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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. -------- 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=417031#417031 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 02:00:37 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol for Sale From: Steven Dortch > > Too bad anouther small airport turned into houses.
