We had our first grandchild (boy) just a tad over a year ago, and the first thing I told his mama was that I would give him his first airplane ride and would teach him to fly taildraggers as soon as he can reach the rudder pedals (no need to be able to see over the nose). After she went white and gave me that "over my dead body" look, I tossed my silk scarf over my shoulder and just kept on going. Yessirree, that boy will make a fine pilot; I'll see to that.But in the meantime, I am now the proud owner of a set of plans for a "Pedal Piet", which will be his first set of wings for sure! You need to get one for your grandchild; go to http://showcase.netins.net/web/pedalplane/piet.htm and get busy building!P.S.- This is one of those projects that even "The Fisherman"'s materials will be OK on, and D.J. can chrome to his heart's content ;o)Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netJoin the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com________________________________________________________________________________

Yeah, Oscar. I always said I wouldn't bore all my friends (and newsgroupbuds) with all that "Let me tell about my grandchildren" stuff. .....But I can't help it! Here Goes!He finally reported for duty on Thursday at a lean, mean 7 lbs and 11ounces. Got here with all the appropriate appendages and healthy as ahorse. Mother is fine , too. Boy, the minute think you have this old worldfigured out, you get humbled again.Thanks for asking....Bert (aka Granpa) ConolyTallahasseeps. that pedal piet sounds like a neat project - I'll check it out.----- Original Message -----
