Subject: Pietenpol-List: Next TACO meeting to honor Steve RuseActually the subject line should read... Next TACO meeting to honor and induct Steve Ruse and gawk at his new Texas Air Camper...As soon as Steve has an idea of when he will have his Air Camper in Texas, and at a time convenient to him, let's have a meeting. Maybe we can tie this into Mike Cuy's visit. Maybe Corky can swing by? Maybe Oscar will have his repairs done and can meet us at a location between San Antonio and Dallas if thereisn't a Presidential TFR. Maybe some other Yankees other than Mike can visit?Just a thought.Sterling5TA6NOTAMS. Fresh cow chips on runway, land at your own risk. ________________________________________________________________________________

That sounds like fun Sterling, I can't wait to get it back here and spendspring, summer, and fall burning Avgas. I'll have the plane here ASAWA (AsSoon As Weather Allows). I'd be glad to drop down into the hill countryonce I get it here, there is some great barbeque to be had down there.Thanks for the welcome everyone...I can't wait to meet more of you. Seemslike a great group.Later this spring I plan on buying some wood and fabric and re-creating thevertical and horizontal stabs for a Pietenpol, just to learn more abouttheir construction. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find time to build anentire Piet.SteveDallas, TX -----Original Message-----

Steve...Sorry for the delay in answering your inquiry about the price quote fromUS Buildings. We've been out of town for the last ten days. The price I wasquoted on 4/6/04 for a model Q33'-16' which is 33 feet wide and 20 feet long withmax height of 16 feet was $5750.00 delivered to Huntsville, Alabama.. Theperson who made the quote was Andrea C. Gimin. You might want to talk to KarenSmith (factory consultant) first. Do you know they have a free video which theywill send upon request?...Carl Vought----- Original Message -----

Les,Yeah, I went thru this with my Mentor on a 65 idle setup. First you have toset up the carb to the manual. Then , as I was told, you have to find thehappy medium on the idle mixture. The main thing is that the Stromberg carbdoesn't have an acelerator pump like all the cars do, so you have to set itup so that it will stumble the least on acceration. and work the throttleaccordingly.
