Oscar,My son lives in Marion, IA. I let him base my Aeronca over there at the Marion Airport a few years ago, for the summer. This is a privately owned airport (the only one that is open to the public in the whole state they claim) and is run by a husband and wife team. As I remember, they generally have a few open T hangars available whenever I go over there. No great shakes but your Piet would be out of the rain and hail. You could give them a call and see what the situation is. Whenever I asked if I could leave my airplane there overnite (tie down) they were accommodating. The first names of the owners are Pat and Perry I believe. I hear they recently almost sold out to the city for an industrial park, but couldn't work out a deal. They have a nice fly-in there every June and the whole town comes out for breakfast.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL. ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:34:41 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Where to locate rear bottom inspection plate

I plan on using a method called out in the Boredom Fighter plans by Don Wolf. Sew Dacron tape to each side of two 18-inch zippers with excess protruding pasteach end (to be trimmed at installation). Cover the teeth with masking tapeand install during tape application of the covering process. When cover andpainting is done, remove masking tape, open zippers and cut fabric underneathwith a razor blade.I found that Polyfiber remained flexible enough not to crack after numerous annuals(or condition inspections) and this provided plenty of access. I tied thetwo zipper pulls together with rib-lacing cord during operation.I did no engineering or calculations and no numbers were harmed during applicationor use. Use at your own peril.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/zipp ... ______Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 10:25:44 -0500
