Details are on his website at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/airspeed_calibration/ However, 41CC seems to perform pretty much as others have described in cruise, flare, landing, dive, and everything else and I'd be happy knowing my instrument is within 10% of actual. And I hear what you're saying about headwinds. When my friend Charlie ferried 41CC from Shreveport to south Texas, he was flying into our typical southeast prevailing breeze here and he sure got tired of sitting in that seat watching vehicle traffic passing on Interstate 35 down below. -------- Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX Air Camper NX41CC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=282401#282401 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:24:59 AM PST US From: "Jack" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Selling my Pietenpol Project Jim, Sad news Jim.

But, I'd like to help head off 'em off at the pass, as it were. I have 2 ideas that may help you save your Piet: Instead of selling your project lock, stock and barrel, sell a partnership in it. Keep the price the same, and keep working on it. Considering that finished, flying Piets are selling for around 12+k on barnstormers, 6k sounds about right. It sounds like you've got a pretty good EAA chapter down there, maybe you can find a partner from the club. Heck, if push comes to shove, why not sell the plane *to* the chapter. Again, you get to keep working on it and fly it, too. Just a couple of ideas...

I received this today and wanted to share it with my friends and the folks I look forward to hearing from daily and seeing yearly so at the risk of getting too serious, her it is a public service health massage and worthy of your attention: John INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW........................ B lood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue I will continue to forward this every time it comes around! STROKE:Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R. My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read: STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARM S. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. otmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. _Get it now._ ________________________________ Message 36 ____________________________________ Time: 11:07:53 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aint Selling no Pietenpol Project selling shares now From: jb.spiegel@us.schneider-electric.com My $20 is in the mail Pony up boys, Sent to.

Keep the price the same, and keep working on it. Considering that finished, flying Piets are selling for around 12+k on barnstormers, 6k sounds about right.

I just want to say that you all have a very tightly knit group here and I think that you all are very supportive of one another. I have heard the sad news of Jim needing to sell his Piet, and I know that we are all upset about it. Owning, building, and flying airplanes are dreams that we all share, and I know we don't want Jim's dream to end like this. I have read about ideas about us all buying stock in his plane, in an effort to help him keep it and still meet all of his other financial requirements. We also know that if any of us were in the same situation, Jim would step up for us, and not let our dreams be sold. I really think that if we put our heads and our money together, we can really make this happen for Jim. I know that he really would like to keep his plane even though he can't work on it as much as he would like to. What do you all say to putting in some serious cash to Jim? If we all can put in a hundred or so, we might be able to make up the $6,000 he needs. If Jim is willing, who is ready to invest in Markle Enterprise?

