Manny,All airplanes are and flying is dangerous, everything that goes up mustcome down, controlled or uncontrolled.The uncontrolled is the dangerous part.Although according to NTSB most accidents are caused by the pilot. (theyalways seem to be unable to keep clearance from terrain)If properly build, the Pietenpol Air Camper is no more dangerous than aChamp or CubIt is just another Taildragger and not that difficult to fly.Hans "Brown Gravy" To Sent by: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com owner-pietenpol-l cc ist-server@matron ics.com Subject Pietenpol-List: Re: Corvair Flyers 05/05/2006 10:28 AM Please respond to pietenpol-list@ma tronics.com Dangerous?

Noise? What Noise? I had the engine shut off. But I have many times thermalled with eagles with the engine on. I am usingan intake silencer, dual muffler, and a three bladed AERO prop with flaredtips to cut down noise.Thermalling with two people I set the throttle to a flat cruise, hit athermal and turn to stay in it. Once I have 5,000 feet and I am flying awayfrom a ridge or over the face of a peak, I shut down and glide back to PABV.What is a Pietenpol like as far as gliding is concerned, throttled back, notengine out?RobThey that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safetydeserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin-----Original Message-----
