If you don't mind a few more minutes of my head bobbing around, this is a video
of me making a low pass at a friend's strip then landing. With wheels there
is no doubt about the instant I leave the ground or when I arrive. With the skis
freshly waxed and a nice powder it is hard to tell exactly where that ground
is. Lots of fun!

Hey Fred,
The Piet taxis and turns amazingly well on the skis. It will turn just as tight
as with the wheels. They even have very small keels on them and still it swings
right around. Keeping them waxed makes a huge difference in taxi, takeoff
and handling in general. For a couple of winters I drug the tailwheel through
the snow. That little wheel found all the frozen bumps under the snow and
just wasn't much fun. A couple of years ago I made a tail ski. It is wonderful.
It changed the whole handling experience. It just glides along now. I put
a small keel in the ski. I thought I had a picture of it somewhere but can't
find it now. I'll try to get a picture of it today and post it.

P.S. Kip, there probably is some kind of servo mounted attachment out there for
the Go Pro. That's probably too advanced for me though. I have enough trouble
getting past "on" and "record". Ha!

Dick Gleason from Austin used to produce the copies for her whenever she

I may have received the last autographed one she had. As far as original drawings,
I have ever only seen one set of these. The original drawings had white

one of the members of the Austin EAA chapter. Thank You for sharing the photograph

Thank you, Dan, for sharing your warm and pleasant thoughts during this holiday
season. So happy to learn that Orrin C. had become a "Rock Star" (icon of your
troupe)!
I only saw my grandfather a half-dozen or so times during his life. All the trips
were memorable, enjoyable, and influential in my character, but we lived so
far, far away... in Washington or Alabama, or wherever my father's work took
him during my early life. One time, we took "The Empire Builder" train all the
way from Seattle to Minneapolis to see my father's family in Austin. How interesting
for me it was to learn that Minnesotans called my favorite pastry "Longjohns"
(I called them Maple Bars) ... Gee... It must be COLD there! Hahaha
My Aunt Bernis is the one who sent me the negatives a few years back that show
what I believe to be the original B-4-T Junior "Sky Scout". Still don't know if
the pics are in circulation amongst the Pietenpol faithful, or I should try
to revive them. I'd be willing to do my best to get a set of pics printed and
mail them off in exchange for a set of the drawings from somebody. The drawings
are something that our piece of the family lost when my father died. Nobody
seems to know what happened to the ones we had...
Seems at times to me that I became orphaned by the whole family in 1983, as none
had ever lost a father before, and they couldn't understand the lonely position
I was thrown into at that time, in light of my father having remarried several
years prior. That month, managed to finish my finals for the college degree
he wanted me to have and I went to work immediately, but I "crashed and burned"
not long afterwards.
Oh well.. as they say, "That's life! Take it or leave it!"
To all... I wish the Pietenpol Bunch...
Have a VERY Happy New year!
--------
Pietenpol's Forever!

Very nice, Don! Interesting how much your windshield distorts or vibrates
in the slipstream - I'll bet you can't see that with your naked eyes.
I've always wondered about ski-flying - how do you tell where the runway is
for landing (or maybe it doesn't matter, if the snow is deep enough). Is it
easy to find your way back to the airport, with everything white? What
depth of snow do you require?
So many questions, as I contemplate building a set of skis for my Piet.

Funny thing about the camera... I was asking about this kind of camera a
month or so ago on the list here. My wife had already bought it for me for
Christmas and I never said anything to her about wanting one! She just
knows me a little to well I guess! Now to get creative with some mounts on
the wing, the tail, a stick out in front of the wing.... :-)

I was turning it on and off with the wi-fi connection to my i-phone.
The i-phone app lets you preview what you are going to take. The wide
angle setting let me get the whole airplane in the shot, but I imagine
it would be disturbing from the pilot's seat, as it makes the wings
appear to droop. I bought a headband mount yesterday, and I'll post
another video when the winds settle down a bit. This camera setup has a
lengthy learning curve, so it will take us a while to master all the
features.

That's it.................you video and pictures gave me the push I need to head

Temp today is -8 deg. C (a tad on the cool side) but runways are groomed and conditions
are near perfect with the lure of refreshments and hanger BS afterward.

Ha! I used to say the same thing about computers! I remember when I had a conversation
with the guy that owned the apple franchise in town in the late 80s or
early 90s and said I could do anything on the Windows 3.1 platform that you could
do on a Mac...
3 years ago I made the transition to the Mac and now have 2 of them and will never
go back! Funny now how anti windows I have become. My wife constantly is asking.g
me to come fix her laptop with windows issues while I just hum along with
OS X....
Anyway... thanks for the help. I will email you after church. Thanks Jack! I'm
looking forward to eventually staying at your B&B when we can afford to travel
again.... :-)

Thanks Skip! That's it. Makes a big difference.
Jack... yeah I noticed how much the windshield distorts. I sure hope it isn't
really doing that! I do notice after about 6 to 8 inches of snow the runway edges
do tend to disappear. Not a problem at my strip, but at others that I am
not familiar with it is a little difficult to see. I've noticed that some of
the grass runways have older short lights. Those things tend to get covered
by the snow... one of those would sure ruin my day! I've flown with about 10
to 12 inches and as long as it is powder it is not a problem. I'd say 3 to 8
inches of powder is optimal for these skis. I went out once last year with my
daughter and it was up around 40 degrees and the snow was slushy at the end of
winter and the wax probably had worn off. I couldn't get above about 20 mph
on the runway and barely made it back to the hangar... lesson learned. Another
time we only had about 3 inches. My dad and I flew to a local strip with a
restaurant on a nice sunny day. While we were there the sun was busy outside.
As we were getting in the plane I realized I could see the tops of the grass.
It was a very long takeoff run! Back at our strip I landed in the shadows
of the trees. Ha! Another lesson learned!

Don, if that is your welding on that aluminum ski, I am coming up to have y
ou weld up my fuel tank, or teach me the Jedi art of melting aluminum.- "
Good looking his welds are, weld that good many can not."

Don, thanks for the inspirational posting about the skis. I clamped the
Call Air skis on my Chief this afternoon and went up for 45 minutes. It
was a lot warmer than your Piet ride but I envy your position. Two
years ago I could not use the skis. I tried once but the snow was so
deep I got stuck on the runway and had to pull it back to the hanger
with a tractor. Last year we didn=99t have enough snow to put the
skis on at all. This year it seems just right. Happy Holidays.
