Well, I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;o) Our grandson, now 3-1/2, was born when I was 49. Of course, I was 17 and my wife 16 when we got married in 1969. By the grace of God and the patience of my dear wife, we are still together after 35 years and will be till death do us part... I don't take too many unnecessary risks when I go flying, because I always think about that wonderful wife waiting for me at home (and the dog doesn't sleep too well when I'm not there, either ;o) Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:59:28 AM PST US From: "Shawn Wolk" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Snow Skis Unless you must build it yourself. There are plenty of old factory built skis available that will work well on a Piet. There's two sets on EBAY right now at reasonable prices. I htink it would be difficult to build skis as light and strong as the factory made stuff. If you must build, make your own tail ski, or wheel penetration tailski. And yes I'm ready for the flying this winter again.

My thought on the skis was to incorporate a set of used snowboards, but those are quite flexible and pretty large unless you're operating on deep powder snow. There are a couple of photos of skis that I thought I'd pattern mine from, on my website at http://www.flysquirrel.net/floats/ski.jpg and http://www.flysquirrel.net/floats/ski1.jpg if someone just wants to gather ideas. These skis slip onto the same axles as the wheels on your landing gear... NOT penetration skis that go on over the tires. I guess the best thing to do is to fly in to the winter ski deal at Oshkosh to get ideas and take pictures of other ski setups. February, is it?

He does love that Riverwalk jazz festival.

I know of a couple of people who are interested in your technique using handrail to form the LE. Thanks, Greg Cardinal Project update: Dale and I have taxied NX18235 under its own power. A very BIG milestone. Just waiting for the final inspection and hoping for a first flight before the weather gets too cold. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 07:56:25 PM PST US From: "Bert Conoly" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: gn-1s. Howard, Did Doc ever reply to you? There are several of us around that have GNs. I could probably connect you with somebody if you want to talk about them.

I'm new to the list and Pietenpols in general, but I wonder why I never see much about the GN-1 which I understand is a "modern" version of the Piet.

I see your question was about Piets at Broadhead. I truely don't know since I have never been there. I have only been a member a couple of months. I have heard through this newsgroup that GN-1's do go to Broadhead, but there are others who can tell you much more about that. If I am the wrong "Doc" please forgive my intrusion, but if you are new to the group, welcome and nice having you aboard. I will happily answer any questions I can.
