I was wondering if one could take a piece of angle steel and insert down the middleof the tube for bending resistance or how about welding the piece on thebottom outside of an Axel you are already using? Also can anyone advise on theanti rotation pin and receiving tube. the thickness of the bracket attached tothe wood bottom piece is about 16 guage so should the receiver tube be the samewall thickness? Thanks for the feedback.CraigRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Early spring flight

To celebrate the end of phase I testing, I went for an early morning flight and watched the ground fog burn off. Absolutely gorgeous! Put simple tape on the prop and it sounded quieter until the ends flew off. It was old. Am getting fresh from ace.________________________________________________________________________________

Douwe,There is nothing quite like early morning flying above low laying fog. It's justindescribable and makes ya wonder why you're so fortunate to be the one upthere taking it all in.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Marcus;One way you could set sort of a benchmark is to just go out for an hour with afull tank, climb to about 1500-2000', and set power to cruise at about 70 MPHindicated. Fly around and have fun at that cruise setting and altitude more orless, and an hour later, top off the tank again and see how much you burned.I'm guessing it will be 4.5 to a max of 5 gallons.41CC started life with a metal prop on the A65. I'll have to dig out the logsto see what the prop was. It's never had a metal prop since I've owned it, though.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Early spring flight
