Don't really know why but in addition to old airplanes I also have other strange
interests. One of them is VW Beetles. I'm an all stock guy. The custom guys
do all kinds of things with their Bugs, including custom fuel tanks. I thought
maybe their might be some interest in this website. They custom make aluminum
fuel tanks.
http://www.aluminumgastanks.net/
For those around the Ohio area I know of a fantastic racecar fab shop that can
do a great job on the welding if you take one to them that is already fabbed up.

Just to add additional exuberance to this thread, I attended the
barnstorming tour to the farm a couple of years ago and can't wait for
the DVD. There is so much "real America" to be found just being there
that I can't imagine it coming through on a recorded medium. I hope that
the pro's can pull it off, I never could.
I have also been blessed over the years flying around to farm
fields and grass strips in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and
Wisconsin and my heart is full of warmth in the knowledge that America
still exists in massive doses that you will NEVER see or hear about in
the media. People are eager to meet you and share everything from a ride
to town for gas to a spare bedroom for the night and meals and making
you wait for some distant relative that is a Model "A" enthusiast. I
even got held up once for the local newspaper editor to come to the
strip so he could take some pictures and get some personal info for his
next week's paper! Nice, honest, open, friendly and caring people that
don't give a hoot-in-hell what Brittney Spears or Snoop Dog are doing
this week. It's paradise!!
Ditto to Jim Markle's post about why some of us fly Pietenpols.
To those of you building I will emphasize once more; don't spend any
more of your valuable life modifying or doing involved engineering
design changes, get that sucker put together safely and fly out to find
your own adventures. They are still "out there" waiting for you and you
will get all tingly just lying in bed on a cold winters night thanking
God for your turn on earth to experience them.
Sorry.................guess I still get a little carried away
talking about the real America and Piets.

This is my first post on this form. I am from the Dayton Ohio area and toda
y I attended the Reelstuff film festival. I watched the first public viewin
g of Barnstorming. This Film was done on a very low budget of a few guys th
at meet up in a small town in Indiana and they Barnstorm for the weekend. I
must say that this film was truly a testament to what American was and can
be. For all you Aviators out there, you will appreciate what this film bri
ngs out on our lives. It truly shows the what we are thinking while we are
out and about.

For me, I am a professional pilot, or a pilot that makes a living.. But whe
n I'm off of work I can't wait to get in my Champ and putt around at 500-80
0 feet so I can see and feel earth. This film will show you and also make y
ou feel that your part of it. I'm not sure when they will have the next vie
wing of the film, but it is a must see.

I had originally planned on staying in Rockford during Brodhead buy my plans have
now changed.
I will (hopefully!) be needing a ride from/to Madison on Saturday.
If everything works out, I could use a ride from one of the Hilton Hotels (Hampton
Inn maybe) first thing Saturday morning then returning as late as possible
Saturday night.
Does that align with anyone's schedule? If anyone is passing through Madison I
would be glad to take a taxi to any area in Madison to make it as convenient
as possible. And I will insist on pitching in for fuel.

I called the Brodhead contact in the Wisc flight guide and was told
there is no fuel at this time. They are waiting on a State inspection
and it may happen in time but not a for sure thing at this point.
Plan accordingly.

The set-up is identical in my Cont. C-145 in my Aeronca Sedan. Yes, the screen
is safety wired, but I always thought it very curious that the nut that holds
the oil temp. probe in there is not. If that got loose/fell out you would just
as easily drain all the oil from the engine pronto. And another thing along those
lines, I have many straight-thread fuel line connections that rely only on
torque to hold them in too. If any one of them got loose it would not make for
a good day. Any thoughts on this subject?

