| Subject: | Another Black and Yellow German? |
Zeke,
Thanks for the kind offer (just reinforcing that Pietenpol people are the
BEST). Let me know when the Comanche is airworthy again, and if I haven't
gotten back to CJR by then I'll take you up on it. I will probably get up
there this weekend. I've got a friend who needs a BFR and an Instrument
Competency Checkride from me. We may just do them as he flies me up to
Culpeper to retrieve the RV-4. But if that doesn't work out and your
Comanche gets out of the instrument shop I'll happily fly with you.
Will you be flying the GN-1 to Brodhead?

Jack:
I am 1/3 share in Piper Comanche based at Manassas. My folks live in
Lynchburg. Currently getting attitude indicator replaced, but if finished
soon, I could visit folks, briefly, pop into Smith Mtn Lake, then stop into
KCJR on return, drop you off.
I am planning on Brodhead..hopefully. Keep my purchased GN-1 at 3VA7.

This weekend Karen and I flew our RV-4 to northern Virginia to attend a
wedding. We landed at Winchester and spent Saturday night with some friends
there. Sunday morning, the weather was too bad to return to Smith Mountain
Lake, so we flew south to Culpeper, where Gene Rambo was nearing completion
on his Pietenpol. We were able to help him with a couple of minor tasks,
but were unable to fly any further since the weather just got worse. His
Model A powered Pietenpol is absolutely gorgeous. Gene and I rolled it out
of the hangar and cranked it up and it purrs like a kitten - the smoothest
running model A I've ever seen.
Since we couldn't fly back home yesterday, Karen and I spent the night with
Gene and his family, enjoying a scrumptious steak dinner in the process, and
planned to leave this morning. We left, but in a rental car since the
weather was low IFR all the way home for us (it is raining at Smith Mountain
Lake as I write this). I'll have to get back to Culpeper and retrieve the
airplane later this week when the stationary front that has plagued us for
the last several days finally moves out to sea.
Gene just sent me a text message saying that the FAA has signed off his
airplane, and if the rain will hold off he expects the first flight to be
tomorrow morning!
Now he's got to get busy to fly off the hours so we can fly together to
Brodhead in 3 weeks. Maybe when I get back there to retrieve the RV-4 I can
help him put a few hours on it.

All of my yardsticks and rulers seem to have rounded ends or the first couple
of marks are all but obliterated, so I start from the 1" when I need accurate
measurements. Accurate to the nearest inch, that is!! I've done it so many
times...

In the accidents of this kind I had, what they had in common was that I knew I
could be hurt, and I was in an awkard positions, or hurry, or angry for something.

While laying out a floor to tile it, I forgot to say "burn an inch" while
doing the three four five triangle. The other guy who should have known,
somehow didn't burn the inch. As we got underway the joints got a little
tighter and then tighter still. I couldn't figure it out and then I said,
"You did burn an inch didn't you?" The silence was deafening and then he
said "Uhhh, no". We finished the floor with spacers, our plan B. Recently
while drilling a larger hole in the motor mount piece, you know the one, one
inch by three inches by one eighth, I held it down with my left hand while
pulling down the drill press handle with my right. Cut a neat one eighth by
three quarter inch slice out of my left nose picking finger. Thank God for
super glue.
