After about 35 MINUTES? Now how do you equate that to crossing the Atlantic, atnight-? Here in Texas it takes that long just to unfold our state map! ;o)Just kidding with you, Dan. What a handsome airplane you've built, and it's greatto hear all the excitement. Well worth celebrating.I'm sure your daughter is mighty proud of you, too.

Dale McClesky's wood version GN-1 had a door and he gave me a ride at Brodhead.This is the first time I have been in the front cockpit even though I have a70% complete GN-1. I will definitely make the conversion before I cover thefuselage. I am 67, fairly limber, but I would have had a difficult time gettinginto the front without the door. Dale said his GN-1 plans showed the door, mine do not for the wood version butdo on the steel tube fuselage. One can pretty well interpret what to do fromthere as the tubing layout almost exactly follows the wood version except forthe door. I think there have been plan modifications for the Piet as well whichone can find on the internet.If one wants to hop passengers I think the door is a real advantage.Jon Coxwell--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Flight report- First Flight into Brodhead NX929DH...alog
