It would appear that the writing is plain as the big nose on your face. With the histeria from 9/11 FAA would be very reluctant to release ANY authority. An example, can any recall any government body (beauros) ever reducing a tax. I would imagine the same fate for the driver's lic physical exclusion. May I suggest that EAA and AOPA approach this from the back door. Instead of relaxing physical requirements for flying OUR Piets, which those quacks in Oak City will never agree to, lets push to have OUR Piets reclassified as an Ultralight. This could solve a big problem. Thanks for bearing with my dreams.

They threaten the national security unless they have a valid medical. Doesn't matter that they can drive their car, truck, motorcycle, bus, van, motorhome, yacht, or anything else without a similar medical as long as they can sign a check and put the transmission selector in "D"... I think you're unpatriotic making these derogatory statements about our Federal government. They are only looking out for us ;o) Oscar Zuniga (do not archive!)

I am building an Aircamper. Part of the reason I chose to build this aircraft was because of the ability to post questions to a friendly bunch of folks. I am following the original plans as closely as possible however, I am building a steel tube fuselage.To do this,I have been working from an incomplete, crumpled 3rd generation copy of a GN1 steel tube fuselage plan. I began my layout work for my fuselage from this simply because I considered it to be a more detailed description of a steel tube Aircamper fuselage than the line drawings of the steel tube drawing on my original supplemental drawings that I got from Ron Pitenpol. Does anyone know where I can get a full set of GN1 Plans so that I can study this interpretation of our Aircamper? Thanks, Allen Smith Hood River, OR ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:33:06 PM PST US From: Wizzard187@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead 2003 --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Wizzard187@aol.com Broadhead campers.

(2) Simple wood and fabric construction (within my capabilities). (3) In Australia it CAN BE REGISTERED AS AN ULTRALIGHT and be built under the "Amateur Built Ultralight" regulations, which briefly is an aircraft with a max. of 2 seats, 1 engine and MTOW of 544 kilograms. An AUF Pilots Certificate is required to fly the Piet, but no medical, (just drivers license standard). The Australian Ultralight Federation fought long and hard for these and other freedoms, but it is an ongoing battle to retain them. Good luck with your bureaucrats, hope to see you all at Brodhead.
