I think you added me two years ago when we started the Pietenpol build process ... now on the fuselage and thinking about the gear ... Dave and I (Dave Schlieder ... my childhood building/drinking buddy) are trudging along, putting one foot in front of another, having great fun! Next year we might have Dave doing his lessons which will, I believe, inspire him to finish jump on the wings and to fly up for the meet! Please add Dave to your list dschlieder@cox.net so we both can get you flier.

I have flown NX41CC with two different engines and two props. I now have a third prop (Prince P-Tip)=2C but have not flown it yet. With the A65 and 72x42 Hegy wooden prop=2C the airplane cruised at 65-70MPH and sipped 4 gal /hr. I changed the engine to an A75 with a 72x36 Valley Engineering (Culve r) wooden prop to allow the engine to turn up to its rated 2600 RPM for tak eoff=2C which it does. It now cruises solidly at 70MPH and still sips abou t 4 gal/hr. at cruise=3B maybe just a tad more. I can make the airplane fly faster with full power=2C but it isn't happy there for long. I have made some high-speed passes down to the runway at our home field and also done s ome high-speed=2C high-power descents from altitude at 90-95MPH=2C but the airplane felt like it was going to jump out of its skin or pop its eyeballs =2C and I couldn't stand it either. It feels and flies best right around 6 5-70 MPH and that's where I am happiest with it too. Even at $5/gal for av gas=2C that's a $20 bill for an hour of flying in the most enjoyable airpla ne that I've ever had the privilege to fly. Well worth it.
