I know you have set yours up to be a single seater
Harvey, but for those wanting to carry a passenger
in Canada and also concerned about the medical,
you have the option of going for the recreational
permit which allows carrying one passenger with
a self declared, class 4 med.
Another issue we have is that our government folks
have the smarts to know that a concerned pilot will
go to a regular doctor for an under-the-counter medical
so the law says that if a doctor knows or suspects you
are a pilot he is required to rat you out.
You USians should check into your regs to see if there
are similiar laws in effect. After all, there are enough
surprises in life without self made ones. Right? :-)

The other alternative is to get the RA licence which allows you to carry
one passenger and I think the medical is stiffer than the Ultralight
category but not too much as it would be for a regular pilot licence.In
some ways our regs are stiffer;for instance in the USA you don't need a
pilots licence of any kind to fly an ultralight.Not so here in
Canada,you have to aquire an ultralight pilot licence regardless.But and
here is the big difference;the ultralights in the USA are much lighter
and smaller than ours by a huge amount.Our ultralights are litteraly
regular size aircraft.Case in point;I was able to register my Piet as an
ultralight.You can't do that in the States.As far as a med goes,we still
have to send our examination into the feds.We just can't say we are all
hunky dory.Sorry if I led you astray there.Our doctors are aware of what
we ask for because it says so right on the form we have to send in with
his signature on it.

A buddy of mine got a few good air to air pictures today on the way to a
fly-in, thought I'd post a couple as motivation for the builders. What a
great day for flying, the weather was perfect. I even got to give rides to
two passengers, their first ride in an open cockpit plane ever. I was
impressed that a Citabria could cruise as slow as a Pietenpol!

Steve,
Great pictures !! I know you have a GN1, by the location of the lower rear
strut attach, and aileron hinges, but it must have very similar flight
characteristics as a Pietenpol. The position of the flippers is a little bit down,
which is how my plane flies in straight level flight. I've seen this on Corky's
plane, too (Oscar has custody of it now). Even when the cowling tank is
full, my plane flies level with a little bit of down in the flippers. With less
than a pound of pull on the stick to get them to be straight, it pitches the
nose up quite a bit. I wonder if other fliers can confirm this in their planes
???
It's so much fun to see the expression of people's face, and their comments,
after their first open cockpit flight !!
