Thanks Mark and others, it's been one of the tougher segments to date. This
calculator http://metalgeek.com/static/cope.pcgi was helpful. Using it and
red craft? paper saved some 4130. Also, cut and fit the rear V's first, that
way you have enough scrap left for the front when you mess up the rear. :)
Still have a long way to go with the springs, lugs and brakes.

I also use an ICOM A6 with a remote antenna and it works great. One thing t
o note however is that (at least on mine) you must use a remote PTT when us
ing a headset. If you key the mic using the radio mounted PTT it will activ
ate the mic on the radio, not the mic on the headset. The remote PTT solves
this. I did not have the same issue when using an intercom for some reason
. Bottom line is that the A6 works well.

I doubt if I can be of much help since-the handheld radio in my Piet has
been hibernating in my helmet box for 10 years. As others have alluded, I d
on't do any "Real" cross-country flying but tend to stay in the WI,IL,IN,IA

At the risk of muddying up the water without really knowing what I'm talking about,

Gardiner or Barry or Frank can answer better than I can, since it happened
to them. Basically, after the storm destroyed their airplanes, they were in
the process of salvaging what they could and were preparing the planes to be
loaded on trailers, which were already on their way from Georgia. The
officials of SNF made them stop and leave their airplanes. A private
contractor, hired by SNF, then picked up the fragile, damaged aircraft with
forklifts and dumped them on a trailer, causing more damage than the storm
had done.
Then, this summer, SNF found that their insurance would not cover the cost
of the private contractor they had chosen, so they sent a letter to each of
the Pietenpol owners advising them that they would have to pay close to
$30,000 each, for the private contractor and the cost of cleaning up the
fuel spilled by the three aircraft (one of which was empty before the storm
hit) - a total of over 100 gallons! Imagine two Pietenpols holding 100
gallons of fuel between them.
Of course, the owners can defend themselves in the lawsuit which will come,
but it will cost them dearly to hire a lawyer.
There, Peter - that's the story as I know it. I may have a detail or two
confused, but essentially that's it. I think these poor pilots (who had no
insurance on their aircraft as far as I know) have been very shoddily
treated by the SNF officials. Frankly, I doubt I'll ever go back there,
which is a shame because it used to be one of my favorite fly-ins.

EAA doesn't have any ties to SNF anymore. Its run by a corp. Sorry to have brought
such a bad memory back. I was there during the tornado last year and bad
weather on the Tues before is the only reason my Piet wasnt in the "pile". Still
, flyin there has been on my bucket list since long before I bought my plans.....

Thanks Jack,
Not a good story. I wonder why it never made it into the public arena. This

Gardiner or Barry or Frank can answer better than I can, since it happened
to them. Basically, after the storm destroyed their airplanes, they were in
the process of salvaging what they could and were preparing the planes to be
loaded on trailers, which were already on their way from Georgia. The
officials of SNF made them stop and leave their airplanes. A private
contractor, hired by SNF, then picked up the fragile, damaged aircraft with
forklifts and dumped them on a trailer, causing more damage than the storm
had done.
Then, this summer, SNF found that their insurance would not cover the cost
of the private contractor they had chosen, so they sent a letter to each of
the Pietenpol owners advising them that they would have to pay close to
$30,000 each, for the private contractor and the cost of cleaning up the
fuel spilled by the three aircraft (one of which was empty before the storm
hit) - a total of over 100 gallons! Imagine two Pietenpols holding 100
gallons of fuel between them.
Of course, the owners can defend themselves in the lawsuit which will come,
but it will cost them dearly to hire a lawyer.
There, Peter - that's the story as I know it. I may have a detail or two
confused, but essentially that's it. I think these poor pilots (who had no
insurance on their aircraft as far as I know) have been very shoddily
treated by the SNF officials. Frankly, I doubt I'll ever go back there,
which is a shame because it used to be one of my favorite fly-ins.

Nope - I've flown my Pietenpol to Sun 'n' Fun once, but never again after
what they did to the Pieten Pile folks.

live 70 miles away in Titusville, Fl if you'd rather see it there.

Ben, I went to the SNF site and the EAA is not mentioned, however AOPA is a Platinum
supporter. I will prod AOPA on this. If SNF is "attacking" aircraft owners,
then they will not be getting my money. If AOPA is supporting someone who
is "attacking' Aircraft owners, then I will ride them hard. When I get more info
on this I will be letting both my current EAA chapter know what the deal is
and my previous one.
In a way this is similar to blaming the victim of a sexual assault for the attack
and making them pay for the police time and ambulance ride.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Subject Question on Sun N Fun suing Pietenpol owners.
Dear Ms. Jones, I noticed that you wrote an article called "Sun N Fun, the Aftermath".
is the following true?
Basically, after the storm destroyed their airplanes, the pietenpol owners whose
planes were destroyed by the tornado were in the process of salvaging what they
could and were preparing the planes to be loaded on trailers, which were already
on their way from Georgia. The officials of SNF made them stop and leave
their airplanes. A private contractor, hired by SNF, then picked up the fragile,
damaged aircraft with forklifts and dumped them on a trailer, causing more
damage than the storm had done.
Then, this summer, SNF found that their insurance would not cover the cost of the
private contractor they had chosen, so they sent a letter to each of the Pietenpol
owners advising them that they would have to pay close to $30,000 each,
for the private contractor and the cost of cleaning up the fuel spilled by the
three aircraft (one of which was empty before the storm hit) a total of over
100 gallons! Imagine two Pietenpols holding 100 gallons of fuel between them.
Of course, the owners can defend themselves in the lawsuit which will come, but
it will cost them dearly to hire a lawyer.
If true, then I think these poor pilots (who had no insurance on their aircraft
as far as I know) have been very shoddily treated by the SNF officials. Frankly,
I doubt Ill ever go to SNF if this is true, which is a shame because it was
one of my personal goals to fly to SNF.
How is SNF associated with EAA? If the EAA is part to this then I will leave the
EAA and ensure that all the members of my local EAA chapter know why.

| Subject: | Aluminum 8 plug Model A head for sale |
More shop cleaning....I have a "high" compression (6.7:1 I think) Model A head
for sale.
Never has been used. Just been sitting collecting dust.
Sorta like that fancy Thomas Finned style Mac's sells...but without the fins (or
high $$$ cost).
I have no idea what it's worth but will consider all offers...

| Subject: | started annual inspection early |
Well as luck would have it I didn't get to fly today.- Started out planni
ng to change the oil and go flying.- Took the piet out of hybernation, sh
e fired right up 2 blades, and purred like a kitten.- Pushed it back in t
he hangar and took the cowling off and looked around.- I noticed the carb
heat box had paint peeling and sure enough it was cracked.- We had a bro
ken weld in it a couple years ago that we repaired but it craked again, in
a bad area to try to repair.- Time to order another, so we can get in the
air, fix the old one later.- I am going to replace the wing strut hardwa
re (bolts)-with new, this is flying season #7, and 300 hrs, so it is chea
p insurance.- Also have to take off some of the tail fittings to repaint
them, Dad used POR 15 paint, And I found out from a classic car guy that it
does not hold up to UV rays (peels right off to bare metal).- Other than
that, engine looks good, compression checks good, no extra oil leaks, and
no
house paint is blowing off.- Hopefully I can get it wrapped up in a coup
le weekends, which is when winter will probably come back with a vengence.
- Also started making up a annual inspection checklist for a piet, I will
attatch for whoever wants to look at it.- Feel free to modify it for you
r own piet.
