I have been running into an annoying problem with my Piet. In still air it fliesbeautifully, hands off. but later in the morning when the turbulence starts,I seem to be all over the place, being tossed around like a cork. I couldn'teven imagine flying some major cross country in anything but sunset or sunrise. Could this be from my lack of dihedral, or is it just because it's a light plane.(and mine seems to be one of the lightest.) Maybe the heavier planes arebetter in the wind.I would consider putting in the normal dihedral, but I don't want to go thru thelabor and time down, only to find out that it really makes no difference. WhenI was flying the Cub and Aeronca, I didn't seem to feel this. But then againI didn't have enough hours in either to maybe realize it.Did anyone out there happen to fly both? And if so, was there a big difference?thanks,walt evans________________________________________________________________________________