After that mixup in the Homebuilt Review, I wrote the following letter to
Tom Poberezny:
Tom Poberezny
President, Experimental Aircraft Association
P.O. Box 3086
Oshkosh, WI 54903-3086
August 3rd,
2009
Dear Mr. Poberezny,
I am writing this letter out of concern for the Experimental Aircraft
Association. Last year, EAA went to some lengths to survey the membership
to find out how the members feel about the direction the organization is
heading. The improvements to the Airventure grounds at Oshkosh that
resulted from that survey were well thought-out and much appreciated. I
understand that one of the results of the survey was that EAA should try to
get back to its roots in homebuilding aircraft. I applauded this news, as
I'm sure did a majority of the membership.
I'm concerned because I don't see the organization following through with
its promises. Even though the EAA has said it would put more emphasis on
homebuilding, Homebuilts and homebuilders still seem to be taking a back
seat to high-dollar corporate sponsors.
Last week I flew my Pietenpol Air Camper 700 miles from North Carolina to
Oshkosh. The trip took me 3 days (one entire day trying to get over the
mountains in Virginia). The primary reason I flew the Pietenpol up was that
I had been invited by Joe Norris to fly my plane in the Homebuilt Review.
On Wednesday I attended the flyby briefing, then taxied down to the end of
36L with 18 other homebuilts to have our 12 minutes (of the nearly two hour
pre-airshow festivities) of Homebuilt Review. However, once down at the end
of the runway, we were told that only 10 of the 19 could fly - the Homebuilt
Review was being cut short. There were three Pietenpols there, to celebrate
the 80th anniversary of the type. We had to flip a coin and the odd man out
(which was me) did not get to fly.
I was very disappointed, but then became disgusted when I saw what was
flying after the Homebuilt Review, that presumably caused our flight time to
be cut short - the ill-timed market entry of the Piper Jet. It is unclear
to me what that has to do with experimental aircraft. Once again, EAA has
demonstrated that what matters most is money. Homebuilders (particularly
plans-builders) don't generate much in the way of sponsorship dollars, so we
get scant attention at what used to be OUR convention.
I understand that you have expressed interest in stepping down as President
of the organization, but will retain your position as Chairman of the Board.
I think that you have done a tremendous amount of good in your tenure,
expanding the association to encompass virtually all of sport aviation. I
am particularly thankful for the development of the Young Eagles program.
However I would like to suggest that one of the requirements for your
successor should be that he/she had actually built an experimental aircraft,
preferably from plans (having built the Pietenpol from plans and currently
building an RV-10 kit, I can say that the plans-building experience is much
richer). I think this much is owed to the organization, since it is still
the EXPERIMENTAL Aircraft Association.

Seems like somebody's forgotten what the letters in the name stand for. The
"E" in EAA does not stand for Expensive, or Executive, but rather, it stands
for EXPERIMENTAL. By definition, that means that it is NOT certified,
factory-built (although, maybe in the case of the new "skycrasher" there is
a factory-built plane that does seem to be experimental). The focus
definitely seems to be on factory-built planes more than on homebuilts, and
that doesn't seem right, given the name and mandate of the organization. I
realize that the vast majority of aviation enthusiasts out there likely have
no interest in or desire to build (or assemble) their own plane, and would
much rather buy (or just look at) something shiny and "off the shelf" - and

to homebuilts that I DID find interesting and entertaining, and I did not

ain't all bad, that's for sure. It is definitely the only place in the world
where you would get to see all that they have to offer - incredible daily
airshows, free hands-on workshops, hundreds of Vintage and Warbird aircraft,
in addition to the Homebuilts, and the unique and rare planes that Oshkosh
can bring (Airbus 380, White Knight 2, Lancaster bomber... to name a few).
Airventure is a massive undertaking, and they do a fantastic job of
co-ordinating the throngs of people and planes that converge on one small
place for only one week of the year.
It just seems that the very reason for EAA's existance has gotten lost in
the shuffle. It's supposed to be about experimental aviation. I'm going to
play the role of an optimist, and assume that the reason there wasn't an
article about the Pietenpol anniversary in the latest issue was because
they're working on a special tribute for an upcoming issue, and they needed
a bit more time to give it the attention it deserves.

