Pietenpol-List: Solo X-Country

Original Posted By: "John Francis"
youship.com or something... Google "ltl" which means "less than load" for placesthat'll quote you something cheaper than that likely.A buddy of mine was quoted $1500 to ship some 4x8 sheets of honeycomb, but gotthem shipped for a couple hunnert using youship (or who ever they were, shouldbe evident). And that was from CA to GA.Antique tractor website forums usually have opportunity haul discussion areas thatcan be helpful. Probably the BEST underground railroad is the old woodworkingmachine group (owwm.org). You'll have to join (no spam, it's safe) to getaccess to the opportunity haul forum called "rucker's rodeo". It's a VERY TIGHTLYrun bulletin board, pretend it's some woodworking machine part... likerip fence rails or something similarly sized or you'll get bounced off. Onceyou make contact with someone directly, it won't be a big deal.For example, I'll be running from Chatt to Oshkosh round trip in the next coupleweeks and will make a post there that I'll have room available if someone needsa machine moved... Or a wing, or motor, whatever.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Solo X-Country

John,Way to go! You and I are that much closer to getting to Broadhead in the nextfew years.I have not had this experience in a Cub, only a 172, and other "enclosed" cockpits.You have added motivation to my build.--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Solo X-Country

My guess, not claiming any knowledge of audio-visual, is that it's vibrating withthe glass. You might do better on some frame work....or fastened to your head!I'm sure you are steady as a rock....Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----
