Well, I couldn't believe things were so slow in the low 'n' slow Pietenpol world that there were zero messages in the digest from yesterday. Nothing.So here's my 9-11 report on NX41CC. My hangar mate and I are being evicted from our hangar. It was sold so we are having to move. The bad part is that I'm leaving on vacation for two weeks starting Wednesday, so I won't be here to help my buddy with the heavy lifting. I did work all day Saturday boxing things up, sweeping, and moving excess materials out of the hangar. What I didn't mention is that we are only moving to a hangar behind us here at San Geronimo Airpark, not across town or anything, so it isn't a huge distance but it's just as much effort as moving across town, it seems.The airplane is ready for the wings. Everything is complete on the fuselage, the engine has been run tested and is ready for prime time. I do have a new carb gasket and venturi to change out to see if I can help the rich running condition, and I don't have my smoke system fully worked out yet, but those are not essential items at this time.When I get back from the Mediterranean the end of this month, the wings will go back on the airplane, new W&B will be done, and we'll see if she can get air under her wings again. Shoot, maybe I'll help out the Minutemen patrolling the border down here once the airplane is flying again... I think it flies slow enough to give border crossers plenty of advance warning that they are about to be surveilled. And by golly, I'll be able to hit 'em with a blanket of smoke for good effect!See y'all in two weeks, and don't have too much fun Pietenpoling without me!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 08:17:40 -0700
