Was just surfing the web for Pietenpol photos and came across an interesting idea.This Pietenpol has what looks like a torpedo, but is actually a cargo podmounted below the fuselage. The description says it is made of carbon fiber. Lookslike a great way to carry a tent or any other odd shaped items, for thosetrying to make the Air Camper live up to its name. Here's a link to the photo:

>It is not a cargo pod. In fact, I am quite sure it's a jettison fuel cell.>How else is he going to get to Texas to dogfight Oscar?No worries with the fast guys... they can only zoom by, helpless to get close enoughlong enough to take a shot. It's the slow ones that can hang on your tailthat you have to worry about.And I thought the nose of that pod swung away to reveal six insulated recessesabout the size of longneck bottles but I could be wrong.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
