(GRC-RXD0)[Vantage Partners, LLC]" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Access panels Steve-I hinged my aluminum belly access panel but like Jack said, no need t o. I reinforced that area around the opening that I framed in with strips of spruce (advice for new builders) so that it gave a place for the belly fabric to wrap around and be glued and 2) so tha t when I heat taughtened the fabric it didn't pull the opening out of a rectangular shape. Fabric s o SO strong when you get to the final taughtening temperature. Not uncommon to hear the wood structure creak and groan like most of us do when we get out of be in the mornings:) Mike C.

After that long a flight, I would hate to miss any of the event! I'll also plan on departing Sunday, for the same reason. Looking forward to seeing the field and the airplanes, and meeting all y'all. And of course, looking forward to the x-c adventure! -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416941#416941 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:53 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Donald Pietenpol From: "aerocarjake" Thanks for the notification - sad news... I too bought my plans from Don and had a real nice phone conversation with him at the time. As others have mentioned, I got the feeling he had lots of conversations with well-intentioned folks who may have never got very far on their project. Appreciate that Don (and now his son) make the information available to a next generation of builders.

You may put o08 in your flight plan, it is certainly on the way. If you need a place to over night, we have plenty of room at our home. It might be a long hope from Montague to Colusa for your Piet. Maybe Montague, Red Bluff then Colusa? Let me know when you decide.

I know for sure that I want to stop in Montague or Weed to catch my breath and look over the airplane after I cross the Siskiyou Summit, but after that it's all going to depend on the wind and weather. The chart planners tell me that it's something like 440 SM or roughly 7 flight hours from my home field. However, that's very misleading when flying a Piet, and it translates to at least 3 fuel stops and a very full day of travel if winds don't kick up too badly for me to proceed after lunch. I would be thrilled to make it all the way to 1C9 in one day, but I'm not holding my breath on that possibility. The interesting thing is that in June in this area, there are almost 15 hours of daylight between dawn and dusk! That being the case, it should be entirely possible for me to make it all in one day. > > So sure, I'll fly on your wing from Los Banos or anyplace else we might connect. Proud and happy to fly with such a nice airplane as yours, but after having been soundly out-run by "Axel" Purtee in his Corvair Piet, I have absolutely no hope of keeping up with you. > > -------- > Oscar Zuniga > Medford, OR > Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" > A75 power > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416922#416922 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:01:05 PM PST US From: jorge lizarraga Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: West Coast Piet fly-in 2014 te veo alla oscar=0A=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0AFrom: Oscar Zuniga =0ATo: Pietenpol List =0ASent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 9:39 PM=0ASubject: Pietenpol-Li st: West Coast Piet fly-in 2014=0A=0A=0A=0AHello, low 'n' slow fliers-=0A -=0AI started doing a little bit of planning for Frazier Lake in June and I have a question for the "locals".- I'll be generally following Interst ate 5 down from Oregon but avoiding any of the bad airspace.- Coming down past Stockton and Tracy, I will need to cut west to get to 1C9 and it look s like I should cut over at Los Banos, roughly following Hwy. 152 around Sa n Luis Reservoir.- The terrain looks pretty rugged all along there, so I thought I'd inquire to see if there is a better way to get from the central valley over to Frazier Lake when coming south?=0A-=0AIt looks like I hav e about 20 more weekends to get myself and the airplane-prepared for the trip.=0A-=0AOscar Zuniga=0AMedford, OR=0AAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"=0AA75 ===================== ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:17:22 PM PST US From: jorge lizarraga Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: West Coast Piet fly-in 2014 i like to see you all over dere in these time jorge from hanford=0A=0A=0A =0A________________________________=0AFrom: jorge lizarraga =0ATo: "pietenpol-list@matronics.com" =0ASent: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 1:57 PM=0ASubject: Re: Pietenpol-List : West Coast Piet fly-in 2014=0A=0A=0A=0Ate veo alla oscar=0A=0A=0A=0A_____ ___________________________=0AFrom: Oscar Zuniga =0A 14, 2014 9:39 PM=0ASubject: Pietenpol-List: West Coast Piet fly-in 2014=0A =0A=0A=0AHello, low 'n' slow fliers-=0A-=0AI started doing a little bit o f planning for Frazier Lake in June and I have a question for the "locals". - I'll be generally following Interstate 5 down from Oregon but avoiding any of the bad airspace.- Coming down past Stockton and Tracy, I will nee d to cut west to get to 1C9 and it looks like I should cut over at Los Bano s, roughly following Hwy. 152 around San Luis Reservoir.- The terrain loo ks pretty rugged all along there, so I thought I'd inquire to see if there is a better way to get from the central valley over to Frazier Lake when co ming south?=0A-=0AIt looks like I have about 20 more weekends to get myse lf and the airplane-prepared for the trip.=0A-=0AOscar Zuniga=0AMedford , OR=0AAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"=0AA75 power=0A-=0A=0A=0A" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-Listet=_ blank>http://forums.matronics.com/llow target=_blank>http://www.matron ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:13:02 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Access panels From: danhelsper@aol.com My belly panel is held on with #6-32 machine screws and embedded T-nuts int o the spruce longerons and cross pieces. Dan Helsper Puryear, TN -----Original Message----- From: Steven Dortch Sent: Tue, Jan 14, 2014 7:44 pm Subject: Pietenpol-List: Access panels What is the best way to attach aluminum sheets as cover panels for the wing fuel tank and a large belly access hole? In other words how do attach it t o the wood frame? especially where there is currently fabric. I would like to be able to open it for the condition inspection and such but not for eac h flight. So a piano hinge is not required. I do like Dzuz type fasteners r ather than screws. Yes I have looked all through Uncle Tony's books and I have surfed the net. Blue Skies, Steve D ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:29:42 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: West Coast Piet fly-in 2014 From: "taildrags" Ray: I was using the AOPA online flight planner to do a what-if, and Colusa came up directly along my route of flight. It must be a sign ;o) As I get my plans firmed up, I'll check with a few folks along the way to see about possible overnight stops. I will have a handheld so I can get into a few towered fields along the way (and get out of my own home field, which has a tower)- and I may break down and fly my Garmin GPSMap 196 as well as bring along the flapping folded sectionals with yellow highlighter and pencil notes on them. I'm not smart enough to put them on a roll of toilet paper like Mike Cuy does, and advance the roll as the flight progresses. Once he arrives at the destination he gets to toss the roll out the cockpit and try to slice the paper with a wing before the roll hits the ground. Wish I were a stunt pilot like Mikee ;o) Jorge: nos veremos con el favor de Dios. A ver si no tienes miedo de subirte a mi Pietenpol y te doy la vuelta. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416993#416993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
