I stayed on, but really missed seeing people's projects and hearing about their progress etc so I went over to the dark side. Seems like those people have moved on now that the damage is done, but there used to be 20-30 posts a day from fun stuff to technical stuff and without this group I wouldn't have been able to build my plane. It's a shame, but I don't see it coming back though I still lurk.

With millions of stress cycles on Connecting Rod Bolts, it's hard to say whether those in a given engine will live forever... So, when even thinking of rebuilding your engine, consider new Rod Bolts. We only have a few sets of small Continental Connecting Rod Boltsleft, as we've sold many to guys on this list, along with A&P's who know about them. These are surplus NOS bolts sealed in a corrosion proof package. There are ten bolts per package. These fit ALL small Continentals from A65 thru O-200, along with O-300, and O-240 engines. Continental part number is 530213. Aircraft Spruce sells these for $19.95 each, but we're selling the packages for $140., which covers a full engine with two spares. For those needing 12, we can add two additional for a total of $165. Please contact me to reserve a set, as there is a limited quantity. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=458353#458353 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/conn_rod_bolts_194.jpg ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:49:23 AM PST US From: Jack Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: FB Us builders thank you!

Building questions get lost in the noise. It lacks the ability to search and find stuff. There is no archive to help future builders find answers to questions they didn't even know to ask. On Facebook builders are pushed aside in my opinion. (Kind of like the current EAA) It's all glitz with no substance. Yes, I too have had to make a Facebook account but I don't use it and I'm somewhat disconnected from the Pietenpol community because of it. Oh well. I prefer to go talk to Gary and Scott at their hangers anyway. I'm hoping that this list will get some traction back as it is the best format for what we are trying to do.

Sometimes the responses have demon strated in patients which I certainly understand but we were all new people o nce if you remember I'm building the Ariel that's a biplane conversion designed by Chad Willy ye s it's still a pietenpol. If I added wings struts and took the lower wings o ff you couldn't tell the difference except for some additional fittings on t he bottom of the fuse anyway that being aside, The technical information pre sented on this site in the archives and hearing everybody chime in when a qu estion is asked sure does make this crazy journey called building an airplan e much more doable. I don't have a Facebook account I will never have a Facebook account please k eep this list going it's amazing resource and I guess the main thing I want t o say is thank you for sharing all your knowledge andfor asking all those ne wbie questions Chocks away and blue skies to all Glen > On Jul 19, 2016, at 9:35 PM, CatDesigns wrote: > > Douwe > > I think the rise of the Facebook Group has been a huge loss to the Pietenp ol community.
