Had to put all the airplanes away. I can't take a chance, especially at this stage. Worked all day on her, re-strung shock cords because the axles were saggin g. Fabricated and installed on/off/fuel capacity placard on the fuel valve . Fabricated and installed baggage capacity placard (5 lbs). Applied red lines to water temp and airspeed gauges. Drilled holes in fuel tank acces s panel and installed. Re-torqued cylinder head in Model A (do those bolts stretch? seemed to loosen up from 1-1/2 years ago). Only a couple of thi ngs left to do, put red line on tach, install throttle "open-closed" marki ngs, install ELT. The rest is just paperwork for the FAA. I need to get together some kind of "builder's log". I have a stack of receipts, and ph otos. This is going to have to do. I am going to call the FAA today to see what I have to do to get an inspection scheduled. Can't believe I am runn ing out of things "to do". What markings do I have to put on/near fuel tan k filler?

(And, Yes, there really is a "Frazier Lake" seaplane base for all you amphib Pietenpolers!). This event was held in unison with Frazier Lake's monthly Display Day, making it possible to see and visit with airplanes and owners of some really cool stuff. We actually had 3 flying Piets, 2 of which all of you Brodheaders have seen (#.1554, Pietenpols as far as you can see.). Special thanks to Mike Groah for helping to organize the event, and extra special thanks to Charlie Miller and his wonderful wife and family for hosting EVERYTHING! Personally great for me, was to have my son Ryan go up with Charlie in Ryan's first open cockpit ride (#...1108). Ryan is the good looking guy on the right. He is smiling for obvious reasons. Charlie is the dashing pilot on the left. Charlie is smiling because he just saved, with masterful piloting skills, his beautiful Pietenpol from a near catastrophic landing from a x-wind gust. To our great enjoyment, and making it a truly sanctioned Pietenpol event, we were blessed with the ubiquitous JIM MARKLE!! Since WE are neophytes when it comes to Piet gatherings, and our conversations sometimes stray from the point of the whole affair, Jim has the notorious special talent of steering the conversation back to Pietenpols, and how these little airplanes add to the meaning of life. I'm sure there is no connection, but after Jim had left, on Sunday morning, one of the local hanger owners wandered over to our camping area and asked if anyone had seen his air compressor.seems it was 'lost.' I assured him that these kinds of events are common at Piet gatherings, and that I was sure that the air compressor wasn't really 'lost'..

It looks better to me a little higher, and Ive seen some really raised. Also, I have all of my seat parts cut and I want to install them, but I'm wondering about seat belt and shoulder harness locations.

From: Ryan Mueller Yes they do. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/capstrip.php Look at the table: 1/4" thick, then go over to 1/2" wide, $0.32 per lineal foot, part number 02-11700. Figure out how many feet you need and enter that in the quantity, and then specify the length you want each piece cut in the special instructions box below if you are going to order online. Personally, I would just call them up and give them that part number for 1/4"x1/2" spruce capstrip and explain exactly how much you want and how you want it cut to avoid any errors. If I recall correctly, 500 feet cut into 6 foot lengths should be sufficient. Check the archives to be sure, or maybe someone else can chime in. Don't forget to order your plywood and adhesive.

It was a pleasure to actually see a Piet fly (always new they did, just hadn't seen one in the air). I uploaded the pictures of the event I took to an unlisted Google album, so browse over an have a look at the fun! http://picasaweb.google.com/RobertsChristmas2007/WestCoastPietGatheringJune5 2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCMWf8fffsvW-bg &feat=directlink Many thanks to Charlie and his wife for all of the work involved in making the day a great event!

(And, Yes, there really is a "Frazier Lake" seaplane base for all you amphib Pietenpolers!). This event was held in unison with Frazier Lake's monthly Display Day, making it possible to see and visit with airplanes and owners of some really cool stuff. We actually had 3 flying Piets, 2 of which all of you Brodheaders have seen (#.1554, Pietenpols as far as you can see.). Special thanks to Mike Groah for helping to organize the event, and extra special thanks to Charlie Miller and his wonderful wife and family for hosting EVERYTHING! Personally great for me, was to have my son Ryan go up with Charlie in Ryan's first open cockpit ride (#...1108). Ryan is the good looking guy on the right. He is smiling for obvious reasons. Charlie is the dashing pilot on the left. Charlie is smiling because he just saved, with masterful piloting skills, his beautiful Pietenpol from a near catastrophic landing from a x-wind gust. To our great enjoyment, and making it a truly sanctioned Pietenpol event, we were blessed with the ubiquitous JIM MARKEL!! Since WE are neophytes when it comes to Piet gatherings, and our conversations sometimes stray from the point of the whole affair, Jim has the notorious special talent of steering the conversation back to Pietenpols, and how these little airplanes add to the meaning of life. I'm sure there is no connection, but after Jim had left, on Sunday morning, one of the local hanger owners wandered over to our camping area and asked if anyone had seen his air compressor.seems it was 'lost.' I assured him that these kinds of events are common at Piet gatherings, and that I was sure that the air compressor wasn't really 'lost'.. Sorry, I did a poor job of photo essaying everything, and am hoping some of my fellow builders did a better job! Gary Boothe Cool, Ca.
