They will loan you any tool that they have, some have great advice, none mean to slow or stop your project, but nevertheless, I find it hard to get much done.

Got to the airport about nine, temp was around 40, but the winds were perfect (calm) so I suited up. Did five take offs and landings and only landed high once, but no biggie; just tap the throttle, keep the stick back, keep her straight and she tracks true. Proceeded to patrol the lines but no Huns showed their faces, all clear. Patrolled over the house, waved to the wife and proceed to wake up my friend at his house a few miles up the road before returning to base. Good landing. She runs rich because. it's a continental and the long pipes make it run even richer AND my engine guy doesn't want me to lean her out until 25 hours, so I've invested in rags and cleaner because with those really cool long pipes.. The stuff gets all over the fuselage and tail. Yuck!! Oh well..Coolness trumps practicality sometimes!!!!! Nice still day so I think I got some good gps readings. Cruise at 2200 is around 70. 2400 seems to produce around 75. 2000 is 65ish, maybe a bit less. 2000 to 2200 is FUN. the engine just purrs along sipping the gas, she trims out nicely and just chugs along very quietly. It was cold so she climbed REALLY well, my gps vertical climb indicator was reading between 600 and 750fpm on a totally normal climb-out, so I decided to actually try a steep(ish) climb and got a steady 1,000. I believe the gps is accurate, but attribute those high numbers to the cold, the big C-90/cloudcar prop combo up front, combined with little fuel and me only weighing 160 all clothed up.

Commencement is that Saturday, but I don't plan to "walk". Steve: sad to say, but MFR is an international airport of entry, so we have the chain-link fence with "bob war" on top, gates with prox card entry, roving guards, and no fooling around on the airport grounds like at 8T8. Yes, there are retired guys and snoopers around from time to time, but it's hard to even find somebody to help me flip a wing or load/unload anything. I have a mighty fine, clean, new, insulated, lighted hangar so no complaints, but I do miss having a few like-minded folks around. There are definitely no walk-ups interrupting me and asking questions. They mythical teenager peering through the fence just waiting to wash airplanes in exchange for a ride would get arrested and questioned as a potential terrorist nowadays, I'm afraid. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=397307#397307 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 07:49:09 PM PST US From: "Chris" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Question about Continetal Engine Mount All I have a question about the plans for the continental engine mount. The 4 mounting points on the engine side of the mount call for "Ream for 7/16 inch bolts". According to my continental overhaul manual, the mounting bolts for the A series is a 3/8 inch bolt. Also, in one of the Bengalis' books it shows a 3/8th inch bolt. So, what size do I make the hole for the bolts on the engine mount?
