Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing the waiex again. He did an awesome job. I'm sure his sky scout will look just as good.

Pietenpol-List: Re: satellite tracking devices
Original Posted By: "Gary Boothe"
Hello All - I'm a Newbie to the wonderful world of Pietenpols. I am in the process of purchasing N687MB out of Sarasota. We do the ferry flight on the tail end of Sun-n-Fun back to Culpeper Virginia. I'm no stranger to tail draggers - been flying them for years for fun and in for even more fun at the Flying Circus in Bealeton Virginia (www.flyingcircusairshow.com) I owned a Maule for about 10 years. Gotta tell you - I am excited about my new Piet. I've since learned that there are several Piets in the local area and that I am hoping to hook up with them for the July run to Brodhead.I've been doing a lot of research on the satellite tracking devices. Out of all them, I like the The Spot Generation 2 (http://www.findmespot.com/en/) the best. It is a little pricey ($99 for the HW; $99 for the annual Service Plan; $50 for real-time tracking). There is a very detailed review on Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/SPOT-Satellite-GP ... ewpoints=1) By S. Brooks "N22Tango" (Central, TEXAS). I spent an hour or so on the phone with Customer Support discussing the review and asking questions. The review was in 2010 and a lot has changed since then. What I walked away with is that the Spot Connect $149 (http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=116) which is a little black box about the size of a MiFi solves most of the complaints about the G2. As added bonus, you have more capabilities as you do everything using a SmartPhone. For me - this is a winning solution. I ordered one and will report back on how it works out. We'll be using it to track the ferry flight from Sarasota to Culpeper on April 15-16.--------Jim McWhorterN687M (New Owner)Culpeper, VA KCJRRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/spot ... __________
