| Subject: | Re: Martha Lunken |
Hello folks,
I can add a Martha story. Around 1994, I believe, I was flying for Rhoades Aviation
in Columbus Indiana, It was time for me to get typed in the Douglas Sleeper
Transport. aka DC-3. I flew to Lunken with the Chief Pilot to meet Martha
and do the type/ATP ride. Nervous as heck, this is a big day, we proceed to
her office. Nice big desk, nice office, in walks Martha. The oral exam is starting!
She can see that I'm scared to death. She eases into her big leather
seat, opens up the AIM/FAR. Looks up and over the top of the book and asks....."Dave,
do you think my butt looks big in these jeans?" First question of
the most important type ride of my life, and this is the way it starts! She made
me feel so at ease... The rest of the day was a breeze! What a lady! What
an advocate for GA. The FAA lost a great examiner the day she retired. Good
to see she still is a D.E.
Hope I did not bore anyone, and I look forward to getting home from this trip
and picking up my wing wood and fuselage steel.
Best Regards,
Dave Hughes

| Subject: | Re: ELT requirement |
I ended up putting the ELT unit under the pilot's seat and the ground plane
& antenna just behind the pilot's seatback, similar to Jack's.
Whether an ELT is required seems to be up to your individual DAR's
interpretation of the FAR. Mine said I am not conducting training, so I
need an ELT regardless of how close or far I am from the airport. Also, I
tried to say it was part of the design and testing of the aircraft, but no
joy on that one either.
I bought a new ELT from ACS for $199.. Had access to older ones, but by the
time I modified them and renewed batteries, it was about as cheap to get the
new one.

| Subject: | Re: nose bowl for N92GB |
Ken, The rough measurements are:
24" wide, 23" tall (at the back), and 5" depth. The cooling openings are roughly
8" wide (at top and bottom edges) and 6 " tall. I would recomend widening the
nosebowl to 27"-28" or so to get it out to the width of the valve covers. I
believe this is what Kurt Shipman did with his, and it does look a little more
streamlined and less cumbersome. Our cooling shroud is just a stock corvair fan
shroud with the top closed in with a piece of sheet metal, and a "scoop" over
the starter for clearance. Read up in the Tony Bingalis books for the method
of mounting the nosebowl during fitting/trimming. A plywood disk or foam disk
was used to hold the nose bowl in place centered on the prop hub cutout. If
Dad has any pictures of him building it I will forward them to you. Hope this
helps.

Shad,
I'm emailing in the hope that you
can help with some measurements of your Pietenpol nose bowl.
I'm close to being ready to make one, and as I think
you know have long admired the one your dad made.
If you have a moment, the measurements
that would be most helpful are the width, height, depth,
intake dimensions, and location of the intake and prop hub
holes above/below the horizontal center line and, in the
case of the intake holes, the location away from the
vertical center line.
I'm hoping you and your dad
subscribe to the motto that Imitation is the best form of
flattery.
Cheers, Ken

You guys are correct by stating that ELT's are not required during Phase 1 test
flights. However, If you do not have one in the plane for the inspection you
will need to contact the DAR or FAA again for a second inspection to verify the
installation. This could incur another upcharge from the DAR. at least this
is what I have encountered out here on the left coast. I am an EAA Tech Counsoler
so I see this question quite often. It is more seamless to just have
it already in the plane from the start.

Michael,
Whats really great now is that I don't have to sit in the cockpit and
make fake engine noises anymore!!!! I just got through ordering a
Odyssey PC680 battery so I don't have to jump start anymore.

I'll be the first to admit that my problems may be as much pilot related as anything,
but my re-work includes a spring and a bonafide Matco tailwheel like Mike
Groah and Kevin's, placing the wheel further back. My plans-built set up has
always been sloppy.
Scott - Your width is the same as mine is now, but the longeron height is 3" less...FWIW...

Gary, I think the tail wheel mod will correct your problem also. What the heck
is TWIW? My tail wheel fork is one from Vans. Non-swival. Works very well.
An RV-6 builder gave me mine and I adapted it to my airplane. I can take pics
next time I am at the airport. Maybe Friday?
