Here is a poem my Dad had in his shop while building his Pietenpol, and Cor
vair and is now in my shop where I am building my airplane.

It Couldn't Be Done---By Edgar A. Guest
-
Somebody said it couldn't be done'
But he with a chuckle replied
That "Mabe it couldn't", but he would be one who wouldn't say so till he'd
tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin,
and if he worried, he certinly hid hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and he did
it.
Somebody scoffed; "Oh you'll never do that; at least no one ever has done i
t;"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, and the first thing we kn
ew he'd begun it.
With-a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, without any doubt or quit it
, He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and he d
id it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to p
rophsy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one the dangers that wait to
asail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin, just take off your coat and
go to it;- Just start to sing as you tackle the thing that "cannot be don
e" and you'll do it.

P.S.- This i for all you builders who might have some sceptical friends o
r aquaintances.- You CAN do it, Corvair, Continental, Ford, Suburu or wha
t ever, keep at it it will fly some day!

I used the oiled bearings from MC. One thing I did do is use some Loctite 640 Bearing
Retainer to set the bearing into the wheel hub. If using the oil type bearings
just wipe the surface with alcohol to remove the oil and then apply the
Loctite. This will keep the bearing from spinning in the wheel hub and wearing
it out.
The oiled bearings can be replaced by heating the bearing some and pressing them
out.

| Subject: | Re: Last flight of the year. |
I'm enjoying reading about people's last flights of 2011 and first of 2012.
Like Jack Phillips, I got in a nice late-afternoon flight on Friday, but I
had to work for it. The hangar where the Piet stays is one of those
Port-a-port hangars, with side doors that bifold on rollers horizontally, and
a
single center door that pushes up and latches, and is counterbalanced with
big springs and cables. Last week, I went down to the strip and the springs
on one side has snapped. That center door is way heavy. Friday, I didn't
have anyone to help me so I tried pushing the door up as far as I could and
bracing it with a 4 foot piece of steel pipe. Then I pushed it up farther by
walking a longer 2X4 up wedged between the asphalt floor and the door.
Finally, I got it up and latched but using a still longer 2X4. Replacement
springs are ordered - Ben Gay has been applied!
Friday was warm - high 50s but breezy. Flying north with the wind was a lot
of fun but it was slow coming back south. Still it was a great way to end
the year, and after landing I realized that it was a year to the day that
we'd trucked the wings down to Twin Rivers and attached them to the
fuselage, and made it into a real airplane.
Happy New Year, Good People!

Hey Jack!
I bought a kit from Eastwood.com About $150 or maybe $199 for everything needed
to get started. Well, except a small compressor and an electric oven.....
Worked great...
