Oshkosh is July 27 - Aug 2, which would make Brodhead on Fri. Sat. Sun. July 23 to July 25. Could someone else verifythis date for Brodhead ? Speaking of Brodhead, I'd like to do an info sheet and leave it on the pilot seat of each plane. Something to list a lot of the details of each plane. Not only the normal stuff like owner / e-mail, builder, weight, CG location, short / long fuse, prop / engine. I'd like to get stuff like 'Inches wing tilted back, cabane strut length, covering / paint process, adhesives used, fuel capacity / range, fuel tank material, alterations like fuselage width or wingspan or engine mount length, type of wood in various locations, type and thickness steel in various locations, the date when the first airplane noises weremade...you get the idea. If I could put it all on one format and a single sheet paper size, and then just leave it on the seat of each plane, it seems lots of questions couldbe answered, at times when the owner isn't around, and even more important - spark more questions !! I think we should do a weight and ballance report this year. We need scales for that. The flyer should know exactly how much fuel is onbd., so we could just remove that moment, as opposed to draining all fuel, and be able tocompare CG's. I'd also like to see if any flyers would be interested in some type of formation flight, with photo plane and what kind of preperation would be needed. This might be possible if the EAA photo plane could meet us at the 50 mile out marker, on the way to Oshkosh. I also need the name and number and e-mailof every piet builder / flyer that anybody knows. I'd like to contact each and every one, preferebly by e-mail. Waddya think ? I need input on this...Chuck Gantzer________________________________________________________________________________

As my ship is scheduled to make its first flight in mid or late summer andby the time Broadhead gets here it really will be a little late to help.I think your information sheet is a Very good idea and would help out a lot of builders.If you and or anyone else wants to fill this info sheet out and forward it to me ASAP it would be greatly appreciated.Max DavisArlington, TX.75 HP Piet under construction________________________________________________________________________________
