Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 5.00 cleveland wheelsJ.J.If you want an opinion I'll give you a little one for what it might be worth.I owned and flew a C-150D for many years and about 700 hrs, enough to get acquainted with the bird. Landed in rice fields, Interstate -49, concrete runways, asphalt runways and an assortment of sods you wouldn't believe. Even hada bull chase me around the pasture after a forced, oil line disconnected under instrument panel. He must have thought I was something from the other world looking for his heifers. Had a few other experiences that I'd rather not exposefor those FAA people to know about. Point is:It had 5:00 wheels and brakes and it was a much heavier machine than our Piets. Just an opinion and you'll probably gain 3 or 4 mph over the 6:00Corky in La watching everyone else fly________________________________________________________________________________
