The Benton, KS Fly-In will be on Saturday,October 12, 2002, at Benton Airpark - about 10 miles NE of Wichita KS, on Rt. 254. If you are traveling Rt. 135 (it goes north / south, right through Wichita), turn east on Rt. 254 about 10 miles, Benton is on the south side of this nice 4 lane highway, and the airport is on the south side of town. Head south, through town, about a mile the hard surface road turns west, and the airport is a few hundered yards, on the south side of this road...caution: Low Flying Aircraft. If you are flying in, there are two water tanks in Benton, and the airport is about a mile west of the 'ball' type water tank, on the south side of town. Right Hand traffic on runway 16, grass strip on the west side of the new hard surface runway. If you plan on using the grass strip, please let me know, and I'll fill you in on all the nooks and cranny's of the grass strip. There is no camping allowed at Benton Airpark, but just a few miles away is a couple of lakes, where camping is allowed. Or you could probably find a Motel / Hotel within 10 or 15 miles, or you could sleep in the pile of sawdust on my dining room floor. So, it is just a get together of people who build and fly homebuilt planes, or any plane, for that matter, but I hope the weather is perfect , and we could blacken the sky with Pietenpols !!!Chuck GantzerWichita, KSNX770CGp.s. Lets start this thread to take a 'roll call' on people who think they will be there.________________________________________________________________________________

Jon,If your tach has one of those right-angle drive gear boxes on the back of it youcan probably replace it with a "normal" tach by switching the right-angle gearboxaround. Many of these gearboxes are made to be reversable by dismantlingthem and putting the input into the opposite end where there is a plug now. Ifyou can do that, you are able to shop a much larger selection of tachs.Regards,Bob Seibert________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: 2002 Benton, KS Fly-InDate: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 07:45:42 -0500

Would everyone please get the word out about our fly-in ? It is not yet sanctioned by the EAA, so it isn't in the magazines.Chuck Gantzer________________________________________________________________________________

Headquarters doesn't sanction fly-ins. They will publish the dates forfly-ins if you get them into them in time to be included in the publicationschedule. If you don't notify EAA, it won't get printed. Pretty simple.Cy GalleyEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.org or experimenter(at)eaa.org----- Original Message -----
