I went to KLAM yesterday and spent the morning with the EAA Chapter Pres Jeff whojust happened to have a Piet engine sitting on the stand. No matter what Itried I couldn't get him to turn his back long enough to allow me to stick itin my pocket. I was drooling though! Sorry Oscar I hope the drool marks didn't mess it up too much!I did take some pictures and if you'd like Jeff I'll post them or forward themto you and you can post them. Here's proof of the hostage (I wish!)!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc_ ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Buckeye Piets for Barber Fly-in

Hey Shad and other Buckeyes,Shad, are you going to try to make it over to the Barber Fly-in next weekend? I know it was mentioned a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd bring it up again.I'm shooting for at least being there early Saturday morning for breakfast andwhatever else. I know it is an alternative engine fly-in but I figure if Ican at least get another Piet with an auto engine to show up maybe I'll blendin. If anyone on the list shows up and the weather is decent and I can shoehornthem into the front pit the offer is open for a ride. Last year was the firstyear I think so the turnout was low. There were a few Corvairs that flewin though. KR's I think. Still fun though! It would be really cool to get afew Piets there!

Rick, I'm getting ready to leave on a six week motorcycle trip and it would be best for me if you would send me your address and I'll get a copy off to you. As to how their mounted, keep in mind that I did not build the Piet and I simply copied the way it was attached in the first place. It is attached with bolts thru the aluminum with large backing washers and nuts. Works very well.Hope that helpsGene________________________________________________________________________________

Pietenpol-List: Re: Suggestions on finding media blasting
Original Posted By: "Patrick Panzera"
Hi,If you want to do it yourself its possible with a little compressor, just veryslow. Harbor freight has a little (20 lbs) maybe hopper type blaster thats cheap($25 I think) and only uses about 3-4cfm at pretty low pressure, which is inthe range of small compressors. You can get media from walnut shells to fastcutting stuff from HF as well. Eastwood company has baking soda blasting stuffif you want to do it really light.Your signature said Chicago area.. there must be hundreds of places that do mediablasting around there, would look under powder coating, as nearly all the placesthat powder coat also do media blasting. The media goes everywhere though, if its a removable part I would remove it anddo it as far from your house as possible, protect eyes/lungs/skin.. both blastingand powder coating are very messy.JimRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
