Pietenpol-List: finger strainer problem
Original Posted By: Dan Yocum
Hey Bob,I remember a similar problem getting my strainer(s) to screw nicely into thealuminum weld-on fitting. Assuming you have the matching sizes.I forced one, NOT the way to go because the brass just rethreads thealuminum making it worthless when you need to remove it. I bought thecorrect size national pipe thread tap and lightly cleaned out the aluminumbushing threads. I also needed to do this because the finger strainerdidn't want to go far enough in. It stuck out way too much and was ugly.Also, ck the brass threads for nicks and dings which could be making thingsharder. Ck for proper size first though.Remember NOT to use pipe tape.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2013 09:26:37 -0500

As long as the gross weight of the plane is less than 1230 lbs you can fly it asa light sport. LSA designation is for the factory built plane and the E-LSAwould be a kit or plans built Light sport. Your airplane is better kept in theexperimental category. Fewer restrictions and will holder more value if youdecide to sell it. I have been flying mine for about six years without a medical.All you need is a current drivers license.

Since it doesn't do anything a LSA can't, there's no overriding reason to registerone over the other. An example I can think of is if you put lights in it, may as well register it normallyso it could be flown at night by a private or above.Yes, you can exercise LSA in any plane as long as it meets the requirement of lightsport, it doesn't have to be registered light sport. It's easier to registera plane light sport is why that exists.

If you fail a medical flight exam you can't be a sport pilot. If you have neverfailed one, you can just begin excercising your privilages. I have hopes of getting my CFI (and Instrument and commercial on the way). If Ilose my physical i will be sunk. But I can Excercise my privilages as a Sportpilot instructor if I have not failed a physical. Blue Skies,Steve DPS I advise almost all beginning pilots to go Sport Pilot first.

Both fun. I do particularly enjoy flying around during sunrise. I've done ittwice light civil and bunches in jets (Navy and commercial). I'd love to experienceit open cockpit. Night flight is generally calmer. Enough so that I would frequently trim the planeup and let it land itself (as the flare is optional is heavily built Navyplanes). I'd see how far out I could let go and see if it would maintain allthe way through touchdown (the S3 gets a big nose down pitch as it hits groundeffect, only did that once!). On cross countries at night in a clamshell canopy plane, I'd have the student turnoff ALL the lights (outside and in) and see a moonless starlit sky from anew perspective.Full moon nights where you don't really need lights (from a practical point ofview) are like dusk or sunrise, but it lasts forever and ever...Seen TONS of fantastic firework displays flying around, those are pretty cool andsomething I'd love to see from a Piet. The Vegas strip at night (one visualapproach has you turning right over the Seattle needlepoint looking thingy)is awesome! The LA basin, DFW metroplex, NYC all much better looking at night.The grand canyon... not so much! The entire south east after Katrina, again,big black hole. Up and down a rocky coastal expanse with lots of bio luminismat night, WOW. Spotting streaking dolphins or submarines because of bio luminism...again, wow.Right in the middle of the day, bouncing around, crazy hot, hazy enough that theview is far from spectacular, some of those flights are merely transportation.So like most things, it just depends.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: To LSA or not to LSA
