I went to take a peek at "Mr. Sam" Piet (nice job on the cowling, sir). Caption said it was 0-200 powered. So what does the engine close-up show? A water-cooled 0-200 with all 4 exhaust stacks out one side ;o)I note that the tailwheel on "Mr. Sam" looks to be the original Piet spring-type skid but with a tailwheel adapted to it. Is that correct? If so, is it the typical "shopping cart" type of resilient wheel?Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Wonder how warm the air coming off that short stack, in the front of the engine, puts out ?Is it enough? Only the CARB knows !-dennis________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: photo share- Mr. SamI've never heard Mike Cuy mention speed with his A-65. Really, this is a subject that Piet people should never discuss as nothing much could change that drag.Thanks for your answerCorky in La where they sent those carpetbaggers________________________________________________________________________________
