The guy who catches and re-releases the streamer the most times wins a beer (after the flying is done for the day). Kind of like catch and release fishing. Then gather up all the torn up streamers and aero distribute them to the local tree huggers convention. Just kidding about the last part......Or am I? Shad Hey Mikee, I haven't tried the crepe paper yet, so it is on my 'to do' list this summer. I'll just have to keep 'er below the Vnewdcpa speed. Question: Would a slip, slide the crepe paper off the wing ? Would a slip in the other direction slide the crepe paper closer to the center ? Come to think of it, it would probably make a pretty good Angle of Attack Indicator !! I'm gonna have to get some video of that !!

Hi Guys, After some enforced repairs caused by a ground loop, I had the Piet flying again yesterday. I have fitted a re pitched prop, changed the tailwheel and brake setup and improved the cooling system. The flight was uneventful other than a rather large grin all over my face. Hands and feet off the Piet wanted to go nose down a little but I think a little more power and that will trim out. I have fitted a trim lever but will need to get tensions correct before use. At the end of the taxi back to the hangar, the oil temp was a bit high but I think I'll leave the engine some more hours to bed in before doing much else with the baffles. If the weather holds good, I'll be doing some more testing in the next couple of weeks to see how things go. It all looks good now though.

I can just imagine that grin; I'd be wearing it a long time if I was you!
