HI MikeMy belts attach to the tail wheel with a cable that goes forward to about where the bell crank is. Both sides of the seat belts attach and the shoulder harness attaches to the same point. If anyone is interested I can send a couple of pics.Dick N.----- Original Message -----

Hi JimYes the prop is apparantly the only damage at this point. I am giving it a very strong annual right now and havent found anything else other than a loose nut on the tail wheel.Later Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

That's all you need to do, Gardiner.Since enough time has elapsed to requireanother Condition Inspection, do the inspection noting all the repairs made.Sign it off as a normal inspection (you do have the Repairman's Certificate,don't you?).Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

(1) I am new at this experimental stuff. (2) With the original Piet powered at 65hp - My 100hp O-200 is most likely a bitmuch for the airframe's original design (3) I am one to error way on the side of caution.(4) I am going to adjust my V-speeds to match the Piet website - I like the ideaof being very conservative with respect to pushing structural limits.(5) I am not in a hurry - the journey is the fun part!

Lesson Learned the Hard Way .....I am having paperwork issues with Mr. Sam. Thanks so much to the local FSDO -I have recovered some of the missing documents. Still working on issues suchas the Phase II signoff which is not in the temporary logs. When the originallogs are found, I am sure that the Phase II signoff as well as many other thingsI need will be in them.Paper can be lost or destroyed. PDFs live for ever. I am scanning every pieceof paper associated with Mr. Sam into PDFs. I won't go thru this pain again.--------Jim McWhorterN687MB (New Owner)Culpeper, VA KCJRRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A Pietenpol named Mr. Sam

Jim,Perhaps the local FSDO already did this for you. Go to WWW.FAA.gov and order theCD from the FAA that has all paperwork that has ever been created for yourairplane. I did it for mine and was very surprised at everything that was on it.Turns out I was missing stuff too and dad and I built the darn thing. Theplane has never our family. If I remember correctly, it is only 6 bucks andI received it in less than two weeks. Highly recommended.

Well timed question for me too... I just finished the second coat of varnish (man-o-warspar varnish) on the exposed areas of my fuse, and one coat on the rearof the fuse.Even after sitting for a week, the "stirred well before application" second coatseems soft and pills up with a light sanding (102 degrees today so it shouldbe 'cured' after a week I'd guess). First coat is hard and dry... Second coatseems like I could scratch it easily, and it is the floor of the fuse inside.Can I use West System Epoxy to make a final coat over the varnish, or would thatprevent some kind of 'curing' that I am unaware of with the varnish...? I amusing the West Systems 105 and 205 to build the plane and it is outstandingstuff. I spoke to a friend at church that built an all wood Barracuda and usedWest Systems for his sealing finish and really likes it, but I am afraid of makinga mess if I paint over the varnish with it and it needs a month or somethingto finally set.Thanks!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: A Pietenpol named Mr. Sam
