Steve, it wasn't so much that the cabins faced the land. It was more
important that they faced away from the sun and were therefore more
comfortable. (No AC in those days.)

This 5 minute video might be of interest to those using the Ford engine
in their Piets (the "A"=2C not the "T")=2C but the off-road driving sequenc
es
at the end of the video are worth watching=2C too.

Dick the Volmer looks good. I saw one up here at Clear Lake in Northern CA a few
years ago. Always seemed like a neat thing to do. My home in South Dakota is
right on Lake Kampeska on the edge of Watertown. During world war II the military
had a couple of rescue boats stationed in the lake as the NW/SE runway ended
almost at the lake edge and the military did aircraft mods at Watertown before
flying the planes to Russia under the Lend/Lease program. Being only about
twenty miles from the Minnesota border always thought and amphib would be a
lot of fun.
Got to go work on my Piets engine. Going to CC #13 this weekend and want to have
more done first. Just have to put on the heads, front cover and rear oil housing.
Have the Piet landing gear almost ready to weld and the tubing for the
engine mount.
Cheers, Jim

The Volmer is well along. There aren't any more small parts to build. I
might trailer it to show off but not sure at this point. See the attached
pic 2yrs into building. Landing gear is on the welding table. See one wing
in background, other is out of view ( one right and one left). Canopy assy
is done.

So Dick does that mean you have finished the Volmer Amphibian (sp)? How
about an Super Emmeraude? Beautiful low wing two place side by side.

The Falco looks like a mighty nice plane.
That would be a great project. You know many of the crew down there.
Let me know if that is something you would like to do.

It's time to start thinking about
spring. Does anyone want to jump start a project? We are looking
for a project for the Wood Forum at Sun n Fun. You could bring materials
and drive away with a completed basic fuselage or a set of wings, one left
and
one right at the end of the show. Let me know if you would like to
discuss further how to take the next step.
There are several of us from the
list who participate and help.

This first email has some interesting facts about the fin attachment, and
the second has some worthwhile comments about airobatics.
This summer is the 80th anniversary of the Pietenpol, and there are some big
things planned for Brodhead and OSH.

Just the front. Don't confuse the passenger warning label with the EXPERIMENTAL
label. 'NX' just gets rid of the ugly big one on the side of the cockpit.
The black rub-on passenger warning from Aircraft Spruce blends nicely with the
front mahogany panel... not that I'm trying to hide that or anything....

Too bad Jack. That Falco looks nice. I know what you mean about the wife situation.
I'm trying not to be tempted to start a 4th plane at this point.

Just kidding, Dick. Id love to build a Falco, but I need to finish the RV-10 first.
I think Karen would kill me if I started another project.
