I just received and set of digital sectional charts (tif format with world file imbedded) and am willing to upload the ones that you are interested in to mykitplane.com. Let me know which ones (please don't say all - I don't want to take the time to do them all and I don't want to overextend my welcome on the mykitplane server). These are current charts. If you don't care about that you can find all of them at http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA ... current/My files will be at http://mykitplane.com/Planes/filesList2.cfm?

Ben,I use a simple handheld Garmin eTtrex Vista cost less than $ 300.--Has Compass, Altimeter and all the basic GPS stuff.Plots your track both vertical and on map.I have it on during my test flights, afterwards I can review the flight andwrite down the climb rates and descent rates.If it had engine recording and voice recorder it would be a true black box.The eTrex is not for aviation use, but has everything I need.Hans Ben Ramler To Sent by: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com owner-pietenpol-l cc ist-server@matron ics.com Subject Pietenpol-List: Nav questions 01/26/2006 10:59 AM Please respond to pietenpol-list@ma tronics.com Hello,Seeing how that the Pietenpo Aircamper is really for VFR flights I waswondering if anybody uses a GPS?

Greetings All,It's been a while since I have posted, although I still love reading the postsall of youput in here. Last year, because of my health, I decided to try to sell my pietproject.I put it on Ebay and got a buyer but he backed out after the auction was over.This left me mixed feelings, great I still have it and POed because he blew othersoff thatwere bidding also. Anyway, I have decided again that as much as I want to finishit andfly it, I'm not physically capable anymore of doing that. So, I have decided toask in herefirst if anyone is looking for a project that needs work,( been in the hanger fortwo years now)and looking rough, but it has a good corvair on it with prop, all instruments,horrible paint job,but has great potential to give someone a great finishing project and years offun flying.I will have to dig out some pics of it, but some old pics of when I was buildingit can be foundhere, http://members.core.com/~skycarl/pietpage1.htmlI am asking 3500$ for it. The buyer will have to go and pull the wings and trailerit home.I would rather see it bought here than on ebay so I will wait a while before goingthat route.It is currently hangered at Betz airfield, Blissfield Michigan... about 30milesnw of Toledo, OH.Take care allCarl Loar________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: I'm in!!
