I realized I had never done one in the Piet. I am not sure I have anything useful to report. I pushed full power and slowly pulled back. I can't tell you the angle of climb but it felt a little like a rocket. Not speed - angle - don't get too excited. I got it back to 40 mph and it didn't seem to want to stall. I think it finally "stalled". Never fell off or anything definitive. Just hung there and didn't seem to do anything. I was flying on a short trip with another plane and didn't want to linger too long so I dropped the nose and headed on. I had climbed 1000' while trying to stall it. I will do more on another day when I have time to experiment some more. How was your experience?

I keep my heels off the floor and do alot of toe dancing. And above all was to "stick" the stick. got to make a point of full back stick, and hold it there to plant the tail wheel for positive response ON the tailwheel. > thanks, > walt > NX140DL > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:47:34 PM PST US From: "Ted Brousseau" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Landing gear conversion --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Ted Brousseau" I am thinking of converting from a split axle to a straight axle landing gear. I already have the landing gear fuselage fittings installed for the split axle. Does anyone see any problem of using them and building fittings at the top of the straight axle gear that would have 5/16" pins attaching them to the fuselage fittings just like the split axle gear? Thanks for your thoughts, Ted ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:18:57 PM PST US From: "DJ Vegh" Subject: Pietenpol-List: T-88 cleanup --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" I have found the perfect cleaner for washing your hands and tools clean of gooey T-88 resin. Brake Parts cleaner.... get a spray can from your autoparts store and use it to clean your hands and such after mixing up a batch. Cuts right through and cleans perfectly! Make sure you wash your hands with soap afterwards to rinse off the brake cleaner.

Many auto parts stores are now carrying Scrubs in a Bucket. They are towletts with a degreasser. They remove the T-88 and are safe on the skin.
