It has been mentioned that there are plans for a 172 3/8" fuselage and being 6'1"tall these are the plans I would like to purchase as I would benefit from theextra leg room.The only thing is I have not read where this plan can be purchasedfrom.As I understand it there are 3 lengths to choose from and Don Pietenpolhas the original or short for the Ford "A" engine and one that is 6" longerfor the A65 and corvair engine.If there is indeed a longest fuselage,wheredo I order this from? Thanks in advance.This is a great site,I have been working my way through the archives and enjoyingit immensely.Regadrs,Mike Turrell________________________________________________________________________________

Larry,They usually close the NW/SE runway and the NE/SW runway leaving the E/Wrunway at the airports north side open. I have never seen the airportclosed for any reason during the flyin. The closed runways should be X'doff with a yellow X at each end. I believe the E/W is the longest. Twoyears ago, it was incredible windy and hot and it got to the point where theE/W runway was unuseable for almost all aircraft which created problems forarrivals. As a result, they opened the NE/SW runway. It was so windy, itonly took a few hundred feet to roll out so it did not impinge too much onnormal operations.Cheers,ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren----- Original Message -----
