Greg,Good to hear that you are almost ready for the Official Pietenpol List Industrial Fish Scale. At present, Mr. (mean man) Gene Rambo, of the great state of Virginia, has possession. Last I heard he had a request entered to keep it until his "further testing" could be performed. If we could get him to chime-in here with his current inclination to relinquish, it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I have taken due note of your shipping address.Mr. Rambo, are you out there?Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----

Yes, I am probably going to do another test on Monday. I have been chasing a poor idle problem and may have it licked. If I don't, I can relinquish ...GeneOn Dec 8, 2012, at 5:36 PM, helspersew(at)aol.com wrote:> Greg,> > Good to hear that you are almost ready for the Official Pietenpol List Industrial Fish Scale.

OK Gene, When you are finished, if you could kindly advance it directly on to Greg, and make a note on this list at that time, that would be good.Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----

I'm not quite ready to get in queue for the scales, but close. I finished washingup Scout today, looks MUCH better now, and will start in on a few minor repairsthat are needed. One of those is replacement of the front main seal onthe engine, which has been weeping a fine mist of oil into the prop wash. Mythought is to run the static thrust test with the prop that's on it, then go outand fly to do some timed climbs and level WOT cruise, then go back to the hangarand pull the Culver prop, change the seal, and install the Prince prop. Changing the seal will be just a bit easier with the prop off the hub. I'll follow that up with a static fish scale thrust test to compare the Princeto the Culver, go out and fly some time-to-climb and max level cruise, and I'llbe done with the scales.I'm weeks away from that yet, but will raise my hand when I think I'm ready.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2012 22:44:39 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Fish Scale list- Calling Gene Rambo
