Pietenpol-List: UK Visit

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: AMsafetyC(at)aol.com
Hi Guys,I have just arrived back from a two week family visit to the UK. Whilst Iwas there I had the pleasure of meeting Alan James and G-BUCO. G-BUCO is hangared on a grass strip field in the middle of the countrysideand is Pietenpol Heaven (for those not able to get to Brodhead!).This was the first time I had ever seen a completed Pietenpol other than myown. It felt very strange looking it over and recognizing every bit of it.Alan took me for a fly and showed me some of the things that a Piet can dothat I still have to look forward to. It was a bit of a bumpy day but Alanwas well in control and managed a superb sideslip landing across the fieldto end the flight.A beautiful day indeed.Thanks Alan.PeterWonthaggi Australiahttp://www.cpc-world.com8:02 AM________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: List too quietWow Jim I am impressed! Seems like my according to season schedule of summer steel has gone into the tank and replaced by all those summer hours chores. Soon as cooler weather sets in I a back on the build. The good news is that Igot my metal ordered in the process of laser cutting and some of the metal for the spars and skin is on its way so I'll be back on the build soon too.Just glad to see youre back at it, I want ot see serious progress, my next trip to Oklahoma!Jim keep up the good work, you never know when someone is gonna bad mouth ya behind your back!John________________________________________________________________________________
