Well after a move and about a year, finally getting started on the Pietagain. It's been tough finding (and remembering) where everything is andwhere I left off. Looking forward to moving forward. Excuse the incorrecthardware. Does anybody have a good source for the hardware? Should it bebrass?Thanks!Jack TextorWest Des Moines, IA________________________________________________________________________________

Yes it is Dan, they were used on various models, heated, operable to 100,000 feetand 6Gs. Two day movement. Just what a Piet needs! Works well.Sent from my iPadJack Textor> On Dec 5, 2014, at 10:31 PM, "dwilson" wrote:> > > Jack, Is that one of those Russian automatic mechanical clocks out of a MIG23 ?

The Rudolph Piet just goes to prove that Ford powered Piets can fly on and on andon!As far as the EAA, I quit the association some years ago when the flagship publication(the main reason I joined EAA 35 years ago) featured "homebuilts" thatcost in the six figures, green tractors, and other things that did not interestme or reflect what I consider to be experimental aviation. The one shiningstar in the EAA line of publications has been the "Hints for Homebuilders" seriesof video clips. THAT is real stuff, by real people, for real people. Yes,they have a few "factory people" in some of the videos, but they are sharingvaluable skills and information.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Getting Started Again

Jack;You'll find that the layer of dust and rust on your building skills is pretty thinand it wipes off easily. Glad you're back in the shop! To elaborate a biton what Dan said about panel hardware, it's because of the mag compass thatbrass (or nonferrous) hardware is recommended. Ferrous metal in proximity tothe compass can affect it. I don't see your mag compass in the picture, so maybeif you have it located on the underside of the wing it won't matter if youdon't use brass hardware on your panel. I think brass would enhance the alreadyvery attractive look of the panel though.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: the Eagle
