Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Congrats to Kurt Shipman!!!That was one CLEAN airplane-Kurt deserved that Lindy fair and square. He was on a short leash to get home for some businesshe had to take care of when I spoke with him at Brodhead but I am so glad he gave the judges enough time to inspect and awardKurt's hard work. He's another Poplar Grove, IL guy if I'm not mistaken. I think next year Dan Helsper is going to take a Lindy and he'sfrom Poplar Grove as well. Way to go Kurt !Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 08:01:25 -0700 (PDT)

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: trip comments -- pretty girlsI noticed that in one of Jeff Boatright's many great video YouTube posts that BillRewey was extra helpful helping board one young lady into his airplane and helpingher with the shoulder and lap belts. And they probably think he's harmless--Hah ! There are some advantages to getting older:) ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: trip comments -- pretty girls

I think that was my wife. LOL!Every person that I have showed the video to has commented on that... "did yousee that? He put his hand right on her a$$." I say so what... she got a Pietride out of the deal. Ha ha!

Tim; I haven't tried this idea as yet but here it is for your information.My thought is to make up one end of the brace wires directly to the fitting, thenmount the fittings up with a number of washers between them and the structure,then make up the other ends as tight as possible, remove the washers, tighten,and all should be tight. This may take some trial & error to get it right.Seems like this will be easier using cable than hard wire but I haven't triedeither, as I said. This would eliminate shackles and turnbuckles; a littleweight and more money. If you try it, let me know you results as I intend to usethe idea.WillRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: trip comments -- pretty girls

Believe it not, those -A model RV's have quite a habit of burying the nosewheel.Like I always say "the little wheel goes in the back".Wayne Bressler Jr.Taildraggers, Inc.taildraggersinc.com> I even got to run out to the runway with Randy and a bunch of others > when a RV-7A stuck the nose wheel into the turf and turned over.

Darrel,It was certainly my pleasure to meet you, though it's definitely odd that wehad to travel so far when we only live 80 miles apart!! Someday you may wantto take your Stinson to Georgetown and I'll pick you up and show you mayproject.Realistically, I think I can make Brodhead 2011 in my Piet. In fact, Ihereby throw down the challenge:West Coast Piet builders - get ready for an historical mecca to Brodhead in2011 in our Piets!!I know Mike Groah will be flying by then, and so should Jim Boyer! ChrisTracy, Mike Weaver...you boys can do it, too! And, Darrel, I take back thatoffer to show you my project...you need to spend that day on the Pfeifer, soyou can join us!!Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.)-----Original Message-----
