Scott and I each got a couple landings this morning in the yard... Complete withsix inches of snow! Videos later. Hope to get some more flying in on Saturday.Got confirmation we will be having our first ever fly in guest coming Saturday.Gardener got in about an hour ago.Unfortunately had half a dozen guys stuck last night due to road closures, butall made it in this morning alright. Already made our first part, to get Scott's broke truck out of the way to startrestoring a jointer for a guy who lost everything in a fire, tools he used tomake a living. Will be pouring babbit nuts for the table adjusting mechanisms.Tons of great beer and food showing up. Anyone on the fence should hop off andhead over!ToolsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I'm not a fan of fuel mangement procedures. The work load in any cockpit is highenough. That's one of the reasons I like highwings in general. When I boughtmy Airbike, that was one of the first mods I made. Previous owner had it setup for either/or on the wing tanks. That just didn't make sense to me.Whatever method I employ will be hands off in flight, and there will be no wayto starve the engine as long as there is fuel in the tank(s).As a basic philosophy, I want engineer the ship to minimize the oportunities forpilot errors to create hazards.--------Andy Garrett'General Purpose Creative Dude'Haysville, KansasRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Toolstock officially underway.

I know it's hard to believe but there's actually quite a bit of room up in thecenter section. I can fit my tie downs, air mattress, tarp to cover the cockpits,and my nylon Hilton up there. I'm kinda long so I like to have a long enoughand tall enough tent. I'm also done with sleeping on the hard ground so a queensize air mattress it is. It's a bit tight up there but it works out well.With careful planning and creative packing, my son and I can live out of thePiet for a week.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Toolstock officially underway.
