Hi all,Douse, you are very much correct about navigating the southwest. Yes the airspaceis cluttered and somewhat restricted. Gary's pic shows it well. If you positionyourself properly when leaving San Diego it is easy going north. Once upa thousand feet you can see the San Bernardino mountains 90 miles away. Then youjust pick a point to fly towards and manage your altitude to avoid the restrictedairspace. Not really a big deal.When flying through the Midwest, it is very challenging to me to use pilotage only.The GPS is a must have for me when flying back there. Tools, good to hear you got another plane for your boy to fly. Now you can haveyours back.Cheers all,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair Fuselage Questions

Great information, guys. Really helpful - and it certainly sounds like a fairlycost-effective build - with 100000% ROI on the fun factor.Those inspections in Canada will no doubt be a pain, but a necessary evil if youwant to carry passengers. I'd of course love to go the Basic Ultralight route,but it's so restrictive.If only TC would certify it as an Advanced Ultralight. That will be the day --------Your nose is high; you're in the sky.
