I was required to do 3 turn spins in Cherokee when qulifying for coml. I
hated em, took my instructor (vietnam l-19 driver)up for aditional help,
he damn near tore the wings off, skin was rippling and airspeed way past
red line. I would never intenionally try to spin my 6a, (chicken Charlie)

I installed my Gretz during wing construction, but I think it would be
simple enough to install it after the fact. The skin dimpling could be done
with a pop-rivet dimple set.
Here's one pic of my gretz install to help you out. There are other pics
also. Fellow builder, Mike Stewart, advised me to use some rubber fuel
line, courtesy of autozone, to connect the gretz copper line to the aluminum
pitot run. Using this flexible line makes it easy to connect everything
without having open access.

Good luck.

Karl,
Just done it also..... put my Gretz tube in the bay next to the wing
access panel (wingtip side)
- Thoughts to consider..... figure how you will countersink the skin
before doing any riveting. I didn't and a fellow builder recommended I
build a countersunk backplate. By using a countersunk screw I was able to
pull the skin into a somewhat countersunk area.... but it isn't pretty.
- Riveting.... you'll need to poprivet the support brackets....
- The smart chip (circuit board) Seemed to challenging to install the
platenuts on the rib, so I built a raised platform to mount the chip right
on the access panel but ensured the back of the circuit panel didn't touch
the aluminum access plate.
- Connecting the pitot line. Have to move the installed (aluminum) line to
the new position. Bought a 1/4 by 1/4 copper pipe connector in the Home
Depot aviation isle. Haven't bent the copper tube on the Gretz unit
yet,
but feel it's necessary to avoid a right angle in the pitot static line.
On the road, so I don't have pictures..... Hope this helps....

| Subject: | Re: Aircraft zoning issue |
Does our emailing the City Council really have any effect? Most
politicians are very careful to only pay attention to their constituents
(if they even pay any attention to them). Normally, people from outside
their districts are of no consequence to them.
If any of them do pay attention, which ones should we email to? There
are 19 members listed at the web site.
