From: Steven Dortch I have three mechanical mentors. One's shop is like an episode of hoarders. The seconds is like an operating room. They often collaborate. The third is in the middle. I myself am in the middle. As i do a project the shop gets cluttered. When done all gets put up and i start over. I am still in the middle of getting a good distro of tools. half at the hangar, half at the house/garage and half of in my old suburban. Of course, the right tool is always at the other place.

From: "tools" I'm with oscar, waaaay to neat. Read, I'm basically unable to do that! Seriously, bravo! More importantly, some very practical suggestions adaptable to any shop situation. If I were to add anything it would be my idea on how to organize hardware. I'm not a fan of typical plastic bin organizers, too inefficient. I, by happenstance, bought a weird cabinet YEARS ago that had about 36 drawers that are about 2 ft sq and 3 inches deep. Works way better than I anticipated it would. I had an entire neighborhood buying the same diaper wipes, laundry detergent, dis washing detergent and using frozen concentrate for all juices. These all, properly cut, fit the cabinet perfectly and (with a dozen ice cube trays) yielded me a thousand or more bins to hold everything from 0-80 to 1" x 10" bolts, nuts, washers, rivets, pins, you name it. I only sort stuff until the pile is small enough to look through quickly. I have one bin for 7/16 bolts, but about 40 for quarter twenties. My shop is a mess but I can find a piece of hardware about immediately. Like jake's screwdrivers, if I have a quarter inch bolt, it's in that one drawer. With large flat drawers, easy to browse. I keep one as a return. When I clean, I throw all my stuff in it, when it gets kinda full, I sort and distribute back into itself. I like the concept enough I'm building one for my shop in wisconsin. I'm halfway done making the required twenty eight drawers!

Here's the entire flight. WARNING! No editing at all. Only for those who are bored and hardcore Piet. Raw video; no time to edit yet. Entire flight in 5 videos. Some may take time to load; all are in 1080p but you may have to manually set the HD resolution using the little cog emblem in the lower right corner of the frame. The second video starts the actual flying.

This not to say that I would fall into that same pile for asking Kevin Purtee to fly mine. That was easy as Kevin is 10 times the pilot I will ever be, and certainly well qualified to fly a Corvair Piet. I can readily think of another 1/2 dozen or more who would be equally welcomed. Jeff, I am glad you posted that, though I'll admit that I only watched the take off and landing. I also have to admit that I would prefer to stay on the ground...but that's me. Similarly, what a great feeling to be offered the controls. Dan Yocum offered me a glimpse of that in 2012 at Brodhead when he dangled the carrot, and I bit. I had a fair amount of tailwheel time, but hadn't flown in nearly 30 years! The feeling was amazing... ...but what about when that nasty little thing happens? The one thing any of us would dread in our own planes, let alone someone else's? It happened to me when I was 18, and it happened to my 15,000 hr test pilot/flight instructor who drug a wingtip on my Piet while doing a downwind takeoff with a passenger. He was mortified about damaging my pride & joy, just as I was 43 years ago. A local Baby Ace owner has been insisting that I fly his Ace, but that memory still haunts...my flight instructor hasn't flown my Piet, though he has carte blanc and a key to my hanger, since that happened to him 2 years ago (aside from my BFR where he rode in front. So, what's my point? I don't think I have one...just some musings, brought on by Jeff's generosity to a friend. > > Gary Boothe > NX308MB > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jeff > Boatright > Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2015 6:38 PM > To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com > Subject: Pietenpol-List: Andy flies from the rear pit of the Piet > > --> > > A friend and colleague flew the Piet from the rear cockpit for the first > time yesterday.
