Subject: | Re: Newbie from SW Kansas |
Mark, We were down there on Saturday and missed the burger bash. We became aware
of Roger's Piet when we were leaving and did spend a few minutes looking at
it.
JM, Tentatively, We plan to be there Sat morning July 10th for a final inspection
and to take care of the paper work. Then to it's new home it goes. :)
If your around come on by.
I did consider building one. But after just finishing a two year Chevelle body
off restoration I'm wore out and would rather just be flying.

Subject: | Cluttered archives |
AW-W-W-W, c'mon, guys........help out Mr. Draille and all of the new Piet guys
who actually go to the archives to get info. If all you are going to say is
something like,"Wow, great picture", or "I did mine that way, too", or "Golly
gee-whiz, I can't wait to get to Brodhead", PLEEEEEZ put a DO NOT ARCHIVE tag on
your post so it doesn't take up space in the archives. Many posts should
probably go directly to the interested party instead of the entire group,
anyway.
My pittance of a rant for the third quarter of 2010.
Y'all have fun at Brodhead, I'll be there next year.
Get a model "A".
Don't use staples or nails, use weights.
If you're going to needle J.M., get on him about his lack of
building........maybe we should out-source his project so he can get into the
air before he needs a walker.
"A little less talk and a lot more action" could be the byword for this group.

Strange noises? I thought it was some horns tooting. Apparently it was some other
kind of tooting. Here's hoping the wind is blowing in a favorable direction.

Wikipedia says that NPT, national pipe thread, is synonymous with MPT,
male pipe thread, so you're both correct.
Are you sure it's a 1/8" and not a 1/4" fitting?
I'm not sure what the builder used to seal the fittings into the
instruments, but dang! they are in there tight. It looks like some sort
of black gunk. Maybe he used epoxy, but I hope not.
Thanks!

DO archive because I'm personally very impressed with everything I have to say

sorry, I couldn't help myself...
It's 1/8" on all of my instruments.

I would really hate that especially if it were the all application and
plumbers friend pipe dope. That stuff is awful to clean up, does a great job
of sealing but nasty to remove, clean up or open pipe that's been sitting
for some time.

I got a copy of the July BPA newsletter from Doc Mosher today, and there

will be famous at Brodhead now. We'll be there Friday morning, but tell

Outstanding ! Sounds wonderful and looks great. Congrats and
hope to see Papa Mike's plane at Brodhead, 2011.
So Mike Cushway sold this one right or are you Mike Cushway ? I know Mike
sold
his partially completed Sky Scout to Earl Myers which eventually made it to Dennis
(can't think of his last name)
at Bhead who eventually flew it but not sure about Mike's Air Camper project.

I know what is wrong with Larry Williams. He's not coming to Brodhead thi
s year after the FANTASTIC 80th anniversary event we had
last year and he's a bit crabby about it but I have to agree with Larry on
ALL of his points. Great list Larry. My favorite was a little less
talk and a lot more action. Sounds like a country western song:)
Another reason Larry is crabby is that he doesn't have one of those trendy
signature tag lines that have become somewhat popular
or some kind of mission statement after his name that takes longer to read
than his actual post.
We'll try to help you out Larry. I'll give a shot at making you feel les
s pitiful even though you're not. Try this one on.

light simulators, Going where no man has gone and going there

Mike,
I am Mike Cushway. I bought the Sky Scout from Earl and several years later sold
it to Dennis Hall. It is now in a museum out in Washington State. I started
the Air Camper in 1997, sold it to Dick Walling during a divorce and then bought
it back( thanx to my new bride!) in 2008.
I am aiming for Brodhead 2011! Splitting my time between my 1938 Taylorcraft restoration
and the Piet. Flying the Cub this year....see ya there!

