Marci and I had our first real Piet adventure together today. I took her onPiet date. She's taken lots of short hops, but this was her first actualtrip; 50 minutes each way.Had a nice weather day so we took the afternoon off and flew up to RedStewart Airfield in Waynesville, OH. It was cold and bumpy on the way upbut she was a good sport. The wonderful people at Red Stewart (40 I theletter "I") lent us their car so we could drive into town and have lunch.Had a superterrific lunch then strolled around town checking out the antiquestores. Marci found a great quilting shop and stocked up on some fabric.We dawdled because I was watching my home field's weather (asphalt.) andhoping the forecast was right and the crosswind would die away at sundown.Sure enough, it did. The flight home was a gorgeous sunset flight withRE-PIET feeling like she was on rails the whole way home. It wasn't anything huge, but it was our first adventure together and I'mreally happy my wife had a great time.Keep building, it's worth it!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Hi What do you men it wasn't anything huge! You and your wife were able to spend a memorable afternoon together. It even was centered around flying. What could be finer than that?! HUGE!

My windshield broke and I flew without it for some time. If wearing goggles, itreally wasn't a big deal. Originally, the back seat had a really nice big windshield, didn't like the lookof it the best, but it was REALLY comfortable behind it, not requiring gogglesfor most flying. The Piet equivalent of being behind the windscreen of a bigold Honda Goldwing or something!I put the original shaped one back on it. Looks a little better I think, needgoggles, but not as good a ones as with without.So, it's really a question of how do you want to fly. No eyewear, snug sunglassestype of thing, or full on RAF or ski style goggles.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet Date

William, I'm very disappointed in you. Instead of your usual highly technicalcommentary and eye for detail, you went for the decoys that Jeff threw out there.You didn't even notice the rigid aluminum fuel tubing that he's got runningdown those aluminum cabanes, past the stripped-down airframes in the cockpits.For shame.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
