You are right-it is a beautiful plane and workmanship is fantastic.I am sure gladI looked at it.And I hope to be able to do a nice job of finishing it.The windis gusting to 45 here today and it would'nt be a piet flying day even if itwas ready,but I'll sure be anxious to see how they fly.i expect the crosswindcapabilities are a little lower than my old Tri-pacer,but with the Cub gearunder it-hopefully there is enough aileron authority to handle some.I fly froma dirt North-south strip and it is interesting when the wind is out of the westblowing between the trees and a few houses that are just off the runway,butthere are real airports 15 miles east and west from me if it gets too bad.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: crosswinds and PietsDate: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:20:21 -0600

As long as the subject of tailwheels has come up, I attached a pic of my new Matco with a inflatable tire. It has a spoked wheel and I think it is lighter than the solid.I ordered direct from Matco, I dont think ACS has it yet.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 19:54:17 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: crosswinds and Piets
