd Baker, FL 32531 Started building NX510JD July, 2009 Ribs all done using Lycoming O-235 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=261791#261791 ________________________________ Message 22 ____________________________________ Time: 06:42:13 PM PST US From: airlion Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Visit to Gardner Mason's hangar Jerry' Thanks for the very nice comments you made about me and my Piet.