As you know one of our family is faced with a need that left few alternatives and through and by that he decided to give up his dream for the good of his family at a much greater purpose. I know Markle, I have visited with him and shared the idea of the Piet family legacy and what it means to the children and relatives who have stood by and watched, picked up a piece of sand paper a rub here and there and like magic a memory to last a life time is built, a bond across the limits and boundaries of time. One of the most fun things I have experienced is to see the joy and delight in Jim's face and eyes as the Model A comes to life and the sound fills the yard and his face with an unmistakable aura that cannot be described but only experienced. I find it impossible to see that sacrificed for what amounts to be financial decision for the here and now. We know that life turns on a time changing from day to day and crisis to crisis and some where in the middle is a glimmer of hope and light that makes the fight worth while. Many of were shocked and astounded by today's news of the Markle project announced sale and if I thought for a moment it was driven by frustration and loss of interest I world say okay he's moving on and God bless. That however is not the truth the truth is, he's taken the high road to provide for his immediate family and in so doing is giving up the dream and family legacy for the bucks of today. So rather than go on, Ill get off the soapbox and to the point I spoke with Jim and was able to get him to hold off on the sale decision and commitment for a week. During that week he has decided to accept the offer of a stock sale and take one partners to save the Piet , the dream and legacy. Here's where we come in. I said count me in as did many others and without hesitation we need to raise the selling price of $6000.00 to keep the Piet. Now few of us have that kind of cash in walking around money and may if not all of use are only 2 pay periods away from financial catastrophe. For many of us a few stops at the local pub, McDonalds and the all important double shot of mocha choka la tae whatever at 5 or 6 bucks a pop daily it doesn't take long to add up. Add up to the magic numbers. Here is what I am proposing, if you can pony up for 1 share at 60.00 we need only a 100 people to help naturally the more we can kick in the less the others will need to. The key is to get Jim the 6 K so how bout it? 100 people at 60.00 200 at 30.00 300 at 20.00 Realistically some of us have more disposable income than others so if we all kick in for a share the problem is solved, and Jim keeps donating his time energy blood and ambition to the Piet and the worst is we are all out a few bucks for a worthy cause. If we cant pull it off the Piet and the dream is going down the road on someone's trailer along with a big part of Jim and his legacy. As builders I think we can all appreciate the time, care, dedication and love that goes into the build. For $60.00 dollars to preserve that is a small price to pay on behalf of a friend, heck Jim and I can eat more pizza and drink more beer than that on a night at the hanger. Jim has agreed to graciously accept our offers and be responsible for the confidential book, if we cant pull this off, and I don't see why we cant the cash gets returned to the rightful owner and the Piet goes and the effort goes down as another failed attempt at the preservation of dignity and a dream. That's the deal. Count me in for a full share What are your thoughts? I am sure we can make it all pretty with certificates and that stuff but the need tonight and this week are the pledges, commitment and stock purchases. Please join me and the others to help one of our family keep the faith hope and legacy alive. I know if the roles were reversed Jim would Kick in without hesitation. Its time to share the love Thanks John ________________________________ Message 53 ____________________________________ Time: 07:00:07 PM PST US From: Tim Willis Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Selling my Pietenpol Project I am quite willing to pop for $100 and suspect most of the rest of us would, as well.

John et al, You may well be on the right track with 100 X $60, and if so, more power to us all. My impression is that we do not have 100 active posters on here, and if I am right, then 60 X $100 is more likely to succeed. I don't care how it works, as long as it does. I will pay $100 for one (1) share of "Class B stock," as opposed to one (1) share of the Class A at $60. Cheap SOB that I am, this is a non-issue for me, for money cannot buy this board and these guys, and esp. a few like Markle. BTW, Class B contains no differential rights.

But, I'd like to help head off 'em off at the pass, as it were. I have 2 ideas that may help you save your Piet: Instead of selling your project lock, stock and barrel, sell a partnership in it. Keep the price the same, and keep working on it. Considering that finished, flying Piets are selling for around 12+k on barnstormers, 6k sounds about right. It sounds like you've got a pretty good EAA chapter down there, maybe you can find a partner from the club. Heck, if push comes to shove, why not sell the plane *to* the chapter. Again, you get to keep working on it and fly it, too. Just a couple of ideas...

The rough plan is to take and track solid commitments, confidentially, for a week to determine for Jim and the group if the $6,000 goal can be reached. At the end of that week Jim will make the call as to whether he can keep the Piet and sell the shares, or if he must contact potential buyers and proceed with a sale. Again, no money is to be exchanged yet....we want to get solid commitments, or pledges if you will. If Jim decides to proceed then we will handle receipt and tracking of the funds; if for some reason the effort falls through after some amount of funds have been collected, then all money will be promptly returned to whomever sent it. I am going to setup an email address dedicated to the process of receipt, tracking, and all communication to us for this effort. I'll set that up now, and I will email shortly with that address to send commitments to, along with further information. Thanks!

