    im confused. I thought we were here to get tips and get help with building. instead i get an email about glass cockpits and ntsb reports. I think the subject should be st uck to but no one asked me. stay with this site and filter out all of the bs. there is good info but also lots of bs that should be handled off site with personal e mails. :) Braniff1966 wrote: > if you are a glass cockpit guy consider looking at the ntsb site recorded hearing on the asiana accident. watch dave mckennys portion group three. he is my human factors chairman Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416104#416104

    From: "AircamperN11MS" <Scott.liefeld@lacity.org>
    Hello Pieters, I find it very interesting to read about how we are using our birds. Most would consider them fair weather airplanes and to some that is all they are. I for one do like the occasional cold flight. Mostly when flying over a fresh snow fall. One flight in particular my wife and I flew over some pine covered mountains about 100' above the trees after a heavy snow fall. Very pretty flight, the engine and prop noise knocked the snow from the tree branches as we flew by. The flight was so beautiful that we forgot that we were even cold. Try it if you ever get the chance. Happy holidays to all and congratulations to all who made first flights in 2013. -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416123#416123

    Oops, dog hit the keyboard, Really! I now try look at uncle Tony's books and then do a quick search through the archives. But often I need the question answered my way. I have posted questions and got no answers so I restate the question from a different angle. Sometimes I am then given good directions to Uncle Tony or the list. Don't Stop asking.

    No apology required, although I do appreciate you doing so. I do not believe that Matt has put any type of question asking restriction or repeated question asking space usage restriction on his, (this) site, so I am one that feels it is OK to ask away! Those whom do not wish to answer the same question over and over do not need to do so. Most people get the "See Tony's books" or "check the archives" answers just because as new people arrive here, they may not know such tools exist. If God is your co-pilot...switch seats.

    As some of you may know, I usually take a chunk of time off around the holidays to dedicate to a major build on my plane. This year, I do not have as much to build, (a good thing) but I still have a lofty goal in mind. I would like to wrap up work on my engine cooling inlets, (eye brows, eye lashes, eye sore...) of my own design and also finish the engine cowling and exhaust heat muff. Maybe even get some of these items painted. Today is my last day of work until the 21st. Even with some family commitments here and there, I hope to get a lot done. I would also like to take time to do a write up or two for the newsletter and maybe another HINT video, but the above will be the priority. All in due time... If God is your co-pilot...switch seats.

    TriScout: Why would anyone need to approve anything that you do to your experimental aircraft if it's already registered and airworthy? If you have it installed by the time the annual condition inspection is conducted, it will be inspected like any other part of the aircraft, but you don't need approval or sign-off on it. I would make a logbook entry in the airframe log to document the change. The caveat is that you must decide whether adding the trim tab constitutes a "major change" or not. Here's the definition from 14 CFR 21.93: A minor change is one that has no appreciable effect on the weight, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics, or other characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product. All other changes are major changes. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416152#416152

    Well, from the West Coast builders to you Piet folks on the East Coast, best wishes for a joyful and blessed Christmas! And just out of curiosity, do you east coast and southern Pieters consider Sun 'n' Fun as your unofficial Piet gathering? I guess it's 'only' 840 miles from Atlanta to Brodhead, but that's more of a stretch than the 454 miles from Atlanta to Lakeland so I figured it was the best opportunity for Piets to gather down there, or possibly the 460 miles to the Lee Bottom Flying Field in Hanover, IN. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416153#416153

    Mike; Good for you, planning to maximize your available build time over the holidays. One thing I might mention about fabricating your cowl is that you should of course try removing and reinstalling the cowling with everything installed on the engine, before the cowling is painted. My setup is with the usual top and bottom halves of the cowling joined by piano hinges to make either half removable without disturbing the other half by pulling the hinge pins, and that's a good thing. The removable top half makes servicing the top plugs, mags, harnesses, oil screen, and other stuff pretty easy, and it comes off readily. It's the bottom half that causes the problems, and it needs to come off when you have to get to the carb, air box, oil sump, lower plugs, or anything else "down under". My bottom half is in three pieces (four, actually)... the bottom and two sides, also joined with piano hinges but without removable pins, fixed to half of the nose piece. Picture here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/CEA_Piet04.jpg The fact that the lower cowling is in several pieces with hinges allows it to be flexed and maneuvered, but the problem is the exhaust stacks, which contact the cowling pieces as I maneuver it to clear the air filter and carb heat box, which scratches the paint on the lower cowling. There's not really much to be done about it other than having a helper around when you pull the cowlings (rarely the case), or wrapping the stacks with soft rags or towels before pulling the cowling, or just not caring too much if you get minor paint scratches (which is my case with Scout, since I just shoot some Rustoleum Ford Implement Blue on things from time to time). You'll see from the picture that the stacks are usually fabricated tucked in to the sides of the cowling, which helps with streamlining but means you have to sneak past them with the cowling. By all means do some test-fitting with everything in place before you paint, or you may end up crying when you get some scratches. Scout has long since forgiven me for scratches, and now doesn't even grumble unless I break or bend something ;o) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416154#416154

    this is a big change... having another set of eyes is always a plus. even if not required... synergy is always a good plan. hopefully you will get good input from this group. my thought is that adding a moving flight control is possibly a major change. there are folks that do know and it aint me :D so I guess im wasting your time [Embarassed] Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416155#416155
