Jim,I drove to Lee Bottom when I lived in Louisville. I don't remember how long the drive was, but it wasn't too bad, and the airport is certainly with the drive.If you're into R/C models, the club field at McNeely lake is really nice. When I was there in 2006, there were some really great guys in that club. We were all sitting around shooting the breeze one afternoon and a full-scale Pietenpol dropped in on us. He did an unintentional touch and go when he took his hand off the stick to wave hello, and left in a hurry! I have no idea who that was, though.Wayne Bressler Jr.Taildraggers, Inc.taildraggersinc.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 18:54:10 -0800 (PST)

I just finished watching the morning news and it looks like you east coasters are going to be getting another snow storm. Time to start packing up and heading for Lakeland, Fl. for Sun and Fun. I have been told that our Wood work Shop will be back in the indoors where it was 2 years ago. For all who are not familiar, that workshop is kind of the 2nd home of Pietenpol after Brodhead. If anybody needs anything built for a Pietenpol contact me directly we can do it. Projects on hand for this year are a prop for Gardiner Mason and if no other projects come around a fuselage for me and maybe a tail section also. These will be for my new Sky Scout.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:28:46 -0500 (GMT-05:00)

And we all know that red makes cars and planes fly faster. So that might accountfor the rpm difference between the two planes :)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
