John asks about a step to help get into and out of the cockpit. There are some pictures of Ernie Moreno's Piet on my website, at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/piets.html and especially the photo at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/engine01.jpg that show the little step that Ernie's plane has. This one places all the load on the gear leg and not the fuselage structure. I think Corky's plane also has a step of some sort (was it a section of tube that pulls out, Corky?)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cockpit stepsIt's a section of tube but it doesn't pull. Just sticks out for a good step and some added drag. Corky in La calculating drag, floatation and fuel consumptation above 12K.________________________________________________________________________________
