I just sent my brother and my pietenpol to Tucson AZ for the winter. There is a low pressure blowing in from the south and since Utah is north of AZ he was going into the teeth of the wind. I watched him take off and climb to 100' or so before he passed me. I raced down the taxiway and realized I f I had another mile I could have caught him. His first fuel stop was abo ut 100 miles away. He called about 3 hours later and reported that his hig hest ground speed was 60 mph, and during climbs he was as low as 35 mph! W inds and turbulence were as forecast. Near the end of the description he a sked, have you ever been sick in an airplane? I responded yes, before I re ally understood the implication. I asked him 'did you get sick?' He said he now has greater appreciation for open cockpit airplanes, but that I hav e new decoration down the fuselage side and tail... He said the hardest part was choosing - over the left shoulder, or the right? He landed in RI T (Richfield) after 2+ hours with winds gusting to 25kts (down the runway) and didn't have time to clean up before flight service was calling him abou t his overdue flight plan.... I miss the piet already!

That was the most wonderful smell I've ever whiffed from my open cockpit !! Chuck G.
