Dan, great video. I notice you had all the proper procedures in place and hada fire extinguisher placed at the ready. When I did the startup on my A65 afterthe rebuild (new carb, airbox, exhausts, etc.) I did the same thing and wasglad because I had fueled it with autogas and the Stromberg didn't like that,leaking fuel and flooding the airbox. Had a fire broken out I would have neededthe extinguisher in a hurry and it would have needed to be ready at hand.With avgas, no flooding and no worries and I can start the engine almost on thefirst flip every time, even without impulse couplers on either mag. 41CC isrunning strong, flying well (except for the corrosion around the ELT!) and onlyneeds a few things looked at when I get some hangar time. At the moment, weare flying patrol to maintain peace during these times of economic distress andpolitical upheaval. I've seen no riots or heard of no financiers jumping offof building ledges, so I assume that the mission is being effective. I shallcontinue to fly patrol without letting up!Ernie, good to hear that you're going to build another Piet, but how in the worldare you going to fit another project into your hangar/garage??? Last timeI was there you had the Piet, Tri-Pacer, Gypsy, and something else in there already!Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Anyone leave their Piet uncovered on a tie-down?

Thanks, Gene. I've got a couple of wooden boats in my backyard right now that I built and nomatter how particular I was during the construction process, they both have endedup with some wood rot/fungus here and there. It's usually from the fiberglasscloth/epoxy pulling up from the wood. I'm thinking the fabric covering onan aircraft my provide a bit more protection...--------Location: Eastern N.C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 8904#208904________________________________________________________________________________
