Mark asked:>Can you tell me, in the views of the cockpit, what are the>two gauges at the bottom of the instrument panel for?Gene replied:>They look like oil pressure and temperature to me. Is that correct?Yep; that's what they are.And then Corky wrote:>installed instruments, connected all dual controls, labeled controls,>installed oxygen system,Whoa, Corky! You plan on cruisin' your Pietenpol up in the flight levels? It's mighty lonely at 12,500 in an open-cockpit airplane doing maybe 75 MPH mixing it up with the heavies up there... ;o) But I do like the weather down your way... "57% humility". Not like Texas (0% humility).Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Corky,If you are putting O2 in your plane, run a little hose to the carb for thatlittle extra power on take-off's and high speed fly-by's.
