Group,
4 F right now here in sunny Cleveland. The discussion about this cold
snap around the nation reminded me of New Year's Day, 2000. While lots of
people were fretting about the Y2K non-crisis we had plans at the local
airport to be the first ones to fly that morning. Turned out to be a sunny
winter day with a fresh 2" of snow on the grass runway and a balmy 8
F. It took us about 20 minutes to get the 65 Cont. warmed up.........and
maybe another 10 for me just to fit myself and 4 layers of clothing in the
rear seat. We had to find out if the Piet design was Y2K compliant. After
about 12 minutes in the air circling the airport at about 600 feet agl I'd
had enough. I think the Cub and the Fairchild also flew that day but they
have enclosed cabins and heat !! Stood around the torpedo heater for the
next 1/2 hour and rotated like a chicken in a grocery store rotisserie.
THEN.......last September while coming back from the Indianapolis Airshow I
made a fuel stop at Neil Armstrong Airport near Wapakoneta, Ohio. I
think the guy at the FBO desk said it was something like 96 F right
then. But it was a dry heat:)) See what you got yourself into by moving
to Ohio, Kip:)) ?

Group---from time to time people want to install smoke systems on
planes. They are a riot, lemmie tell you.
Anyway.....after Walt Evans mentioned the Dawn Patrol site, I had to go
there. I would love one of those puppies but why have TWO slow
planes. Anyway, they have a good write-up at the site below of how they
installed their smoke systems.

Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;
The folks at "ePanel Builder" added the Piet instrument panel that I sent
them, so now you can pass those dreary winter days arranging your panel
layout. Go to http://www.epanelbuilder.com and now the Piet is one of the
choices after you click on 'begin building your panel'. The panel is for
the rear cockpit; the front is a bit larger but no one seems to be putting
anything in the front 'pit.
Go ahead; put in a moving map, HSI "glass cockpit" ;o)

Jim,
If you have any pre 1960 EAA Sport Aviation magazines, EAA Experimenter
magazines, or Popular Aviation magazines from the 1930's, I might be
interested.

My father in law, John Grega, developer of the GN-! air camper and long time
supplier of plans advice and parts, passed away in November. Among the tons
(literally) of items he left is his last project. It is a nearly completed
R/C model of his airplane.
if you have any interest in this or any of the estimated 1000 model airplane
plans, old magazines, etc., let me know. As soon as we sort it out i will
get back to you with particulars.
Thanks,
Jim Vydra

Mike,
Is yours a similar system ? What is that web site ? I would really like to
install a smoke system, however, in todays world of suspected terrorists, I
supose you would have to be cautious about where you lay down smoke...
