The prop bolts on NX18235 would be loosened in November when it was put away for the winter and then re-torqued during the annual condition inspection in April. Always followed the Sensenich recommendations of 15-19 ft. lbs. for AN6 bolts.There was never a problem with it but last winter we installed belleville spring washers per Marc Zeitlin's instructions that are attached.It has been working great and I don't need to keep re-torquing the prop bolts.Greg CardinalMinneapolis ----- Original Message -----

Got checked out in my Piet in December. Great flying weather. Even better this year with snappy, Douwe-inspired leather helmet.Sent from my iPadOn Sep 10, 2013, at 9:25 PM, "Jack Phillips" wrote:> Why would you put an airplane away in November?> > Jack Phillips> NX899JP> Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia>

I grew up in MN & some years November would have been kinda late to put a plane away for the winter.Kip GardnerOn Sep 11, 2013, at 1:05 PM, Rick Holland wrote:> |>Why would you put an airplane away in November?>> I think we would have to spend a winter in Minnesota to understand > that.>> rh>>> On Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 7:25 PM, Jack Phillips > wrote:> Why would you put an airplane away in November?>>> Jack Phillips>> NX899JP>> Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia>>

The "Fun Factor" disappears quickly when the temp drops below 50 F. I stand inawe of the hardy individuals like Dick Navratil who fly year-round or Don Emchwho puts his Piet on skis.I flew NX18235 on a 1 hour flight last November to it's winter home. The temp was42 F. It was a nice flight but I'm glad it wasn't any longer.Greg Cardinal[quote="kipandbeth(at)earthlink.n"]I grew up in MN & some years November wouldhave been kinda late to put a plane away for the winter.Kip GardnerOn Sep 11, 2013, at 1:05 PM, Rick Holland wrote:[quote]|>Why would you put an airplane away in November?I think we would have to spend a winter in Minnesota to understand that.rhOn Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 7:25 PM, Jack Phillips wrote: [quote] Why would you put an airplane away in November?Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia

My wife and I once made a one hour flight in 21 degree temp. When we landed shecouldn't speak. Her jaw was frozen. We poured hot tea down her and when shecould speak again her first words were. I'm flying home in Bobs plane. Hehas windows and a heater. We were pretty young back then. My new rule is, Idon't go flying unless the temperature is at least as high as I am old. Thatwould be 52 degrees this year.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:33:08 -0700 (PDT)

Let me rephrase the question: "Why would anyone live in a place where youcan't fly all year?"Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Why fly in winter? You have to try it to answer that question. The air is very amooth and the ice on lakes gives you lots of emergency landing strips.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

If I esblished that criterior=2C I would rarely get to fly -- there are a few days every year when the temp gets that high -- but not very many. Chuck> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wood relaxation
