Just got home from being at Corvair College. I was only able to be there todaybut it runs Friday through Sunday. The Pietenpol contingent was well represented.-congrats to Chuck Campbell for running his engine.-congrats to Keith Goff who got the last run of the day on his engine-John Francis got much accomplished on his engine and is not too far off from runninghis engine-it was great to see Bob Dewenter volunteering his time to help fellow builders.-Got to see two Southern gentlemen, P.F.Beck and Don Harper and their hospitality-Tim Hansen working on his engine -Bob Lester flew his Piet up from FL, yelling "I NEED COFFEE!" as he shut down.(it was COLD in Barnwell in the morning!)I will stop naming names as I know I will leave someone out. No offense if I did.Best of all was William Wynne and Grace Wynne providing a setting for all typesof builders to make great progress on their projects. A great aviation weekend.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Trombone bungee trim

Mine is a little Icom IC-A23 and what I do is clipit to the map holder down by my right calf using the belt clip on the back ofthe battery case. Well, that's fine until I pull the radio out to change frequencies.If I'm not real careful, the battery case snaps off and my radio isdead. Then I get to do the stick-between-my-knees shuffle, pull off one or bothgloves and hope they don't fly out, fumble around for the battery and clip,get everything back together, power up the radio, and then pull the airplaneout of a screaming, diving left corkscrew spiral ;o) I've got to find my BillRewey "handy details" and bend up one of his radio brackets to hold it up whereI can see it and get to the buttons easier.I use Ram cell phone mounts. Not the cheapest, but I find they are versitile anddo not fail.Put several more landings in yesterday and today using the very simple trim system.About a dozen so far since installation. Rock solid at 55 mph from downwindto base to final to landing. No doubt such a Rube Goldberg solution is notto everyone's taste, but works for me. If problems arise I'll let you all know.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 00:34:10 -0800
