I don't have my latest edition of the BPA Newsletter (the one put out by Doc andDee Mosher) but there is a revised detail of the spring struts in it. I thinkone or two of the tube sizes changed to allow them to slide inside one anotheror something. 41CC flies with this type of spring strut and it works great.Speaking of the Newsletter, if you don't already subscribe, you should do so. It is a nice complement to the Matronics e-list in that Doc includes some goodcorrespondence and news from Piet owners and builders who are not on the Matronicslist or who don't do computers and webpages. Also good info on Piet-relatedevents, classified ads, tips and tricks, and some down-home stuff from buildersand pilots.--------Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXAir Camper NX41CCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Airspeed Lies

Kevin; I guess I need to check the ASI on 41CC especially since my friend Mark Langford did it the "water manometer with plastic tubing and a ruler" way and showed how simple it is to calibrate your ASI. Details are on his website at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/airspe ... on/However, 41CC seems to perform pretty much as others have described in cruise,flare, landing, dive, and everything else and I'd be happy knowing my instrumentis within 10% of actual.And I hear what you're saying about headwinds. When my friend Charlie ferried41CC from Shreveport to south Texas, he was flying into our typical southeastprevailing breeze here and he sure got tired of sitting in that seat watchingvehicle traffic passing on Interstate 35 down below.--------Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXAir Camper NX41CCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:43:44 -0800 (PST)
