They are now in Collinsville, ILL. Linda, the lady who used to work for Wicks and was so knowledgable about aircraft parts now works for them.

I really need to get over my notion that Mama Nature wants to upset me in my (Howard Henderson) Pietenpol. She is so light. I need to meet this challenge head on. In smooth air, she is virtually hands off. I think I can feel every variation in terrain below me, as I have been flying at no higher than 1,000 - 1,200' AGL. Yesterday, I flew her 6 nm from where I keep her, to an aviation event at the Springfield Downtown Airport, held by the Air and Military Museum of the Ozarks. First hard surface landing.....no problem. Had the Piet parked nexted to my 195 (picture enclosed). I chose to leave the Piet at that field due to gusty winds in the afternoon. This morning, I took off in somewhat lighter but still gusty winds, and headed off to my field a whopping 6 nm away. Climbed up to 800' AGL give or take. Had to fly her the whole way. The landing was direct crosswing but not so bad due the fact that the trees on both sides shelter me from surfance winds when I get in their wind shadow. I know that wood gear is stout as she fell from the sky a bit higher than I normally would like. Just blathering here. Needless to say...she is light. A bird fart has to be reckoned with by control inputs. I trust I will eventually get used to this and everything will be automatic, like landing the 195 which used to caused considerable pucker factor. (Also, she won Best Homebuilt yesterday and garnered much interest).

During the upgrade, web services such as the Archive Search Engine, List Browser, and the Subscription Page will not be available. Additionally, incoming and outgoing List Email will not be processed during this time, although no actual email should be lost only queued for later delivery. This is a rather substantial upgrade and includes moving all network, computer, and UPS equipment to a new systems rack. I hope to have everything back on line by 8PM PDT tonight or sooner if all goes well. This is an awesome upgrade that I've been wanting to do for a long time, and should help increase availability of the Matronics systems to near 99.99%! Thank you for your patience!

Even if you've already started your log using another system this one is worth a look. ExperCraft Simple Log is free for builders and is a great way to create a comprehensive log and Web site. It's very easy to use. http://www.expercraft.com Enjoy!

I jsut spoke with Vi Kapler re the cast aluminiun hinges that he makes for the Piet. He said that he still has them and that they are US$50 ( postage included ), for a set of 9 including pins. He said they still need a little cleaning up with a file. His address is as follows: Vitalis Kapler 1033 Forest Hills Dr. SW Rochester, MN 55902 You can call him on; 507-288-3322 Evenings Central Standard Time He sounds like an nice guy . I will send off a money order today for a set of his hinges, somewhat easier than making the steel ones as shown on the plans. Happy Building / Flying ! Mark S Japan.....nice weather for a change ! ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 11:54:47 PM PST US From: Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Checking in - Superflight - AFS --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Kirk!!!!