Well done it appears to me that the EAA is now upside down in its approach to honoring

Hello Fellers,
I was glad to- get in an hour of flying on sunday evening after work, but
it was chilly.- It was about 50-55 degrees or so, and not much wind so I
had to go.- I flew over to say hi to a friend of mine, and my low pass b
rought him and his wife and the kids out from the dinner table-to wave an
d wait for a second pass.- He lives out in farm country away from pretty
much any thing but corn and bean fields, so there is not to much to run int
o except the occasional stray cell tower.- After the 20 mile flight over
my face was cold and numb, so I figured I would go home and shoot a few lan
dings.- On the way home I saw a bunch of farmers cutting off their beans,
and a couple of hot air balloons off in the distance.-I was-flying alo
ng at 500 ft, watching the shadows grow longer and seeing the trees change
color in the sinking sun, I completly forgot about my face being cold.- A
fter my 1st wheel landing touch and go, I flew out made a 180 and landed lo
ng
the oppisite direction to cut down on my taxi back to my hanger.- I had
planned on making that the last landing, but the sky was so calm and clear
that I had to turn around and go around once more, before the daylight was
completly gone.- I don't get to fly as much as I did last year, before I
was a father, but I can't wait untill he is old enough to fly around with m
e and see the beauty of a cool fall afternoon,-on the loud, windy magic c
arpet that is the Pietenpol.

| Subject: | Re: Got a new camera |
Hey Billy,
Thanks for the kind words. The camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 AVCHD
Lite. It's Panasonic's effort at bridging the gap between
point-and-shoot digital cameras and dedicated digital camcorders. It
has true 12x optical zoom, which is why I bought it. As a camera, it
_can_ do well, but it is worthwhile reading up on its use as much as
possible to get the best results. The capabilities are great, but
because they exist, just relying on the defaults means the pictures
aren't as good as they could be. For instance, a Canon SD will give
much better pictures right out of the box (but not nearly as good
video). OTOH, the ZS3 _can_ produce great photos for the educated
user (of which I am not one yet), but the videos are _great_ without
much knowledge of the unit.
One other caveat - it's a little bigger than other point-and-shoot
cameras and the battery life is a bit short .
HTH,
Jeff

| Subject: | Your E-LSA Airworthiness Certificate may be about to expire, |
>From my EAA chapter in San Antonio
with potentially dire circumstances.
Excerpt from the EAA Oshkosh 365 web forum:
http://www.oshkosh365.org/ok365_DiscussionBoardTopic.aspx?id=1235&boardid=147&forumid=175&topicid=3176
"My original airworthiness Certificate for my E-LSA was issued in 2007
with an expiration date of January 31st, 2010. There were several
issued with that expiration date. Don't know if it was common in
E-LSA only or all experimental but if you go to FAA with a recent
annual in your aircraft log, fill out a form, they will re-issue a
airworthiness certificate that has no expiration date. If you wait
until after it expires, it can become a lengthy and perhaps costly
process, .
The regulations that allowed your aircraft to be certificated in the
ELSA category are written such that a new (or replacement)
airworthiness certificate cannot be issued after January 31st 2008.
So you can't apply for a new airworthiness certificate at all.
This makes it VERY important that you have your present airworthiness
certificate amended before it expires. Amending the certificate will
remove the allowance to use the aircraft for hire for flight training,
and will give you an unlimited expiry.
Contact your area FAA Flight Standards District Office and ask them to
amend your certificate for you. If they have questions have them call
EAA and talk to Randy Hansen or David Oord in the Government Relations
department.
Again, it is VERY important that you do not let the airworthiness
certificate expire because it cannot be replaced. The FAA cannot
amend an expired certificate, so this has to be taken care of before
January 31st 2010.

People say that is a normal flight for me! Except this guy is smoother!

Ha, Ha, I saw this same type act in the 1970s by a guy named Van White out of Shallowater,
Texas. We became friends several years ago. he described this as with
two more variations. One was a farmer who just bought a plane, the other was
a little old lady who won the raffle and would take off when the instructor
handpropped the plane.
Van said that as a result of this act he was the most grounded pilot in Texas at
one time. He would do an airshow and get grounded. Then get it cleared up and
would soon be grounded again.
Van's daddy flew a pietenpol and one hot Texas day when Van was 14 his daddy ws
having trouble clearing phone lines. His dad landed in a farmer's field and told
Van to get out and find his own way home! Van Later bought an Aeronca C2 bathtub.
He said it was so underpowered that his instructor told him he was on
his own after 3 hours of instruction.
Check him out at this link.

Yes he is a shirttail relation to the flying Franklin family.
He owned at Vtail and a clipped with T craft when I met him. By midfield he would
be climing out inverted in the Tcraft. 75+ with a cigar sticking out of his
mouth. as he flew by.
