Just looking at your engine pics again. Would be cool to see a before and
after shot next to each other, just to show what can be done with the right
motivation.
Looking forward to seeing a best plans build award hanging off the prop when
you get it to Oshkosh.
Again... Nice work.

Chuck-- you did one 4 hour and two 3.5 hour legs on your way back from the
land of Holsteins and Cheese ????????? Holy Moly ! And here I was so
proud of my longest leg being 2 hours and 20 minutes. You are one
Pietenpol animal. There are only so many ways you can shift your weight
and get re-comfortable in our cockpits.
When I flew via the airlines a few years ago from Cleveland to Phoenix it
took 4 hours nonstop and I thought gosh, I'd have only made about 280 miles
in that amount of time in the Piet.

For those interested in a better tailwheel setup that might save 3-5 lbs right
where it would do some good on a piet. And improve ground handling to boot. I
havn't flown a piet but I did have a taylercraft, and I would guess they handle
about the same. If they do, there is a world of difference between my taylorcraft
and my sonex. I am building a piet and plan on using the same sonex setup
on the piet. per following pics

Hey Chuck,
If you had done a big pylon turn around that 500ft radio tower west of
"Cheeney" lake, you would have flown over our house! We're a mile north of
the road west out of Andale & 2 miles west of K-17 highway.

Well ol' buddy, if ya got the fuel, ya might as well burn it !! :)
During my test filghts I realized I needed a more comfortable pad for my
butt. I used pieces of various dense foam to make a pad, with the thinest part
in
the middle where I actually sit. It forms somewhat in a deep dish shape, and
most importantly, extends 2" forward of the front of the edge of the seat, to
give my thighs some support. Then just made a cover out of denim fabric. I
gained lots of experience on how to climb in and out of the plane, while I was
making that seat !! I used to be able to blame my numb butt cheaks for a bad
landing...gotta come up with a different excuse, now.