Ah Yes. Reminds me of a T-Shirt I almost bought in Lindsborg, KS ("Little
Sweden USA"). It pictured a man sitting in a restaurant with a waiter
looking over his shoulder. The man asked; "Waiter, what is that fly doing
in my lutefisk?" and the waiter answers; "Gagging." Actually, lutefisk is
usually Cod fish which has been dried out to the consistency of a board.
(Possibly usable in lieu of spruce?) It is said that you can lean a
lutefisk plank up against the front porch all winter and the wild animals
will avoid your yard. It is then reconstituted by soaking in a solution
of lye water before cooking. YUM!

Here's some advice for all of you attending Brodhead for the first time, and
looking for your 1st ride in a Piet. I'm giving you plenty of time to
practice.
Stand in front of the mirror and work on that hang-dog, forlorn, dejected
countenance.you know.the one you used to use when your girl friend said,
"NO."
Some nice pilot will come along, like Greg Cardinal, and ask you if you want
to go for a ride that you will never forget!

Yes, they sell tickets. We promptly purchased tickets for both meals as soon as
we arrived... had no idea what the meals were really about, but I'll just say
that I had to take the wife and kiddo to McDonalds after dinner. We like things
like fried catfish, lightly battered crappie, etc., but that boiled fish ball
wasn't our cut of tea.
On the other hand, the pork chop dinner on Saturday night was great!

Subject: | for the record-- there is FISH on Friday at Brodhead only |
I was totally KIDDING about there being brats served by the Brodhead organizers
on
Friday night of the fly-in.
Friday night they are NOT serving brats but FISH. I was joking about the brats
at the end
of Runway 9.
I don't want the organizers of this fine event to have a bunch of people asking
about brats
when there absolutely won't be any served in the chow hangar. It will be boiled
fish and I
heard it is just delicious---like going to Red Lobster but only better.
Unless you bring your own brats, steaks, fajitas, or waffles, they are serving
fish on Friday
at Brodhead.
The breakfasts are pretty good there......makes me hungry thinking about it.
Those volunteers
REALLY bust their butts, empty trash all over the airport--they do a zillion things
for us to make
it such a carefree event.

Ryan is right. A fish boil is definitely not Lutefisk. It's a tradition out of
Door County, which is above Green Bay on the peninsula. Whitefish is usually
the fish used, and as I recall, they throw in red potatoes and onions. The
Brodhead bunch do a great job with the meal.
A brat on the other hand is a hotdog on steroids.
All right, enough of the cooking class. Back to the Pietenpols. Immediately!
Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph!

Insofar as getting to the airport, Google Maps or any of the popular online
mapping resources can map you a route if you search for directions to:
Brodhead Airport
Brodhead, WI
I took the liberty of extracting the map page from an old MAAC newsletter
from a couple years ago. This is a general map of the grounds as they were
setup for the MAAC fly-in in September of that year:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2314248/brodheadmap.jpg
To those that will use this, please note: this is just to give you an idea
of how the airport is laid out. This is not official for this year's
Piet/Hatz fly-in. There is always the possibility that things could be
slightly rearranged, or slightly different. :P (although it will probably
be setup pretty close to this)

You asked about events on Saturday, forgot about that. There will be various

BPA newsletter. Our issue hasn't showed up yet, so maybe one of the lucky
dogs that already has theirs can post up the schedule.
Other than that it is just hang out and enjoy!

Mike: I can tell by the blur of the prop haze, that you are a copy-cat, Douwe's
Ford had the very same prop blur, I want to thank you for your help and input
during Douwe's Engine test.
Did you try full throttle yet ?Bet you can not turn up the RPM's that Douwes did.
But maybe close, all that it takes is 1800.
You are on the right track, keep chugging.
See you at Brodhead Mike.

Lowell,
I was going to give you a call tomorrow. If you have some time next week some evening
stop by to look things over. I can not get above 1100rpm without it running
extremely rich....almost like it is choking out. This is the "B" carb that
I rebuilt. I am not sure what is wrong. As you may know the Zenith "B" has an
accelerator circuit based on throttle shaft position. I am building the carb
heat muff tomorrow. I have a great idle at 700rpm, anything less and it wants
to quit.
