I flew into Meigs many times, what a beautiful setting from the whole pattern. Typical Chicago politics closed it. Nothing is safe, where was the FAA when we needed them. Sorry I won't get started.

I=92m building the split gear, long fuselage with brakes. The archives suggest (Bill Rewey) moving the gear forward 3 inches. The plans call for the Vees to be 22 =BC=94 long with 19=94 wheels.

I'm looking forward to seeing that thing together a nd painted. Jim, great to hear you're getting things done on your Piet such as the tank s. I'm have my left wing about ready to get the silver (poly spray) and the fab ric is going on the right wing. I love seeing and hearing of everyone's progress Mike Groah Do not archive.

Not being a geometry guy, any idea on the amount to shorten the vees because of the "squat" of the gear? It can't amount to much. Thanks!

I will not have my Piet ready for this season so hopefully a Titan Tornado would still be welcome. I plan to fly the Titan to Brodhead and Oshkosh in 2012 and as you say, it would be a good shake down cruise. Fathers Day is a tough one due to family commitments, but other weekends might work. This past year was really bad, weather wise that is, for fly-ins here on PA.

This would be the 3rd time I hosted one, but the turn out has not been great the past couple years. Last year was a wash due to weather, and possibly hosting it on Fathers Day weekend. I am thinking of moving it back in the year a little to get more stable summer weather vs the unpredictable spring patterns. I am looking at hosting a fly-in with my neighbor regardless. If any of you have any input let me know, I am trying to plan it when it won't interfere with other big fly-ins, events. I know of at least 4 piets within 1-2 hr flight time, and it would be an easy shake down cruise to prep for brodhead.
