Douwe, SPOT is a handheld satellite personal tracker. For complete info go to www.findmespot.com The way I use it (it can be used in different ways) it sends out my location (anywhere in the world) to my computer, every 10 minutes. There's also an emergency button, that when used, will start a search for you if you need help. Also a button that sends out a "I'm ok" message to whom ever you choose. SPOT may not be for everyone, but works for me.

They were giving them away if you subscribed, at Oshkosh last year. I use the "I'm OK" button, which sends an e-mail message to anyone you choose. Mine sends a message "still having fun". It just lets my wife know that I've gone flying, and sends your GPS location with each message. The personal site you get will show a map with all your way-points for the last week.

Good luck dealing with Spot. I've been waiting for my $50 rebate from them since Christmas, as have others. I've been in contact with them lots of times, and I'm supposed to get the rebate, but that's been the same story for the last 4 months. Unbelievable!

Last wee I finally discovered (thanks to you nice folks) that the Piet's Gross weight is around 1050 lbs, with a useful load after fuel of somewhere around 400 or so pounds depending on engine, accessories, and whether you got rid of all the diet coke you drank before you took off :o) As I am 250 and 6'4", and my wife is a good looking 145 or so (it's true she's good looking to me, but I also figured it's the only way I think I'd live through the night if she found out I told her weight to the world at large...). I am looking to make sure that the plane will be as light as possible so I could CONSIDER taking some form of over night bag or a tent to attend Brodhead sometime. So, I am looking at the steel verse wood option, even though I prefer to work with wood, not steel. I don't look forward to cutting or welding steel, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do if he refuses to exercise (joking here...). I have no idea what the weight diference really is over all, and if it is indeed significant, I have some people ready to help weld that have quite a bit of experience. But, hanging my butt in the seat of something I welded as my first project is not a reassuring message for my wife. Any thoughts from you bunch would be very much appreciated. Also, what are your various empty weights so I have some realistic idea of the final over all weights in the real world... Thanks guys!!

It is for wheel rims that came on the Kitfox not ATV rims. I tried looking up the company in the article and they don't seem to be in business anymore. I bet you could figure something out like this for ATV wheels or other rims. The other interesting par of the article is the weight of his landing gear, 17.6 pounds. That is the finished weight for one side including the V's. Wow! Just one of my wheels weigh 18 pounds and that does not include the wood or axel. If you want to save weight go with the steel gear.
