I had forgotten that. Originally I asked Greg at AEA to magnaflux the rod bolts and nuts so I cou ld reuse them and that is when he told me they never reuse rod bolts on any aircraft engine. Nice to know. I used new rod bolts in my original engine rebuilt but thought I could get away with reusing these..... not a good idea! Mike C.

I've been pinging EAA with feedback to return a greater focus on HOMEBUILTS. I'm just one voice in the wind but apparently I am not the only one who feels this way as they have had LOTS of similar requests. Lately SPORT AVIATION feels like reading FLYING magazine (not surprising as EAA hired their editor) and if I wanted to read FLYING magazine I would buy FLYING magazine. I want to read about HOMEBUILTS...!

These are the correct skis for J-3's, along with many other 2 seat aircraft from the period. Model # for the skis is 1500. Skis of this period had no wheels, therefore, one needs to have snow in order to take off / land... When I get a chance, we'll take pictures and post them here, unless someone jumps on them right away. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435271#435271 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:16:53 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Federal Aviation Skis for sale From: Marcus Zechini I want!!!

(GRC-LME0)[Vantage Partners, LLC]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Flying and Sport Aviation Glad you have been pinging EAA Jake about their publication becoming more a nd more like Flying. I went round and round with J. Mac McClellan via e-mail a few months ago af ter one of his articles in Sport Aviation made the ridiculous claim that basic VFR navigation using a sectional and a track were pretty much a waste anymore. We spit nickels back and forth for a while so perhaps EAA is hearing that w e don't believe the publication should be what it was starting to become.

You must be one of the myriad of folks who have been relaying those comments. I know there is much more to EAA than homebuilts but that should always (IMHO) be their core.....! -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435282#435282 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 11:21:33 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpol in Print From: "biplan53" You are not the only person who feels this way!!!! I am also in the Biplane Forum and most of them feel the same way. The magazine needs a lot more hands on and homebuilt plane articles. -------- Building steel fuselage aircamper.

There must be a way to convince any editor to change his ways. Btw, the same is happening in electronics magazines. Years ago, it was filled with schema's and building descriptions for amplifiers and the lot, these days its more and more reviews on gadgets...
