Axel;It's looking like the weather is going to be clear andcrisp for the event this coming Saturday. I probably won'tbe there till noon Saturday and will stay for a few hours inthe afternoon. With daylight saving time ending, it willbe getting dark earlier so I'll probably fly home at about3PM or so. Just want to stay long enough to see theirSky Scout and see who else is there, plus of course enjoya nice x-c in my Scout.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2010 00:18:31 -0700

Holy smokes... the reporter stated that he spent 12 million shillings on that heap...that is just shy of $150k!! Could have had an RV-10. She also stated the weight at 800kg... that is a 1760 pound single seater! WOW!! Good luck fellas!--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Dreams

After watching/listening again, I heard the reporter state, "twin seater"... butstill, the "engine specialist" and "pilot" has his work cut out for him.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Dreams

One of the guys in the EAA chapter here said he heard that Van's was giving theguy an RV-12 complete kit. Might be the start of an urban myth....You gotta give the Kenyan credit for persistence, if not for intelligence, judgment,and engineering.There's a 3 masted schooner here in Maine that's the sea-going (well sort of) versionof his airplane. For those of you who are wooden boat aficionados, checkout the vessel "Raw Faith". Pay particular attention to the Wooden Boat magazinethread. I've seen her up close and the pictures don't do justice to reality.It's far worse. Her primary construction timbers came from Home Depotand things go downhill from there.I do believe that both entrepreneurs are twin sons of different mothers.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Dreams

One more correction... I thought she was saying "12-million shillings", but insteadshe was saying "half a million". That is only $7500... a far cry from anRV-12, or any other RV for that matter.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
