Sorry to hear about it Gary. Those are tough pictures to look at. ...."there'sthose that have and those that will..." I'm in the "have" group. I've learnedthat you haven't fully felt the airplane out until you've felt it go "out".Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Cream puff ?

Way to go, Jeff! There's absolutely no better feeling than the first flightin a plane you built yourself. Welcome to a very elite group. Pilotsrepresent about 1/2 of 1% of the US population. People who start buildingtheir own airplanes are probably less than 10% of the pilot population, andof those who start to build, less than 25% ever finish their projects, soyou are now a member of a very exclusive group.Now hurry and fly the 40 hours off so you can bring it to Brodhead thisyear.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Chuck,It is actually a Ragwing Special. My cell phone was auto-correcting the spellingfor me which was wrong when it corrected it. It is an ultralight that lookslike a Pitts special. It has a very large cockpit. The one I flew had a Kawasaki440 snowmobile engine in it. It broke a crank and was later replacedwith a Hirth engine which is still in the plane. Fun little airplane to fly andbuilt from wood. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt ... -----Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Cream puff ?
