    In the April 2015 issue of Kitplanes in the "Ask the DAR" section, the writer suggests that all pilots of aircraft utilizing the NX markings without the word "experimental" on the aircraft carry a copy of CFR_45.22b to show any FAA inspector who questions them on it. In case anyone needs/wants a copy, I have attached a copy below. I reduced the font to get it all on one page. I plan on doing just that and using the NX markings on my Pietenpol. It sounds like a good practice to me, since it comes from a DAR. Just thought I would save forum members the time of looking for it. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=439072#439072 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/cfr_4522b_144.pdf

    Terry and Gary and others, I just got my Airworthiness inspection a couple of weeks ago. I went through the same discussion with the DAR and the FAA. I have X in the number and dont have experimental on the airplane. Having a copy of the FAR in the airplane is just a good idea. I have one mine. The only problem is adjusting the weight and balance for the paperwork ;0) Jack > On Mar 5, 2015, at 11:49 AM, Gary Boothe <gboothe5@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Thanks, Terry.

    Good reminder Terry and good attachment to the post. Back in 1998 when my FAA/MIDO inspector came out to do my airworthiness ins pection I printed out a copy of the FAR that allows for the NX and he was surprised to learn about that hidden gem. One item with using NX is that the X appears nowhere in the FAA records so when registering or looking up, selling or buying the X doesn't have any role----it is only an aircraft marking that takes the place of the big, now unnecessary EXPERIMENTAL. Good post. Mike C. [cid:image001.jpg@01D05743.5B90DC70] [cid:image002.jpg@01D05743.5B90DC70]

    Subject: Re: A couple of questions about wing construction
    Thanks, Andy. You are very kind! Yes, I get a lot of compliments at the airport, but I find that all very humbling as I consider myself fortunate beyond measure for having the opportunity to build this plane. There are so many who, for various reasons, do not have the time, money, situation, etc., will never have that opportunity, or may take an incredibly long time to completion. I'm currently re-building a damaged Baby Ace, which grew up in the same era as the Piet, but just doesn't seem to have the same mystique. I'm sure I asked my share of questions to this list, but found that searching through the archives yielded hours' worth of good reading that would often take me in directions that were unrelated but equally useful. Same for westcoatpiet. Looking through all those pictures helped me to quickly solidify an opinion about what I liked and what I didn't; rounded corners on the tail parts, or not; tall wheels?; taller cabanes, or turtledeck? Deck angle? Cowling appearance? The list goes on... Color choice is something that will come sooner or later, but I think the building process needs to be started with your vision of aesthetics, if that is important to you. I look forward to hearing of your progress, Gary Boothe NX308MB -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Andy Garrett Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2015 8:32 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A couple of questions about wing construction --> <andy_garrett@live.com> Wow!

    That's exactly what I did. I didn't have a DAR, but an inspector from the FSDO, whom I thought should know the regs. Just in case I carried a copy of the FARs with that one highlighted. Good thing I did. When he challenged me, I just showed him the book and he grunted and said "learn something new every day".

    I don't know how adding dihedral could irritate the purists. It says to add some to the three piece wing right in the 'official' manual. *SNAP* The three piece wing must not be pure either.

    Terry, thanks for the post. I copied the FAR and plan to keep it in the same place with the other paper work. I just today sent off the paperwork to get my Piet registered. It will be NX10003. I have had the 10003 reserved for a few years. It was the lowest all-number registration available when I reserved it. Am getting excited about the possibility of finishing my plane, getting it inspected, and flying it for the first time before the snow flies next winter. Notice that I said, "Possibility!"
