Hi Pieter's,I went out to the airport last night to perform a weighing for a friends dragster.I happened to get there a little bit early and notice that the plane wasbegging to be flown since it has been ground bound for the last two weeks or so.I caved and took the poor thing out for some pattern work. I had a greattime. We had a slight breeze, 26 gusting to 30 knots about 20 degrees off therunway heading. It was fun, I could climb and descend nearly vertical and onlyneeded about 20 to 30 feet for the take off run. All my landing were wheellandings because it was gusty. I don't care to 3pt it when it gets gusty. I flew4 circuits and made 4 great landings, I think my blood pressure even wentdown a few notches. For me it is great therapy. Keep on building. Flying is great therapy and will save you a lot of visits tothe physiologist. I have another therapy session scheduled for Saturday, I hopeyou do too.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_ ... ______Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 10:13:26 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Went Flying Last night

Scott; sounds like fun, although winds were a little higher than I like to challenge.By the way, where are the registration markings on your airplane? Theyaren't visible in the photo.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Went Flying Last night

Oscar,They are on the rudder. With the plane in the shade they are hard to see. Thefuselage is a forest green and the numbers are black vinyl. It replicates thepaint scheme of the era. Try and find that in the FAR's. Haven't been bustedon it yet. Maybe I'm just lucky.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
