Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead repairI went out today to fuel up NX2RN and check things out for the flight tomorrow. I found a fair amount of chafing on my fixed gear bungees. The casing is worn thru but all strands of rubber intact. I picked up new bungees today and all supplies to replace them, but there is no one around the airport to help me stretch new ones on short notice. I am comfortable with flying to Brodhead, so could someone who is driving down, bring along a bottle or sissors jack and a couple of blocks of wood to help me repair.I am hoping to be there by 1 pm. tomorrow. Hopefully, with a tail wind and non stop 245 mi.Thanks Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________
