Subject: Pietenpol-List: Jess having fun and Ryan's first ride on Sunday morningwith Jack Phillips The great part about Gene P.'s Piet being flown at Bhead by Jack Phillips was thefact that on Sunday morning Jack tookoff with a stout Ryan Mueller (much likeme) in the front seat to the Eastinto a nice 10 mph breeze and that airplane did a great job of getting out of there,bar none. I'm impressed as could be. Several good buddies includingGlenn Thomas, Rob Busch, and John Hofmannwatched as Gene's Cloudcar prop and that newer 50 SMOH engine and combo was incrediblegetting out of there. They did a fine job and I hope Ryan will giveus his impressions of what he felt the plane handled like from the front seatafter they got flying over to Poplar Grove, IL (Home of Dan Helsper's AMAZINGFord Piet for fuel. Gene P. should be given a very big pat on the backfor just building by the plans to have a VERY NICE performing Piet as the plansshow------stellar perofrmance without reinvening the wheel. My hat is offto Gene P. from TN. Congrats to Ryan and Jess in Chicago for being thenew caretakers of her.
