Well, it's my dream to fly 41CC to Brodhead (via Shreveport, LA) and if I don't have a goal or a dream to do so, it will never happen.So I'll say yes, I'm planning to fly to Brodhead in '07. Turns out that Paul Poberezny dissolved the SAA this past week, so there won't be another fly-in to Urbana, Illinois... the only other one that I'd have liked to have made. I don't think a NORDO, low/slow airplane like the Piet would be too welcome at OSH so that's out of the question. Plus, people might wonder about the integrity of an airplane that can be built for less than the cost of a new sedan and maintained by someone without a uniform and an FAA license of some sort. My wife still goes white as a sheet when I tell her that I should never need a radio to talk to anybody when I fly the Piet most places I want to take it. Most people assume that people flying airplanes have to be under Air Traffic Control or else!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

John,Cinda and I are hoping to make Brodhead 07, her in the motor home and me inthe GN-1. We live at Hales Landing (2WV3) about 12 miles south ofParkersburg WV, and about 50 miles south of your direct line west fromPittsburgh to skim the south side of Chicago class B. We would hope toleave here the Tuesday or Wednesday before Brodhead. Haven't planned thetrip yet, but looks like 2 days, or one real long day in a Piet.Skip> [Original Message]>> Who's planning on flying their Pietenpol to Brodhead next year.

"Is it a kit ?" "Waddya mean you Scratch Built it ???" And, "Where are you going / coming from ?" Then, of course, they have to take your picture...so you simply haveto plan for all this extra time spent at the stops.People will walk right past a $200,000 airplane to get a close up and personal look at your plane !!The Journey is the Reward !!Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________

John:We are about 100 miles west of St. Louis on the Missouri river at Jefferson City, the capital of MO.As to the engine I have found that a also have a mag problem. The mag is one of the old 4000 series that they just through way. There was never any repair parts made for them. But we have modified the housing to make it bigger for the new style condenser, and have just completed that so we should be able to install the mag with in a couple of weeks and start taxi tests.Chet----- Original Message -----
