Photos!This really points up the differences in how the airplanes can be built. As posted here some months ago, the Piet that I was looking at, Franklin-powered, weighs 803 lbs. empty. That's like carrying a 129 lb. passenger *all the time*.Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netSend and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 08:38:42 -0600
