Hello all,Well, of course what follows is all hypothetical.IF the man who was my surrogate dad and mentor; the man who taught me artand helped me fall in love with model airplanes and antique airplanes died.And IF we had agreed that I'd scatter his ashes from the Pietenpol, and IF Ihad kept his ashes for three years while I finished the plane, and and IFthe Pietenpol was finally flying.Any ideas as to how one would scatter ashes from an open cockpit planewithout getting them in your face or all over the airplane?Of course, because of numerous legal and environmental issues I would neveractually do this,, but IF I hypothetically wanted to. How would I do it?Open to ideas.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

I know you just can't throw them out the door of a 172...... , the ashes all end up back in the cabin! Then what? You have a permanent passenger. It does work to place the ashes in a long tube of fabric, let it flop outside the door about 6 feet, then pull the rip cord to untie the far end.It also works to place the ashes in the hopper of a crop duster!We have the Sutter Buttes just 5 miles from the airport and receive lots of requests. I think the ashes should always be released in an highly fragile container, heavy enough to drop and miss the tail!

Douwe,Looks like you have some good recommendations. I have a similar hypothetical commitment concerning my father, and would be interested in hearing what you would do, hypothetically, of course. I had envisioned just reaching as far over the side as possible, allowing the urn to open and the ashes to stream behindmaybe loosely tie the lid to the base so that it did not fall indiscriminately on the head of some poor chipmunk sitting comfortably in a pine tree in western Montana.You may have already received better ideas than I did from my airport =9Cbuddies=9D, some 40+ years ago, concerning my friend=99s grandmother. =98They=99 said that the deed is legal if one is beyond 5 miles from the coastline, and also suggested slowing to near stall speed.I did not like flying over the Pacific ocean in my T-craft, so may have cut that 5 miles in halfor lessI did not like slowing to near stall speed out over the waterI did not like that my passenger fumbled the shoe box, trying to work it out of the small sliding windows, allowing the lid to come off prematurely, upon which a large part of grandma ended up in the cabinI especially did not like that I inhaled enough of grandma to make me gag and coughOverall, it was an unpleasant experience, speaking for myself, but I don=99t think my passenger/friend enjoyed it either, as he immediately got sick. Fortunately, I carried an empty milk carton in the baggage compartment, for just such an occasion, and he promptly emptied from his stomach what was left of breakfastmostly eggs and bacon, as I recall. That was followed by a lively discussion about what to do with the partially filled container, and its putrid contents. I was loath to try the window idea again, and he was too afraid to even try to open the door. First =93 Slow to near stall speed.Most importantly, you have my most sincere sympathies, as I am sure you think of your mentor often.Gary BootheNX308MB

One also could use a bag with a rip cord that would open when the bag reached the end of the cord tied to the plane then pulled in for landing. What ever is the easiest and cleanest.

A small hole in the front for "ram air" and a cloth tied overthe rear. When the cloth is removed, the ashes are expelled and "whalla!!"Think I'll hit the big orange box store today.

He kept on going, and continuedon over to the Atlantic coast of Florida. It looked like he was still in theair long after I would have tied 'er down and rubbed my sore backside, and maybewished for position lights and an anticollision strobe as it must have gottendark by the time he got across Florida.The good progress indicates that the airplane is working fine, weather is good,and the pilot is enjoying the ferry flight.

I have done this in my piet for a my dads best friend. It was rather easy to do.We released them from the front cockpit out of a plastic bag. I put the planein a skid with right rudder and the ashes were poured overboard out the rightside of the plane by the front passenger (don't release them out the leftside while in a right skid. Just saying) . No ashes hit me while doing this.There was however some ash dust below the tail on the fuselage. No big deal.In fact, I left them there for the whole summer so my dads friend could do somemore aviating with me. After the task was completed, I found it to be a wonderful feeling knowing thatI had followed through with someone's very last wishes.Highly recommended at least once.

I believe Petaluma Municipal would be O69 (that's OH-six-niner, not ZERO six-niner).Now you know why the FAA doesn't let us use 'OH' (phonetic OSCAR) in ouraircraft N numbers... it gets confused with zero.And if you don't already use AirNav for online info on airports, give it a try. It's www.airnav.com and it has a lot of good info. Over on the right side of the page when you call up an airport data page, you can do a quickie check of distance to fly to any airport from any other airport. I use it a lot for a what-if check.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: West coast Pieter's

By the way, AirNav tells me that "Oscar Six-Niner" (Petaluma) is 247.3NM southof me, almost directly due south at 177 degrees true, and has Jet-A fuel. Wowza!That's 4 hrs 45 minutes away (no wind), with Scout at normal cruise. Onefuel stop on the way for me, probably Redding (RDD). If I left Medford at 7AM,I might just be at Petaluma in time for lunch if I don't mess around at thefuel pump in Redding for too long.I wish.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Rick; this subject was just discussed in response to an observation that I madeabout Gary Boothe's breather setup. However, his uses the valve cover and itsounds like you're determined to avoid that. Yes, the Big Piet guys posted somecomments about what NOT to do when attempting to breathe the crankcase viathe top cover, but all indications are that the best way is going to be via thevalve cover.I guess you could always figure out a way to make the setup more visually appealingif you can't avoid having to run vent tubes to and from the valve cover.Maybe some polished brass tubing brazed onto the valve cover instead of rubberhose with hose clamps-? I guess you can braze onto the stamped steel valvecovers, but not the cast aluminum ones.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ashes...

Steve: you wouldn't happen to *know* one of those guys from the Texas Panhandle,or maybe even *be* one of those guys, would you? ;o)Douwe, I really appreciate your desire to do this properly, and with dignity. My dad wanted us to scatter his ashes in the Gulf of Mexico, where we spent many,many wonderful hours and days fishing offshore. It was so relaxing to beout of sight of land on the blue water, lines out behind the boat, and nothingon the horizon. So we chartered a big "party boat" (fishing boat that takesa bunch of folks out fishing), since we are a large family and Dad wanted allof us to be able to go and enjoy the outing at the same time that we said ourgood-byes to him. When the moment came to scatter his ashes, we had the sameembarrassing experience of having ashes and dust come wafting back over the railof the boat and into the family members. All the best intentions were spoiledby the foibles of wind on the open water.The deed got done and we ended up spending the twilight hours back in Port Aransasin the very setting that Dad would have wanted us to, but it was not a pleasantmoment when the ashes were actually released. Give it some thought, makea dry run or two with some innocuous fireplace sweepings, and then the emotionsof the moment won't be diverted when things don't go as planned. If you actuallyhad such a mentor and wanted to remember him in this way, you would dowell to remember him the way others have suggested here, with well thought outrelease mechanisms that honor the departed and properly scatter his final remains.We stand on the shoulders of men like him in order to reach the sky ourselves,as you have so beautifully demonstrated.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
