Has anyone had any dealings with Design 52 Studio? A friend building a Flybabysent me the link below, he got a lot of his 4130 fittings from this guy and fromwhat I saw on the weekend, they look great. I was thinking of getting the 3piece wing rib set from him (haven't got a price back as yet).I know, I know,....I should be building them myself but if it gets me in the airany sooner, I'm all for it.Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: this is what it's all aboutWalt,That's a great picture of the final approach. Do you do most of your landings on hard surface ? I have found that if I land on the hard surface, toavoid a bounce, I do a wheel landing. On the grass, the full stall (3 point landing) is preferred, and has a lot shorter roll out. When I try to full stall'er on the hard surface, I always get a bounce landing. I much prefer landing on the grass. BTW, I flew yesterday and full throttle level flight I was indicating almost 80 mph, with the adjusted tach reading 2250 rpm. GPS was showing 92 mph. Return trip the GPS was showing a little over 70.Chuck G.I had to squirm around the cockpit to manage the video camera, so I rigged a little string & arm on the video camera, for remote On / Off. It works !! ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Navigational Assistance RequiredHello Chaps,Two of my mates and I from our local PFA Strut (UK version of EAA Chapter Ithink) are coming over to Oshkosh, arriving Chicago O'Hare at 1500 on 22July 05. The plan is simply to hire a car and drive to Oshkosh.Naturally I am trying to persuade them that Brodhead would be an excellentplace to visit, as I believe the Pietenpol thing is happening on the weekendof 23/24 July 05, but how feasible would it be? I'm told it is about a 5hour drive from OHR to Oshkosh, but would Brodhead be a big diversion fromtrack?

Mike:I went to Brodhead last year for the first time and I honestly can say I hadmore fun at Brodhead than I did at Oshcash. The "side-trip" to Brodhead (forme) was well worth the round-trip-drive from Texas. The people who attendand operate Brodhead are a great bunch of folks and the scenery isincredible. For my taste, the event at Oshcash is getting a bit too"corporate" for me and Brodhead is like stepping back into time when peoplewere more easy going, friendly and happy that you made the journey out theirway. As a visitor to Oscash since the 1980s, lately it seems like it's beingoperated by the Hitler Nazi Youth Corp with Homeland Security acting as theSS. Brodhead is laid back and a totally different experience. I was happy toleave my hard-earned dollars in Brodhead and Monroe to a bunch of swellpeople.I'd recommend spending the night in nearby Monroe while you are at Brodhead,which is a short drive West (and a little south) of Brodhead. I spent acouple of nights there last year in a very clean motel there. I tired tofind the name of the motel on the Monroe Chamber of Commerce website, butthey don't mention anything about motels. I suspect it's because they haveonly 3 or so places to stay. If I can recall the name of the motel, I''lpost it, but it was operated by a family who lives at the site and they keeptheir rooms spotless clean. Also, there are several really good places inMonroe to eat. Everything from Pizza to German food. The room rate might bea little less expensive in Monroe for one night than trying to find a placenear Oshcash. The merchants in and near Oscash go nuts in the summer andinflate the price of eveything. Down here on the Texas coast, after ahurricane, we put people in jail for price-gouging... but the EAA event atOshcash isn't an emergency... and the price-hikes are expected and toleratedby many. Rooms near Oshcash are still cheaper than trying to find a placein London (going back there soon for my 25th wedding anniversary!)Cellular phone service is sparse in Brodhead, but they have a pay phone nearthe picnic tables. Camping at Brodhead is fun and you can find lot's of coolgreen spots to toss a bag. Look up my buddy Chuck Gantzer if you decide totake a tent to Brodhead. Chuck is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comesthe aircamper and things mechanical, and please feed him a Guiness Stoutwhile you are picking his brain.If and when I get my Aircamper flying in a year or two, my flight-adventurewill take to Brodhead as many times as my piggy bank and wife will allow,but I doubt if I'll ever be visiting Oshcash again.Going to Hondo, Texas fly-in (www.swri.org) this week looking for Pietparts...(British) Sterling BrooksKnot-2-Shabby Airport & Texas Longhorn Cattle Ranch5TA6, San Antonio Sectional----- Original Message -----
