off
Vladimir Putin was touring a factory to view the great Russian productivity. He
stopped and asked one line worker, "Comarade, could you come to work after having
a glass of vodka and still produce the same great quality product you do,
today?" The worker replied, "Da, Mr. Putin, this would be no problem for Visily!"
"And, Visily, how about 2 glasses? Could you still come to work after 2
glasses of vodka?" "Of course, I would have no problems!" Putin was amazed, because,
as you know, a Russian glass of vodka was no less than 6oz. Putin decided
to ask one more question, "Clearly, Visily, you have the stamina of a Russian
bear. Could you come to work after 3 glasses of vodka??" "Mr. Putin, I am here,
am I not?"

| Subject: | Pietenpol Aerial almost done |
That IS a very nice Aerial! It will be interesting
to hear how it flies. I've really never heard how
they fly and there aren't many of them out there.
Now cover your ears if you don't want to hear this,
but to my knowledge none of the Pietenpol family ever
had any connection to Chad Wille's Aerial design and
no one named Pietenpol has ever registered one, so
there is no such thing as a "Pietenpol Aerial". This
one may be the first, if it is registered that way.
As I understand the regulations, one may register an
experimental amateur-built aircraft with any name that one
chooses. Thus, there could be a Rutan Air Camper, a
Pietenpol White Knight, or even such a hermaphrodite
as an F-100 Van's Rans Zenith Aircamper ;o)

| Subject: | doing a little flying |
The flying has been very pleasant the last few weeks around
here since it's starting to turn into autumn. A bit cooler
and drier and we get to use the other half of our runway
(the Rwy 35 side). Final approach to 35 is over some trees,
so we get to practice our drop-ins and slips more. Not
to mention more crosswind practice. It's been that way
lately.
Yesterday was a very nice day here in S. Texas and next
Saturday there is an open house and fly-in to Cannon Field,
which is home to a group of Liaison and Observation pilots
and airplanes. So I decided to just mosey on over and see
how the preparations were coming along. The Piet flew
great, we made a nice wheel landing at Castroville to top
off the fuel, then hopped over to Cannon, which is about
15-20 minutes' flight. Grass strip that has quite a bit
of roll and rise (which adds to the challenge), but a great
bunch of folks and it should be a lot of fun next weekend.
Needless to say, the airplane drew a crowd, nobody knew what
it was, and everybody thought it was the niftiest airplane
they had ever seen. These airplanes are real crowd-pleasers.
Flying back to San Geronimo I spotted what looked like a
miniature airport with an X'd-out runway. Power off and
spiral down and next thing I know there is a large scale
RC biplane zooming up toward me. I circled the "field",
the RC went back down in a loop, then turned on smoke and
started back up towards me. Boy did I wish my smoke
system was installed and functional, and I could have
really surprised him a long stream of smoke in reply!

I wasn't aware that there were no more listed as pietenpol Aerial. I know the
fuselage is built from the original Pietenpol plans, I built it. I think is is
a St. Croix conversion. I did how ever register it as a Pietenpol Aerial so
maybe it is one of a kind in that repect.. If it is not truly a Pietenpol
I hope you all won't mind if I continue to visit and post on this forum. I think
it is an incredible source of information and everyone here has been so nice
to help me.

Had some fun turning flanges and fabricating other tank parts this weekend.
Figured out a way using a 3/8 pipe fitting to use as an index to drill the
flanges. Still have a way to go on the float gauge. It's been tough
working on the gal with such nice weather, severe clear and 75 to 80 the
last two weeks! Wish I could have been flying.

Hey Dan,
As I'm learning, and Jack has shared many times, these kinds of setbacks are
really a challenge to work through, but it's really a mental game. However,
after they're worked through and a few weeks or months down the road, it'll
just be a good story to tell someone while you're back enjoying your
absolutely gorgeous plane!!
I'm still hoping to be up and ready to fly again next spring. we'll see,
things are going slowly.

Oscar might want to cover his ears. [Wink]
At Oshkosh Doc Mosher commented on the various design variations and changes to
the Pietenpol. Doc compared Piets to snow flakes. We all recognize a snow
flake when we see it. No two are alike but they are still snow flakes. It
is easy to see the Pietenpol resemblance in your Aerial.
Keep us updated on your progress.

I'm in Washington state and have some free time tomorrow. I've heard amazing things
about Boeing surplus, but I'd also heard a year or two or three ago that
they were closing. Does anybody know if they're still open and what kind of hours
they keep?
