Mike,Welcome to the group!Having lived 38 years in So Cal, I hear your plight re an airport. Don'tknow if you're much of a driver, but there are two affordable airports incentral Ca, about 3.5 hrs north. Ck out Santa Maria prices and littleOceano airport. I know it's far, but if your schedule allows weekends orsomething it might be an option.Another thought would be with your weather, it would probably be realisticto bring it to the airport and tie it down for a couple of weeks or monthsof flying, fabricate some extensive wing and fuse UV and dust covers andthen bring it home again. (brainstorming here)If I was to build over again, I'd use the steel fuse mainly because it savesan appreciable amount of weight, plus being a welder, it would go togetherin a snap.good luck!D________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 03 May 2009 14:06:06 -0700

Darrel,I would love to have a set of the plans. Your offer is more than generous. How do I get the money to you? Cash, check? The recent article in the Sport Aviation is really great.

Darrel,I also would love to get a set of the plans for the Pfeifer Sport. I rememberreading that article by Bill Turner years ago. It always made me laugh. It'sfunny how some homebuilts became famous, while others sank into obscurity. ThePfeifer Sport was apparently the latter which is too bad since it was suchan interesting historical type aircraft with a direct link to the Pietenpol. Is yours the only flying example or are there other ones out there? Thank youfor your generous offer.Here's my address: Paul N.

Darrel,I have looked at Sonoma Skypark as a possible destination, sounds like a lot of fun. Just flew to Lakeport, Ukiah and Little River Monday, great flight. I will get the info on 0Q9 right away. As soon as the weather is better, I will be there. $4.00 hamburgers sound great! Will send the $ as soon as your package arrives.Ray Krause----- Original Message -----

Subject: Pietenpol-List: aileron effectivenessSteve, Would you consider making your ailerons one wing rib longer ? I don't see whyyou couldn'tmodify your wing and either build on-to or build a new, longer aileron. Theremay be someadverse yaw issues with a longer aileron though that I'm not considering. I agree with Jack that the Piet ailerons are adequate in gusty crosswinds thoughyou do have tobe ready for any upset close to flare (and for that very fun bucking bronco ridedown final) and hope for the best regarding timing in the lulls and peaks. Prayer helps. Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: steel fuse and So Cal airports
