My Piet's C.G. was at 39% empty when I bought it. I solved the problem by installing a 12v Gel cell on my firewall. It drives my radio, intercom, and GPS and the Hobbs meter. The batt. with mount weighs 30lbs. New empty wt. 703 lbs.

My local chapter of the EAA is more of a social organization. I think I am the only one building, so that does not appear to be a viable option. Anyone have any suggestions or contacts I can talk to? I would certainly appreciate a contact.

Thru advice from many when I started to build the Piet, was to join the local EAA. The one and only meeting I went to was a mixture of the loudmouths complaining of who didn't bring the right beer or the right sandwichs to the last picnic. I toughed that out, only to hear them call out the end of the meeting. Nothing about building or flying. I have been blessed with meeting my mentor, Dick Lawson EAA # 272, 80 odd years old, and a wealth of knowledge. He got me thru two projects. Now in his mid 80's he's starting his 10th or so homebuilt,,,a Flying Flea,,,with a 1/2 VW that he builds. May he live forever.
