Jeff was very nice answering all my questions and he made me feel very welcome and not quite so dumb. Jeff gave me lots of pointers and lots of good ideas. Jeff's Pietenpol is very clean and his prop (that he made) is a work of art, it should be in a gallery it is so beautiful. Again Jeff Thanks so much for letting me come and look and I look forward to my next visit.

Used to fly my dad's Aeronca Champ on skis all winter. It wasn't warm but bet it was warmer than flying a Piet in the winter. Nice looking Piet and ski installation. Cheers, Jim B. > [b] Thanks Jim Been through Watertown numerous times, (at least down the interstate) I'm not sure how flying the Piet in the winter will be but will have to pick a warmer day, hopefully around the freezing mark, don't suppose it can be worst then driving a snow machine at 80 mph. Did a lot of ski flying in C-IHJX which had a good heater in it. Great way to get around to do some ice fishing where no one else has been. That's my buddy showing off his fish. Tough to beat a Champ or Cub on skis. Do you own a Piet? -------- Adrian M Winnipeg, MB Canada Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=361149#361149 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_0159_703.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_0150_175.jpg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:49:52 PM PST US From: Jim Boyer Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: A few pics of today's cold flight Hi Adrian, I am building a PIet.

One thing I would be sure to do is to somehow make sure air can't come shooting up your pants legs, because it will. If you don't have drawstrings or can't tuck the legs of your pants into your boots, wrapping with duct tape would be advised if you'll be in the air any length of time. Just my observation on the Texas version of "cold weather" flying.

Jim B. do not archive Thanks for the Christmas wishes and I extend the same to you and your family. FYI I have a Corvair engine that I acquired with a Piet project years ago of which I have no use. It sits under my work bench in boxes collecting dust. If it interests you, it has a bunch of new parts and a hub etc. Also have the engine mount. It is basically a give away so if you happen to be up this way or someone you know and you want it contact me offline Do not archive > [b] -------- Adrian M Winnipeg, MB Canada Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=361162#361162 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/engine_3_811.jpg ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 04:06:11 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Center Section Mounted!

Among the materials that Corky relieved himself of was a building table upon which he constructed two other Piet airframes (I believe). Anyway, we took that table home to San Antonio with us along with enough raw stock to construct a complete Piet fuselage with plywood sides, wing spars, and rib stock. Last Saturday, Dec. 10, I loaded up that building table and all the raw stock along with everything else in my hangar in San Antonio except for Scout (who will have to wait till spring 2012 to fly back up here to Oregon with me) and spent the last week driving from Texas to Oregon and just this weekend unloaded everything and got the building table all set up, along with tools and materials. I hereby lay claim to the Air Camper building table with the most miles on it: 2,540 miles. Picture attached, showing the table in its new location under my temporary "aircraft factory". Very faintly visible on the plywood are the outlines, in pencil, of the Improved Air Camper fuselage framing along with various pencil notes that Corky has made. I'm happy to own this piece of Pietenpol construction history. -------- Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX Air Camper NX41CC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=361186#361186 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/p1010037_179.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
