=0AHere is a perfect-shape 4" altimeter for someone. Pricey, but you probably would be hard-pressed to find a better one.=0A=0A=0Ahttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/564AAOSwEK9T9u-d/$_14.JPG=0A=0A=0A=0A=0AItem # 201154839079=0A=0A=0ADan Helsper=0ALoensloe Airfield=0APuryear, TN=0A________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Very nice 4" altimeter on Ebay

Dan,Very nice looking indeed. That would look awesome in someone's Pietenpol.FWIW, I have a picture of the altimeter I found on eBay. It is being rebuilt andthe face restored. If anybody finds an altimeter that needs rebuilding let meknow and I will forward th einfo for the repair station doing mine. I was quoteda price of $250.00 to get mine restored.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: NX992WD "Finished"

Mike,Just curious about the "Kilo Tango" tail code. I looked up the tail code but couldnot find it on the Navy websites I went to. I always like to know the backgroundwhen builders choose certain features such as tail codes.Enlighten me, please.

He pulled his heavy overcoat around his neck a little more=0A tightly. This part of the city was not a place to tarry. Thieves and=0A whores were the only permanent residents here. Even the cops rolled through=0A these streets with a nervousness and an edge to heir normal macho banter.=0A Trouble and misery closed around everyone who ventured into this pustule of=0A urban blight like a leech on a warm vein.=0A=0A "Damn!", he hissed under his breath as he stepped on something soft that=0A squealed and skittered off into the darkness and dankness of the mist. It=0A can't be much farther he thought. It mustn't be much farther. The sickly=0A yellow flicker of light from a street lamp shone dimly through the fog as he=0A quickened his pace.=0A=0A There it was. The doorway seemed to be just blackness without definition.=0A=0A As he got closer, two winos eyed him suspiciously through bloodshot and=0A yellowed eyes. He hustled past them, their breath leaving a rank scent that=0A lingered on his clothes. The door pushed inward and the newcomer was=0A inside.=0A=0A The room was smoky and dim. The bar stank of liquor and broken dreams.=0A Several tables decorated the periphery. The man he had come to see was=0A sitting at one of those tables and beckoned him over to sit. The man was=0A darkly clothed and utterly shapeless. He might have weighed three hundred=0A pounds... or he may have been only bone. His shape was indecipherable. The=0A dark mans eyes were gazing down at the dirty glass in his hand, half filled=0A with cheap whiskey. He had been reading a glossy magazine filled with lurid=0A and obscene images. He folded it tenderly and stuffed it quickly into his=0A coat pocket like a vulture gobbling a rotten piece of flesh.=0A=0A "What is it you want of me?", the dark man asked, not lifting his eyes from=0A the glass. His voice rumbled deep in his belly like a toad.=0A=0A "I need you to tell me how to unsubscribe", said the newcomer in as even a=0A tone as he could muster.=0A=0A The dark man looked up from his glass slowly to gaze at the newcomer. His=0A eyes were a pale watery blue. And his gaze lingered on the newcomer.=0A=0A "You wish to unsubscribe?", he said, with a hint of amusement in his voice=0A but no trace of a smile on his thick pasty lips. "You come to me with a=0A need to unsubscribe?", he said, his voice getting louder now and any hint of=0A amusement gone. He sucked in his breath and hissed through his teeth=0A spraying the newcomer with a repulsive mist of spittle, "Why? Tell me why=0A it is that you wish to unsubscribe."=0A=0A The newcomer felt fear now creeping up his spine. "I don't have the time to=0A sort through all the posts", he mumbled.=0A=0A The dark man sat unmoved, his eyes stared at the newcomer without emotion.=0A His eyes were cold and amphibian.=0A=0A "And I sold the Pietenpol and bought a Husky", added the newcomer.=0A=0A He realized in a heart beat that he should not have said that. The dark man=0A had him by the throat with a quickness that seemed otherworldly. And the=0A dark man squeezed that throat as the newcomer wriggled and squirmed in a=0A voiceless scream. The dark man pulled the newcomers face to his own until=0A they nearly touched noses. He breathed his fetid breath on the newcomer and=0A a trickle of drool escaped his mouth to plop loudly on the table between=0A them.=0A=0A "Go!", he rumbled. "Go now you fool!", he bellowed. "Run if you can. It=0A shall do you no good! Once you have subscribed, all hope of ever=0A unsubscribing is gone! We will find you. Your email is now ours to=0A control. Your email box will fill to bursting with our messages. And there=0A is no hope for you. There is no good deed you can do to change what you=0A have done. The List will not be denied!"=0A=0A And with that he released the newcomer who reeled and staggered towards the=0A door, gagging and stumbling. The dark man began to laugh, a low rumbling=0A laugh that grew louder. The newcomer fled up the streets as he had come=0A with the croaking bellowing laughter chasing him. He was doomed... and he=0A knew it.=0A=0A The dark man sat back at the table in the dimly lit bar and sipped at his=0A drink.=0A=0A "I guess I could have just told him to go to=0A http://www.matronics.com/subscribe/=0A=0A and follow the directions to unsubscribe", he muttered under his breath.=0A No, he smiled to himself. That would have been all too easy. Still=0A chuckling to himself, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the magazine=0A he had been reading before the newcomer interrupted him. He quickly thumbed=0A through the slick and edge worn pages until he found his place. He never=0A missed a single word of each and every issue of Martha Stewart Living...=0A=0A Anonymous=0A=0A=0A=0AOn Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 9:16 AM, wrote:=0A=0APlease unsubscribe=0A=0A=0A" target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Piet ... 0A=0A=0A-- =0A=0ABlue Skies,=0A=0A================================================================================= -Matt Dralle, List A=========================================================0A=0A=0A=0A________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Very nice 4" altimeter on Ebay