I k now Markle, I have visited with him and shared the idea of the Piet family legacy and what it means to the children and relatives who have stood by an d watched, picked up a piece of sand paper a rub here and there and like ma gic a memory to last a life time is built, a bond across the limits and bou ndaries of time. One of the most fun things I have experienced is to see th e joy and delight in Jim's face and eyes as the Model A comes to life and t he sound-fills the yard and-his face with an unmistakable aura that can not be described but only experienced.=0A=0AI find it impossible to see tha t sacrificed for what amounts to be financial decision for the here and now . We know that life turns on a time changing from day to day and-crisis t o crisis and some-where in the middle is a glimmer of hope and light that makes the fight worth while.=0A=0AMany of were shocked and astounded by to day's news of the Markle project announced sale and if I thought for a mome nt it was driven by frustration and loss of interest I world say okay he's moving on and God bless. That however is not the truth the truth is, he's t aken the high road to provide for his immediate family and in so doing is g iving up the dream and family legacy for the bucks of today.=0A=0ASo rather than go on, Ill get off the soapbox and to the point I spoke with Jim and was able to get him to hold off on the sale decision and commitment for a w eek. During that week-he has decided to accept the offer of a stock sale and take one partners to save the Piet , the dream and legacy. =0A=0AHere's where we come in. I said count me in as did many others and without hesita tion we need to raise the selling price of $6000.00-to keep the Piet. Now few of us have that kind of cash in walking around money and may if not al l of use are only 2 pay periods away from financial catastrophe. For many o f us a few stops at the local pub, McDonalds and the all important double s hot of mocha choka la tae whatever at 5 or 6 bucks a pop daily it doesn't t ake long to add up. Add up to the magic numbers.=0A=0AHere is what I am pro posing, if you can pony up for 1 share at 60.00 we need only a 100 people t o help naturally the more we can kick in the less the others will need to. The key is to get Jim the 6 K so how bout it?=0A=0A100 people-at 60.00=0A 200-at 30.00=0A300 at 20.00=0A=0ARealistically some of us have more dispo sable income-than others so if we all kick in for a share the problem is solved, and Jim keeps donating his-time energy blood and ambition to the Piet and the worst is we are all out a few bucks for a worthy cause. If we cant pull it off the Piet and the dream-is going down the road on someone 's trailer along with a big part of Jim and his legacy. =0A=0AAs builders I think we can all appreciate the time, care, dedication and love that goes into the build.-For $60.00 dollars to preserve that is a small price to p ay on behalf of a friend, heck Jim and I can eat more pizza and drink more -beer than that on a night at the hanger.=0A=0AJim has agreed to gracious ly accept our offers and-be responsible for the confidential book, if we cant pull this off, and I don't see why we cant the cash gets returned to t he rightful owner and the Piet goes and the effort goes down as another fai led attempt at the preservation of dignity and a dream.-=0A=0AThat's the deal.=0A=0ACount me in for a full share=0A=0AWhat are your thoughts? I am s ure we can make it all pretty with certificates and that stuff but the need tonight and this week are the pledges, commitment and stock purchases.=0A =0A=0APlease join me and the others to help one of our family keep the fait h hope and legacy alive.

We have one week to secure solid commitments for $6,000 to help Jim keep his Pietenpol dream alive. At the end of that week Jim will take a look at the amount of funds that have been committed and make his final decision as to whether or not he can keep the Piet. If Jim gives the green light, we will then begin accepting the generous donations, and the funds will be deposited into a bank account created solely for this purpose. We will also investigate creating a Paypal account linked to that bank account so that donations can be made that way. Please note: DO NOT send money at this time. We (Jim, John, Jess and myself) want to ensure that no funds are exchanged unless Jim gives the go ahead. We just ask that you make a solid commitment that you are prepared to fulfill at this time next week. So, in order to register your donation please send an email to: marklepietenpolfund@gmail.com with your name, contact information, and the amount you would like to commit. I will create a simple web page to track the progress of the level of donations; I'll post the link to that site in the next day or two. All donations will be made in confidence; it's up to you how or if you wish to disclose that information publicly. Please open your hearts and your wallets, and get caught up in Markle Mania 2010!! Let's help Jim keep this crazy Pietenpol dream alive! Thank you, Ryan & Jess ________________________________ Message 68 ____________________________________ Time: 08:23:48 PM PST US From: Kip and Beth Gardner Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Selling my Pietenpol Project OK, Someone has way too much time on their hands.
