Subject: Pietenpol-List: Had a killer weekHello good people!I just wanted to share my last week with you I purchased an engine for my Piet, its an 0235 I am really excited about it with little over 600 hrs SMOH, hat a light strike so I'll pull the crank and send it out for inspection and magna flux. I am looking at ECI in San Antonio for the inspection unless you have suggestions for other shops for the inspection and certification.On Sunday Fathers day I had my first EAA tech counselor visit and inspection he comments included phrases like great looking project and great workmanship. After working in a virtual vacuum for the past 18 months its niceto hear. Mad my day and I just had to share the news with you guys. I guess you need someone to validate your work.I got some great advice and am highly impressed with that program, anyone willing to take time out on fathers day to look at a project, spend the time and provide the guidance to me is just a great experience. If I had to find any justification for rejoining the EAA that's was more than I could have everhoped for.An I just needed to share that with the group, I had a killer week and I got an engine for my Piet, who could ask for anything more?John RecineNX895BP reservedBTW anyone got a line on a motor mount for the Lycoming 0235 engine or suggestions on what stock mounts will couple up to the Piet? I am up for suggestions oh yea its the low compression model so it should run pretty good onmogas from what I have read so far. I haven't been doing much gluing this summer but I am getting things done and off the list**************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aircraft gaugesKen,for what its worth I been collecting mine on ebay so at the moment I have a variety, still not sure which I am gonna use I do have 3 brand new whisky compass NOS Chinese if you're interested in one? if not no biggie just lettingya know is all.I am not certain about the rest at the moment, do I want to be a minimalist true to form or cheat and go high tech all in one Nav and Engine integrated system probes and all for $2400.00 is attractive. I know if I did something like that I will never hear the end of it but the economics and weight savingsare a tempting offset.JohnIn a message dated 6/17/2008 2:58:51 P.M.

Information such as: type of gauge, brand of gauge, tach (pulse, coil, or teeth counter) etc.. I am ready to assemble my panel and wonder "which" gauges and brands (where purchased). Don't need an F-14 cockpit but just curious what others are using.... Village IdiotKenneth M.

Here's West Virginia from the Cub big adventure of last month. I flew from the home of Jack Phillips in North Carolina, back to Hartford, WI on May 9 and 10th. 700 nautical miles and 13.5 flying hours to make it home. At this point in the adventure I was about 5000 ft with a groundspeed of 29 mph. Also pictured is Jack Phillips with list member Glenn "watch out for my flying wood" Thomas and a photo of the baggage strapped in and ready to go. I will admit to being pretty apprehensive about this flight but when I got going and out of the mountains and weather it was great fun and a huge sense of accomplishment.-john-John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2810 Crossroads Drive, Ste 3800Madison, WI 53718Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Jun 17, 2008, at 1:18 PM, Greg Chapman wrote:> >>> Man, you nailed it.
