For those that know Frank Pavliga's familiar old Sky Gypsy, I thought I'd post
a shot of the new and improved Sky Gypsy. He out did himself on this one!

Walt; that is a great idea! I just pulled the cowl on my airplane yesterday and
was wondering about a way to secure the hinge pins. Although they have never
worked loose, my A&P asked me about securing them when he did the last annual.
Mine simply have legs bent on the ends (L-shaped) but that little locking
hook is nifty. If you don't mind, I'm going to snag the photo and put it on my
website for others to pick up.
I put another 1.6 hours on 41CC yesterday in high and gusty winds, but it was great
fun and landing on the grass at bicycle speed into the stiff wind was a piece
of cake.
I've sort of started to feel bad about the looks of the airplane. It's no hangar
queen... not very clean, a bit of oil smudge here and there on the belly, fuel
dye stains on the passenger floorboards, unused holes here and there, and
the spray-can color of blue paint that I used on the rebuilt gear legs and cabanes
doesn't quite match the PolyTone that Corky used on the rest of the airplane.
However, the airplane flies great, gives me no trouble, and it smells like
a real airplane everytime I climb into the cockpit. No apologies once the
airplane leaves the ground, but I feel bad that I haven't kept it looking like
it did when Corky first finished and flew it.

It's actually a Lambert. Which I believe is the same basic engine as the Velie.
The Velie became the Lambert after an ownership change, I think. Mr. Pietenpol
built an Air Camper with a Velie. I should have taken more pictures of it.
It is a beauty!

Wow Don, that really looks sharp. Nice picture. Do you have more?
Sky Gypsy was always a great looking Pietenpol, but this transformation is something
else. Do you know if Frank has flown it yet? It would be great if he could
fly it to Brodhead.

Unbelievable! You were right Don. That is amazing. Love the new paint scheme.
I remember him saying something about leaving the wire wheels exposed this
time.
