Well after ten years of work and a lifetime of daydreams, I flew "Re-PIET"today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Flew from the asphalt runway near my house to a grass paradise an hour awaywhere she'll stay until I'm ready for pavement.The flight could NOT have been better in any possible way.- Engine tempswere good, (C-90 with Cloud Car prop) and she climbed very strongly (66degree day with 12 gallons and 160 lb Douwe), about like the 85 horse CubI've been practicing in with two people aboard, but I didn't have a VSI soI'm not sure.GPS said cruise was 75, but there was a bit of a tailwind, so it wasprobably more like 70.Flew totally hands off, seriously!- The almost 1" stab offset is perfect,didn't need to touch the rudder to keep her straight and the servo elevatortrim worked beautifully, just push the switch to get whatever trim you want.Was very pleased with that.Practiced some stalls at about 1,000rpm like landing and almost couldn't gether to break, she just mushed along.- Power off was straight ahead andclean.Smoke system worked great, though I'll have to add some longer "downtubes"off my long exhaust to keep unburnt oil off the tail.Controls were super light and pleasant in all regards.- Much nicer than thecub I've been flying.Landing was a non-event, except that the sun was directly in my eyes as itwas evening and the refraction through the two plexi windscreens precludedANY forward vis, plus the runway slants east so it was in the dark and Icould NOT see the runway.- Had to go around once, then really had to feel myway down, but it ended very nicely and she just settled down and trackedvery straight.I didn't think I'd need goggles.- I was wrong, I need them unless I sitright up behind the windscreen.Thanks all for your help, advice and encouragement through the years.- Toomany to name, but I am hugely indebted to you all.Just a lovely, lovely airplane in all regards...Keep building gents, IT'S WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Mike:It was suggested to me that the lower engine mount clusters be gusseted as well as the top ones, so when I made repairs to the airplane I had those gussets added to the mount. You can see them in several pictures here: http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/engine/A75.html, but probably the last two pics on that page show them the closest-up.
