WaltI had an EAA chapter meeting at my hangar last Wed night. One of the guys theregave me a warning about the Aeronica pipes, which I also use, along with severalothers on the list. This guy said he once had a pipe break which came downand destroyed the prop and caused an emergency landing.Apparantly, there is an additional support bracket which is supposed to tie thepipes together for safety. I've never seen this, maybe someone else on the listhas more info.I probably won't be back in the air for a couple of more weeks. Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
