Doc, Any GN-1s at Broadhead? I'm new to the list and Pietenpols in general, butI wonder why I never see much about the GN-1 which I understand is a "modern"version of the Piet.Howard Bissell________________________________________________________________________________

There was a GN-1 and it was camped at the back side of the airport. It was yellowand black. I talked with the owner, he was hangered at Cairo, Illinois (southerntip) and had flown up to Brodhead. He said he sometimes felt like some Pietpeople were prejudiced against GN-1's and he was leery of taking up passengersright now. He has been to Brodhead in the past and given rides though. Forgothis name, though, damn this old age stuff.Dennis ----- Original Message -----

Hello,I'm sure there are folks out there that have been to Brodhead many times more thanI. I don't recall seeing more than one GN-1 there each time I have been.Also I never saw it parked with the Piets but on the other side of the field.I believe I saw a remark somewhere (possibly on the Piet list) by some GN-1 ownersaying they didn't feel welcome. This is very unfortunate because IMHO mostPiet owners don't feel that way, it is those very vocal few that are the problem.Anyway a trip to Brodhead is well worth it, 99 percent of the people youwill meet there are super.Bob B. - MissouriBTW I don't even bother with that other Wisconsin Flyin anymore. ----- Original Message -----

I seem to remember this topic a while back, but does anyone have good suggestionsfor a light plastic tube that could be glued next to the fuselage side stringerunder the covering to run the mag wires up through?I think I'd like to use a conduit type arrangement rather than affixing the wiresin case I should ever have to fix or replace them without ripping off the covering.Thanx!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Not sure what's up with the "piets near Tulsa" subject but if someone's interested, there are several in the area, including at least one GN1 (pic attached and size reduced for quicker D/L). I included a pic of the tail number if someone wants to look up the owner on landings.comAlso, try contacting EAA Tulsa Chapter 10: http://www.eaa10.org/index.htmActually, there's a LONG history of Pietenpol support in the Tulsa (MY hometown) area. Those folks have known about the Pietenpol for a LONG time!Jim in Plano.....----- Original Message -----
