This was my first time at Brodhead, and I enjoyed every minute of it. When I heard
it thundering I was glad to be in a dry motel room :)
I'm still kind of new to the Piet. but learned a lot while there. I really wanted
to go for a ride, but I feel way to awkward asking someone for a ride in there
airplane. We ( my girlfriend and I) will be back next year hopefully with
some picture progress on my Pietenpol. Great even, loved it!

Hi Larry,
Welcome to the list! I believe I spoke with you, your daughter, and a
gentleman from SW Minnesota while I was buttoning up N8031 one night.
Or, maybe that wasn't you - I met so many wonderful people I can't keep
everyone straight in my head.
I thought you already had a flying Pietenpol? Or again, is that my
faulty memory playing tricks on me?

Hey Bratman; are you really making up some "Crank Snappin' Corvair
Society" t-shirts to sell? I would like to be first in line if you are.
We should get somebody with artistic skills to make up a (CS) logo for
us to emblazon with pride on our Corvair powered birds. Maybe Karetaker
Aero as he's obviously had some practice at it. By the way, the new
Hitler spoof had me rollin' on the floor when the boss walked in.
Embarrassing but worth it.

t-shirts?
Michael:
I swiped a copy of your "Hand Crafted Individually Unique Works of Art"
emblem for my screen saver. I am more than a little impressed with your
artistic style so would really like to push you towards designing a (CS)
logo. Something that would replace that silly "FORD" thing that some of
the guys feel inclined to staple to their airplane. And then maybe a
fancier one to put on the vertical stab. (Just thinkin'.)
By the way, for all you young whipper snappers (as opposed to "crank
snappers"), you can include a lot of strange symbols in even simple text
documents by just holding down the Alt key while typing in a number
between 128 and 255. This is an old trick from MS DOS days. For
instance Alt 253 give the superscript . Numbers lower than that will
usually equate to normal keyboard characters while numbers higher that
255 are not included in my chart so I don't know what they will
produce.

Thank you Tom for the kind words. Feel free to use that logo as a screen sa
ver. (But please do not reproduce it.- 8^[ )- ) I actually have a few o
ther logos just like it for "Homebuilders" and "Experimental". Ultimately,
I would like to buy an embroidery set-up and sell them and my other creatio
ns in the form of patches that can sewn on anything the customer wishes.
It appears that John Hoffman is already in the works on just such a logo. I
f he would like some input, or if we believe there should be more then one
entity working on such a project, I could work on the art.

I am 100% behind you when it comes to intellectual property rights for
your creations. I should have asked your permission before copying your

Hello all you good people,
I finally was able to catch my breath after returning from Brodhead, to do
a little writing.
Got up early on Friday. Kept checking the weather radar every 15 minutes..
.............watching that stationary front, was agonizing. Had to wait ti
ll 12 noon on Friday to depart, since my home-made prop could not tolerate
one drop of rain. At 12:15, was finally able to start-er up, and taxi out
to runway. As I took-off, and ventured away from the Poplar Grove Airport
perimeter, I got a lump in my throat and a knot in my stomach. I said to
myself..."now I know how Charles Lindbergh felt when he left the security
of the land beneath him (Nova Scotia), and ventured out over the Atlantic
"..............there was no turning back now.................... very nerv
ous along the way.... kept checking the oil pressure, water temp., and pic
king out emergency landing fields on the ground along the way.........over
and over and over again............ took comfort in the repetitive report
, from the sound of my Ford model A ............. ........"pockita-pockit
a-pockita-pockita".....Finally was able to settle down, look down, and app
reciate God's creation....How beautiful she is!!! WOW!!! ........was using
my GPS to stay on course.....after about 35 minutes, got close enough to
spot the airfield at Brodhead.......turned off the GPS, and as I approach
ed closer, lowered the nose, increased airspeed, and came roaring-in over
the treetops to surprise the crowd!!!!........it was spectacular.!!!! ...
Made a tight right-hand turn,.... and then a left....... then hard-over
for a 45-degree- bank, 360 turn right over the crowd at low level.......
came-around.... and landed.....taxied -in and shut-er down right in front
of the crowd......before I could remove my goggles and leather helmet, I
was getting an ovation......WOW!!!.......ten years of building finally pa
id-off!!!
Thanks to all for the support and encouragement along the way, from everyb
ody on this list. I don't know about you all, but I am addicted to this li
st, and I consider you all among my good friends, even though I have never
met many of you. This list and it's people is what kept me going through
the years, when I was stuck or discouraged. Those few days when nobody wr
ote in were very depressing for me. So keep writing.

After about 35 MINUTES? Now how do you equate that to crossing the Atlantic, at
night-? Here in Texas it takes that long just to unfold our state map! ;o)
Just kidding with you, Dan. What a handsome airplane you've built, and it's great
to hear all the excitement. Well worth celebrating.
I'm sure your daughter is mighty proud of you, too. (That IS your daughter in
the picture with you, isn't it?)

Dan,
Beautiful post; beautiful experience, beautiful plane, great builder.
Congratulations. Keep it up. This is an important milestone, but now you need
to add the hours, see the sites, buy the $$$ burgers, look over more of God's
green earth. Get bugs on your teeth.
You have done the heavy lifting, fun though it may have been. Now is the second
phase of "fun... fun... fun...," and no one takes the T-bird away.
Piet builders and fliers are special people, all right. Look what they did
to help Kevin Purtee this last week. Look at all the posts in great detail, unselfishly
offered, over the years. All the pictures of tiny little details.
Terrific stories and cameraderie. And of course Brodhead is magical.
Tim in central TX

Congratulations on finishing such a fine bird. I only wish I only lived
35 minutes away, because I sure would have loved to have my plane there
instead of a rented Nissan.
I'm only about 1300 miles away, so that is about 20 hours flying time.
I'd sure feel like Lindberg at the end of that flight! Maybe some day.
Nice meeting you and all the others in person, only wish I'd had more
time to spend with each of you.

Does anyone have the video of Jack's talk at Brodhead? Specifically,

youtube).

Just got back to Remsen NY, 2200 miles R/T, driving. Sure would be nice to do
it in a GN-1. I just want to say that this event is what grassroots flying is
all about.
No glitzy airshow but great people, great food, and great airplanes all around.
Special thanks to Dale McCleskey for bringing the only GN-1 (that I saw) and for
the great ride he gave me including some flying from the front hole. I have
a real incentive to get my bird in the air and see if I can sit in it long enough
to get to Brodhead in 2011.
I think Dale was a newcomer to Brodhead but he sure flew the pants off that little
bird and he always had a different passenger. Dale, I hope you got home OK
and will post some of your navigation experiences. Great stories!

| Subject: | Photos from Brodhead 2010 |
Okay Piet lovers, I have managed to edit, resize and upload to photobucket.com
the 400 photos that I took this past weekend. They have been sized to 800x600
so that they load quickly for easier viewing. Hope that you all enjoy them!
