Where'd everybody go?I got a Magellan 315 GPS and am now wondering if anyone else has one. I hear thatthere is a disc available that allows an aviation-related data-base to be installed.Any of you have that? Does anyone want to share thefeatures/functions they have found most applicable for navigating a Pietthrough the fruited plain?Larry________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks for all the info. and input from everyone. If anyone has anymore pleasekeep it coming. Scott thanks for the tail drawings that was just what I was lookingfor. Thanks to your buddy Mike also because he sent a PM with the drawingsalso. I am going to go ahead with the steel fuselage as I was planning to andwill keep you guys updated as this moves along. Will likely not get startedon it till after the first of the year. Working on wing ribs and need to getmaterials together for the fuselage. Will post photos went underway. Being inthe business doing this kind of work, once I gear up to do this I could also weldup some more if anyone has a interest in building a Pietenpol with a steelfuselage. The more I could build at once the cheaper I could get the price down.Also the more materials I would buy at once the cheaper I could get them.If there are guys out there that have a interest in having one built or also thetail feathers in steel let me know. I have a nice paint booth and could alsoinclude epoxy primer and or painted also.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: gpsI used an old $110 Magellan explorist to fly my Bonanza from Enid, OK to San Antonio,on monday. It worked fine. Slightly small screen for my old eyes, but gaveme bearing, heading, distance, GS and a moving map showing towns, water andmajor highways. Newer versions have better maps. Also rugged and waterproof.Blue Skies,Steve D----- Original Message -----
