Not sure why, but it looks like my message got truncated so here it is again. Sorry if it's a repeat:I look for my Piet list digest in the email pretty much first thing every day=2C and have been disappointed to see zero messages in the digest a couple of times lately. I think it's pretty common for this to happen in the winter months=2C what with the holidays and it being too cold to build or fly.I know I comment and post too much=2C so I try not to reply to posts unless I can offer something constructive=2C encouraging=2C or maybe humorous. I also ask questions about things I see on other people's airplanes because I like to learn and as William Wynne says=2C "I reserve the right to get smarter" when it comes to a new and better way to do something. There is never any shortage of things like this coming from the list=2C you just have to wait patiently for it. Actually=2C it's good training for being a good Piet pilot. Patience=2C that is.I may have been part of the 'friction' from last year and after getting punched in the gut by one person and had my engineering pshaw'ed by another=2C I unsubscribed from the list but wasn't able to resist checking the forum at least once a day to keep track of who is doing what. My self-imposed absence lasted a couple of months but there is too much good here for me to stay away.Right now there are a couple of airplanes under construction that I am really anxious to see get completed and start flying. At the top of the list is Aerocar Jake's round-engine=2C steel-frame Piet up in Washington. I was thrilled to see Ken Bickers get his plane finished up in Colorado (how's the testing going=2C Ken?)- and there are others out there that are getting close. I'm really interested in seeing Kenny Crider's Jeep-powered Piet keep coming together. And although I may end up in a wheelchair before it happens=2C I'd sure like to see Steve Dortch finish up "FrankenPiet" and get it flying to close that loop. This is why I stick around=2C along with waiting for the old-timers to drop tasty crumbs of knowledge=2C links to "watch me make smoke!" and "a 10-minute flight around the patch" videos=2C all of it.Not slowly dying... just getting rested up for spring =3Bo)Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerMedford=2C OR--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: prop bolts
