PS Who says that the pilot was not "showing off" and> you think that it was the plane's fault? almost any> design of two seater airplane (or ultralight> "trainer" ) had suffer of this type of accidents.Hey GaryI agree that it's a fascinating aircraft. Beautiful in a unique way. And itis quite possible there were other factors involved in the accident Imentioned.Another factor in my decision was ground handling. The c of g is of coursemuch farther aft in a flea. Some pilots claim this makes it more difficultto taxi and land. I have very little tail wheel experience at this point, soextra complications did not appeal to me.Ken----- Original Message -----

I was thinking of writing a letter in support of the sport pilot catagory.One angle would be to talk about violations for flying without a medical.Does anyone know how many violations there are each year? I would suspectthere has been a major spike with the baby boomers coming along.Also, does anyone know what the FAA is doing to pilots caught flying withouta medical? Or what the maximum penalty is?I am fine. Just looking for an angle.Thanks, Ted________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Sport PilotPieters, especially the ole ones,Just talked to my insurance man. Told him I have had a policy for my Test Pilot and liability for a year and wanted to ask if they would cancel my policywhen I become eligible to fly under the new Sport Pilot Category. He says: The catagory will be announced at Oshkosh but still has a lot of refining to do and would not become effective any earlier than December or maybelater. However; he said they WILL insure me if the Pietenpol meets all the specs as a sport plane AND if I have no restrictions on my drivers lic. I'm feeling a little better after having talked to him.This information is aimed at those with deep concern and you healthful birds can just ignore this little piece of information.

I've made my home in Huntsville, AL for the last 40 years....but asyou may know, one doesn't get that Bayou LaFouche water out of your veins. I have acquired two Piet projects during the past year. I got the first one in July, 2002, then about four months later, I ran into a real peach that met my set of requirements closer than the first one so I bought it too. I call the first one "Piet" and the second one "RePiet". I'm covering RePiet now (Stitts).It's A-powered, 19" wheels.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 20:13:38 -0500
