After that the FAA was to promote safety only!.

As frustrating as it is to encounter ignorance, error, confusion, or misinformation in the agency that is supposed to promote and regulate civil aviation, there is much more to be gained by getting the correct information right out of the regulations or advisory circulars and then discussing it with our employees in the FAA. But I'll admit, sometimes you just want to whack 'em upside the head. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435462#435462 ========== br> fts!) r> > com" target="_blank">www.aeroelectric.com w.buildersbooks.com" target="_blank">www.buildersbooks.com p.com" target="_blank">www.homebuilthelp.com e.com" target="_blank">www.mypilotstore.com " target="_blank">www.mrrace.com target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/contribution -Matt Dralle, List Admin. ========== br> enpol-List" target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List ========== FORUMS - _blank">http://forums.matronics.com ========== -- Blue Skies, Steve D (http://www.aeroelectric.com/) (http://www.buildersbooks.com/) (http://www.homebuilthelp.com/) (http://www.mypilotstore.com/) ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:33:41 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Getting Started Again From: "nightmare" great looking panel Jack. could u give up the wood/stain combination of the inner panel? -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435485#435485 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:56:14 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: E-LSA reregistration?

Because he was an ignorant busybody? Around here, if it comes to their attention, the police insist that any off-field incident (such as a safe, off-field landing) involving an aircraft be reported to the FAA. We once had a local sheriff crash a family reunion party, where a family member was hopping his family rides from their pasture, because they weren't using an 'official' airport.

So, in my travels, I came across a rather long Gooseneck die, and I picked it up for a rather pricey sum. If you want a short gooseneck, I'm cutting the long piece into a series of short pieces, so you can bend the U shaped fittings - along with any other fittings - without having to jury rig something special. The cost per linear inch of the material is $7.50, and it will fit into a $5.00 shipping box. I'm not trying to make $$ here, just help out anyone wanting such a die, at a reasonable cost. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll cut a 3", 4", or whatever length you need. For my purposes, I'm going with a 4" bending setup like the one Curt Merdan showed in his pics. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435489#435489 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:04:10 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Classic Carwil Bubbleface Compass From: Steven Dortch OOPs Photos attached -- Blue Skies, Steve D ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 02:57:37 PM PST US From: Ray Krause Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: E-LSA reregistration? On a personal note: I once landed at our local non-controlled and under-used airport after a week of heavy rain and turned a few feet too soon onto a taxi way with the result that the left wheel mired in the mud. I gave the J-3 full and rapid throttle to pull through the mud, but the engine stalled and quit. With the momentary, but short power surge, and the one wheel stuck in the mud, the plane nosed over in very slow motion. I climbed out into ankle deep mud, pulled the tail down and managed somehow to pull the plane out of the mud. By the time I got the plane back to the hangar, the sheriff showed up and asked if I were the one who "crashed"! Being the only airplane at the airport, and standing there with mud up to my ankles with only one shoe and hosing the mud off the plane; I had to admit that I was the "crashed plane"! He wanted a complete report on the crash because he had already called the FFA to report it! Some motorist, driving by the airport, had reported the "crash". The sheriff's protocol was the immediately call the FFA prior to even responding to the crash site! It took only six months and many letters and phone calls to get the "incident" straightened out. As they say, the FFA is not happy until you are unhappy. Ray Krause Sent from my iPad > On Dec 8, 2014, at 5:03 AM, Kip and Beth Gardner wrote: > > > Because he was an ignorant busybody?

Both the rudder and elevator gaps are nearly 7/8". I taped them closed for a few flights, there was small improvement in elevator authority and nothing noticeable in rudder so the tapes went into the garbage bin. The ailerons are attached with piano hinges and the short spaces between the hinges are sealed with tape; they are very effective resulting in little stick movement.

Excellent workmanship, and the whole visual scheme is very tasteful and reminiscent of the times. Great work, and great photos. But is it just me, or is the gap between rudder and vertical stabilizer quite large? Not at all being critical, just commenting. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435080#435080 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
