Pietenpol-List: Re: trip comments
Original Posted By: Jeff Boatright
Took 40 minutes to get to Brodhead from my place, 2 hours to get to OSH (lots ofS-turning behind the 'Slow Group'), and an hour flat to get home (90 miles).Lots of kids had the chance to sit in the airplane at OSH (and by that, I meanthe builders as well as the youngin's). Hopped a few rides at Brodhead despite some windy conditions...anybody buildingthat wants to fly a Piet, just let me know next year. I should have #2 finishedby then and #3 should be covered.Next trip is Blakesburg then back to Brodhead for Grassroots.Thanks everybody for a great time! Feels SO good to get her in the air at last.RobRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/piet ... ______Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 04:08:58 -0400

Rob,It was really nice to meet you and to see your airplane. I hope to see youagain at Brodhead in the future. I don't know how many more times I'llbrave the trip over the mountains in mine (3 days instead of 40 minutes forme), but I'll be there even if I leave the Pietenpol in the hangar. I'lleventually bring it back again.Jack PhillipsNX899JPIcarus PlummetRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

That is the guy from the Paris Air Show, right? Yeah, Jody is right... kind of hard to look for an address when the mailbox dooris missing? You think that thing will fly with just one set of uprights on the spars? Lookinga little spooky.
