takes guts - I've always thought about trying it for the same reason - to experience it when you expect it. You may have just inspired me... Or maybe not.Tom B.Date: Mon=2C 24 Aug 2009 17:48:03 -0700

Group,I have been debating on the type of engine for my Piet. I needsomething with horses since my field elevation here in UT is 4700ft. Myneighbor has been over to visit and see my project as well as my T-craftproject. He told me he has an old 0-235 on an airboat that he would sellme for $1200. It runs but leaks oil like crazy and needs new mags andwho knows what else. It has a carb, not sure which type and the junkerboat. I could turn and sell the boat for $600 and have a certifiedengine for $600. My fear is buying an old engine with no logs and anunknown history and having to pay big money to have it gone through tobe able to put it on my Piet. Any suggestions from experienced flierswould be appreciated.BrianSLC, UTBrian JardineL-3 Communications Operations Project Engineer 640 North 2200 West P.O.Box 16850 Salt Lake City, UT 84116 L > 801-594-3482brian.e.jardine@L-3com.com________________________________________________________________________________

Jack,Always loved your choice of a name - never any mention of wax, however, so I assume you won't have the same problem (besides, i think the problem altitude is a lot higher than your ceiling).Considering calling mine "sweetie" - along with a graphic of a skunk peaking out of a darkened hangar.Kip GardnerOn Aug 25, 2009, at 7:33 PM, Jack Phillips wrote:> No worse than =93Icarus Plummet=94, although a lot of people don=92t > understand the reference.>> Jack Phillips> NX899JP>

Dan,My son and I ordered The Claw for use with our Cub. Works well, no complaints.The Flyties that Mike showed appears to be much the same principle but is $10cheaper and 2 lbs. lighter. Mike's a smart shopper!PaulRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: portable tie down suggestions high strength Delrin. Delrin has good weathering and chemical resistance. Delrin is used extensively on the space shuttle."The NASA connection...... ;)RyanYou know Ryan I was in such a hurry to order a set of tie downs so they would arrive before I left for WI that I didn't even read those words above. I will say one thing negative about the Fly-Ties--- that high strength Delrin isn't high enough in strength to pound those stakes in all the way because when I did the little tabs on the stakes near the head of the stake chipped little pieces of Delrin from the 3-hole Delrin donut-type fittings ! I won't drive my sakes in all the way when I attend Lee Bottom Flying Field's fly-in later in September when I camp out under the wing again. So much for space shuttle-worthy !http://www.leebottom.com/______________ ... ______Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:59:30 -0500

Dan I'd suggest looking at the EAA's Airventure pages. They have a wholesection on tie-downs: http://www.airventure.org/planning/tying_down.htmlThey do not recommend the screw type or auger type tie downs because theyloosen the soil. The information they list is based on 50 years of fly-inexperience where they've seen all kinds of tie-downs and all kinds ofweather.I like everything about the Claw except the price. They work well, and thecompany is very responsive to problems. I've had mine since 2002 and itcame with a wooden handled hammer, which broke. They replaced it with asteel shank hammer, which eventually broke. They replaced it with afiberglass handled hammer which I have not been able to break. The ropesthey provided at first were too short for my Pietenpol, so I complained tothem at OSH that year. They gave me a new set of longer ropes on the spot."They're good people, Axel"Jack PhillipsNX899JPIcarus Plummet-----Original Message-----
