Hey Andy,Just got the prop down from the wall I had made by Culver Props for an0-200. It is a 74/36. I think in my research of piets (or other draggyairframed planes) flying with 0-200s, 74 was the largest diameter I cameacross.Like I wrote before, there's only a couple of piets I could find flying with0200s here, and a few more in the UK, so it was a bit hard to come up withfirm evidence.If I remember correctly, during my talks with Gene at Culver, we went withthe 74 and he said he'd shorten it if it wouldn't turn up where we needed itto, but he thought this would work well. I'd say these numbers are prettyclose, he's a smart cookie when it comes to props. Builds a lot for WWIreproductions and quite a few piets over the decades.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: OT: RV for AirVenture

Each year we rent a RV - travel trailer - for AirVenture, and it's parked in theWarbirds campgrounds. This year, one of the guys isn't able to join us due to work, and we have one bunkavailable for the week. Tight space, but, we only sleep in the RV...We share expenses, which with campgrounds, RV, etc., come to about $400. For thefull length of the show.Most of us are Warbirds volunteers, and the list of perks includes: Admission,Breakfast, Lunch, Sunday nite BBQ, aka Beer bash, one to three dinners duringthe week, and the Warbirds Banquet on Saturday night.To get all of the above, we work 16 hours during the show...If you're interested in taking the open bunk, PM me.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
