Good morning Pieters.I've spent most of my life where cold weather and winter are a fact of life. I don't understand the concept "O my god, it's below 70 degrees out, I must put my Piet away until next summer and it's 70 again." I'm just wondering, how many of you are going to put some clothes on this winter and enjoy the very best flying there is? Winter time is truly a wonderland for pilots. I know that a lot of our brothers in Canada fly their open cockpit planes all winter long, enjoying the frozen lakes as new and wonderful landing spots. I would love to hear from both sides, year around flyers as well as summer only flyers.GeneN502R________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: off topic- but related- Wright replica crash in DaytonDate: Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:18:05 -0400

For the benefit of those who don't know Spanish,here is a rough translation of what he wrote:"Oscar, I hope that you keep flying and enjoying yourflights in your Piet. I am almost completing thetail secion and I'll be starting some of the metalparts for the horns and cable attachments. I wouldappreciate it very much if you could give me a betteridea of how to make a better version of the throttle.These are some pictures. Thanks again; Jorge fromHanford, and I hope that when my Piet is ready to flyI can visit with all of you. Thanks very much."Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: off topic- but related- Wright replica crash in Dayton

Bummer. The article states that the aircraft is situated, "face-down in the middle of thefield, its tail sticking up in the air." I think it is actually the opposite,right?--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
