The EAA wood book is worth havng, as is their aircraft welding book. Amongother things, their welding book tells how to flatten the ends of tubing andthere are several places on a Pietenpol where this technique is required.With those 6 books, virtually everything you need to know to build aPietenpol is covered.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Willy Nilly about carb heatSo glad you're okay Dale. Congratulations on a fantastic job of 'planting' (forgive that one, please..)your plane on that narrow dirt corn path. Wow...that's tight but you did great.I used my carb heat cable (okay abused!) control so much in the first 6 years of flying that it broke one fine dayso I replaced it. (there was a bind somewhere that I worked out and it wasn't lubed fully)Being the willy nilly flyer that I am I always leave my carb heat on after I check in on runup before takeoff. Most timesI'll actually start the takeoff roll with carb heat on and within the first 100 feet I make it cold. Just a precaution almost nomatter what the weather conditions are.In other news I wonder if anyone has ever put a full-open spring on their throttle arms in case their throttle linkage wouldever fail? I did this on the Corby Starlet I owned because I didn't like the ball and socket setup that was required withthe linkage geometry. The airflow in the cowling would have pushed the throttle arm to idle should that link have ever busted.Just some thoughts.Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: books to buy
