| Subject: | belly access panel |
Like others, I just screwed my aluminum belly access panel on. Per some
suggestions from this group, wherever I screwed sheet metal into the
structure, I impregnated the screw holes with crazy glue.
One probably only removes the belly panel once a year? So that's only
twenty times over twenty years. It's behind the CG, so whatever you do,
keep it light and don't make it fancier or more complex than it really needs
to be.

Oscar,
I am looking forward to meeting you. I have flown the route you have been asking
about in my Piet. The mountains you cross between your place and Redding CA
are the big ones. The ones around the Frazeur Lake area are just hills in comparison.
Not a big deal especially with a Cont bolted to the front of your plane.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride,

Saturday June 7th 2014 Frazier Lake 1C9 (I'll get this year's info sheet together
and posted soon).
Last year I believe a couple people come in on Friday afternoon/evening and quite
a few of us camped out Saturday night and left Sunday morning.

Mike,
Do you want to fly up on Friday with me? I can swing by your airport on the way
up.

This is a 3/8 inch copper pipe, 1/8 inch cable, and a penny. Quick copy of the
balancer as describe in Contact Magazine. It is very accurate and also demonstrates
the lateral balance of the prop. It will allow you to determine the exact
location and amount of weight necessary to balance the prop. This one needs
55 grams.

I have to work that day (it's the last day of our school year but at least I won't
have to rush back on Sunday for work Monday morning like I usually have too).
I think I'll just fly up Saturday morning. Thank you though!

Just let me know, I can bed you and the Piet down for as long as you can stand
it! I will go to the FLYIN maybe Friday, or Saturday very early. Could go in the
Waiex or the Aeronca. Maybe the Aeronca could keep up with you. I might stay
over night so I can get to know more of you guys.
Thanks,
Ray

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)

Cool. Could we get a few more pics of that balancer (disassembled) and also
of your finished prop? I am sure others would be inspired.

| Subject: | Pietenpol for Sale |
Our local airport Kittie Hill (77T) Austin TX has been sold and closed to
make room for 500 houses.
I need to sell my Pietenpol ;-)
I put it on Barnstormers - I can't seem to get a direct URL for the sale but
if you search you will find:
PIETENPOL AIR CAMPER A-65 LSA $9,995
I think t is worth more than that but I have to get it out of 77T before the
end of the month...
Thanx,
Kevin McDonald
Austin TX
p.s. I prefer email for initial contacts:

Ok Mike, We'll say in touch. As you know, weather can really be a problem on my
side of the hill that time of year. It alone could push me into a Sat. departure.
I will also talk to the French Valley guys to see if they want to try
again this year.

1. Growth of the greater Austin Metroplex and rising value for houses VS
grass runways and old wooden hangars.
2. Rundown hangars
3. Somewhat rough runways that could not be used when wet or overgrown.
4. older pilots that don't fly as much, with aging planes that have not
flown in many years in wornout termite eaten hangars.
I decided against hangaring my Vtail there because it always seemed like
the runway was wet when I wanted to fly in and look around. The few hangars
that were availiable were pretty scary looking.
Having said that, I always liked the people I met there and could have
based there quite easily.
I grieve the closing of anouther small airport. and they aren't making any
new land to put airports on.
