That would account for the need for a long motor mount. Sounds like your CG range is very small (no doubt thanks to a wing tank, rather than a nose tank) and well within acceptable limits. The weight of your Piet sounds a little on the heavy side, but you've got lots of power available to compensate with. Good luck with the test flights. Bill C.

Corky; not to be uncharitable here, but if I may put this in a diplomatic way: I have no problem with you riding in the front seat of 41CC but it might get us on mission with a bit less "effort" if I were to take front seat and you get in the big roomy cockpit with all the controls ;o) Besides that, I've gotten very good at climbing into the front cockpit very quickly after prop-starting for the pilot. So, let me fly navigator/bombardier and just call out heading and distance to target and let you fly the airplane, OK? I can still picture the Mitchells clawing their way off the deck of the Hornet when Doolittle led them on their raid. Fully-loaded Piets would do a lot better... the Hornet had a deck that was about 770 ft. long and a Piet would have no trouble at all working off of that deck. The only problem might be that it would take forever to land and take off... with the ship sailing at a forward speed of about 30 MPH and any wind at all, we'd still be at 75% power on landing, all the way to the deck, or the ship would pull away from us ;o) Or were you thinking of making it a run-the-tank-dry, suicide, one-way mission into enemy territory with no return to the ship? do not archive !

The only thing wrong with it is it doesn't fit in with the vintage theme (like my electric trim and white socks and sandals) and its only a single gauge (most builders like lots of gauges). On the positive side besides weight and cost it leaves plenty of instrument panel room for my comm radio and gps instead of having them hanging all over the cockpit. I also includes hobbs, volt meter, flight timer, caches the min and max readings of all sensors, and allows setting min/max for all sensors and turns on the red light if anything goes out of limits. Wiring is very simple also, just a couple DB-9 computer type plugs into the back of the thing. rick On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 10:55 AM, K5YAC wrote: > > Awesome Rick!
