Most of my little war wounds have to do with metal. I never believe that sharpmetal edges will get me, that I'll be careful, that it's too far to go acrossthe room to get a pair of gloves, that those edges really aren't all that sharp.They are, and in the rock/paper/scissors world of the shop or hangar, either6061 or 4130 beats human flesh every time.Then there was the time I stuck an X-Acto knife in my back pocket, just for a minute,to free up my hand for something else. While walking across the room later,the knuckle of my index finger found the razor-sharp knife blade, so theslice was quick and almost painless but I painted the bathroom red before itwas all over and the scar will be there forever.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Items from cleaned out Hangar

This weekend Karen and I flew our RV-4 to northern Virginia to attend awedding. We landed at Winchester and spent Saturday night with some friendsthere. Sunday morning, the weather was too bad to return to Smith MountainLake, so we flew south to Culpeper, where Gene Rambo was nearing completionon his Pietenpol. We were able to help him with a couple of minor tasks,but were unable to fly any further since the weather just got worse. HisModel A powered Pietenpol is absolutely gorgeous. Gene and I rolled it outof the hangar and cranked it up and it purrs like a kitten - the smoothestrunning model A I've ever seen.Since we couldn't fly back home yesterday, Karen and I spent the night withGene and his family, enjoying a scrumptious steak dinner in the process, andplanned to leave this morning. We left, but in a rental car since theweather was low IFR all the way home for us (it is raining at Smith MountainLake as I write this). I'll have to get back to Culpeper and retrieve theairplane later this week when the stationary front that has plagued us forthe last several days finally moves out to sea.Gene just sent me a text message saying that the FAA has signed off hisairplane, and if the rain will hold off he expects the first flight to betomorrow morning!Now he's got to get busy to fly off the hours so we can fly together toBrodhead in 3 weeks. Maybe when I get back there to retrieve the RV-4 I canhelp him put a few hours on it.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Another Black and Yellow German?

Years later, I'm screwing in a pocket screw with my cordless drill, holding allthe parts in VERY much the same fashion as I was the chisel that day about 15years before, remembering that day... followed IMMEDIATELY by the bit jumpingout of the screw and into my palm. I was able to push all the little globulesof fat that wrapped around the bit back into the wound before taping it allup.

Zeke,Thanks for the kind offer (just reinforcing that Pietenpol people are theBEST). Let me know when the Comanche is airworthy again, and if I haven'tgotten back to CJR by then I'll take you up on it. I will probably get upthere this weekend. I've got a friend who needs a BFR and an InstrumentCompetency Checkride from me. We may just do them as he flies me up toCulpeper to retrieve the RV-4. But if that doesn't work out and yourComanche gets out of the instrument shop I'll happily fly with you. Will you be flying the GN-1 to Brodhead?Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

While laying out a floor to tile it, I forgot to say "burn an inch" while doing the three four five triangle. The other guy who should have known, somehow didn't burn the inch. As we got underway the joints got a little tighter and then tighter still. I couldn't figure it out and then I said, "You did burn an inch didn't you?" The silence was deafening and then he said "Uhhh, no". We finished the floor with spacers, our plan B. Recently while drilling a larger hole in the motor mount piece, you know the one, one inch by three inches by one eighth, I held it down with my left hand while pulling down the drill press handle with my right. Cut a neat one eighth by three quarter inch slice out of my left nose picking finger. Thank God for super glue.Dennis Engelkenjohn-----Original Message-----
