I don't know what it is about the Pietenpol, but women do seem to like them. I get the same comment from just about every lady that has seen 41CC: it's cute and they want a ride in it. Must be the romance of flying in an open cockpit with hair and scarf waving in the wind.Most of the men who look at the airplane seem to be, how shall I say this, "gravitationally challenged" as well as "showing the experience of many years"... not old and fat ;o) I do wish more youngsters realized the beauty of these older designs and could just unhook themselves from the electronics and glass panels for a minute or two. One look in the cockpit and most of the kid types seem to wander on to something more exciting. And almost without exception, every non-pilot that looks at the Pietenpol asks where the radio is. When told that it has no radio and not even an electrical system, they go white with horror that I could fly it without "permission from the tower" or without being "in radar contact with somebody".My A&P should be back in the saddle by Wednesday after New Year's, so it shouldn't be long now before we'll be able to taxi test and flight test after he pulls the annual on it.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Get FREE Web site and company branded e-mail from Microsoft Office Live ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: babe magnet?Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 13:15:46 -0600
