I tryed the vor once flying to winona and it worked good. but I never used it after that, because my trusty fleet farm $99 gps took me everywhere I wanted to go.

We are looking at Winfield Airpark. Grass runway, looks like a great place to base a Piet. If all goes well we hope to buy a lot and move there about June next year. Good to hear there is some Piet action in the general area. Skip, still in Atlanta for 1 year, 2 months, and 11 days, not that I'm counting. >Anyone out there based near Fayetteville, Arkansas? >Thanks, >Ken Goff >Farmington, Arkansas ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:45:23 PM PST US From: "George Allen" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Kip --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "George Allen" You're right Kip, this IS supposed to be about Piets & flying. Questioning our leaders on this mailinglist makes me start to question your character and I'd rather not. And I really don't want to know your political persuasion. I really like and appreciate your knowledge I've seen on this list. I'd prefer to stay friends.

Have a King KX99. Tried the VOR once to see how it works. Never use it. I suppose it would be a backup if the GPS gave out. Costs about $100 more for the VOR. There is a 24" square plate of aluminum on the inside of the belly for a ground plane. Have lots of range. Works good. On the one I am building I want to put an internal antenna just to avoid one more thing that takes away from the 30s look. Coming to SnF?

Can you add an external antenna? With just the standard antenna do you have a satisfactory range? I'm not sure I even need that feature, I have a small GPS. > Dick N. > >
