Hello good people. Since I started my build I was curious to see how my wideningwas going to work out. I got the chance to find out today. I finally decided to try her on for size and let me tell you the first time sittingin my Piet fuse was great. I spent about an hour sittin in the back pit. I sure wished I smoked it felt thatgood. Not ready to make airplane noises yet but I did some real good basementflyingShe measures 27" on the inside, plenty or room for me and a jacket, legs etc.....Fits greatJohnJohnSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: A first for me

The 27" wide is really great as a wide glide goes. I highly recommend it. Hardto believe and no mock up just the naked grease adventure at Makles did the trick.And told me something about the company I keep. I mean that in the nicest possible way. Just got home and looking forward to Catoosa week of the 26th all remains on scheduleon this endJohnJohn John------Original Message------
