Hi Pieters,I have to go away for a few days but since the list is fairly quiet, I just want to wish a happy and safe new year (and the rest of the year!) to everybody on the list even though I am a fraction early saying so.Also, since there is some snow around some places, I thought I would post a pic from last year of my little r/c Piet on it's skis.The Piet is now a bit over 14 years old and is still getting flown most weekends. Like most Piets, it is very long lived and fly's just great!Cheers to you all from Japan.Mark S________________________________________________________________________________

Hey Scott,I used to attach my Garmin to a mount that (with a slight wooden adaptorpiece) clamped onto the top longeron in the cockpit. It would put theGarmin up front on the right, just over the coaming and really worked well.Can't remember the company's name that made the mount, but it's the big onethat everyone uses. They make like a million styles.On my long flights, I started with the garmin 196 gps, and foreflight on myiphone as a backup and a chart as a back-backup. After two 196's puked out,and a couple years using the iphone, the Garmin went away and the iphone isthe main GPS. I made a little sheet metal bracket that slips under thecoaming stitching right in front of me so the iphone is right in front of myface. The chart is folded away as backup.Three years now, never had foreflight puke out on the iphone. I HAVE lostthe WX capability because that is still tower based.By the way, where is your plane based? It think I might be driving past youon my way from KY to L.A. next week.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: GPS
