I keep hearing how good they work. The part that bothers me is that sometimes after I return home from an afternoon of flying there is a 30 knot wind at my home airport. I think they would take away my ability to taxi or even land if I had them. Therefore I will use that money to buy more fuel so I can convert the fuel into noise which is converted into flight which is equal to pleasure/lower blood pressure. Oh yea, they also add to the empty weight.

From: "kevinpurtee" Hi Bob - One quick comment about the "poor guy" who "ran out of fuel in cruise and made a successful landing off airport in a field." I, along with several hundred other people, watched him take off for that flight from a fly-in we were attending. His float gauge was indicating empty. Several people mentioned it to him. His partner asked him about it. Shelley offered to go get him gas. He said he didn't need any fuel. Some accident chains are easier to decipher than others. -------- Kevin "Axel" Purtee NX899KP Austin/San Marcos, TX Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=393160#393160 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:16:36 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Comparison test between Pietenpol airfoil and Riblett airfo From: "nightmare" I guess i shouldn't mention the piet mod i'm working on. but here is a hint..."Burt Rutan". -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=393166#393166 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:39:40 AM PST US From: Michael Perez Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Comparison test between Pietenpol airfoil and Riblett airfo Paul, a canard or winglets would look great on a Pietenpol.

I have seen them both straight and bent and am curious if a bend would allow water to settle in on the bottom and allow "dry" air to flow into the indicator. (if getting cought in rain in flight ) Perhaps-in flight, the water will just get pushed in anyway.- Anyone have issues with the straight tube pitots and water? - Michael Perez Pietenpol HINT Videos Karetaker Aero www.karetakeraero.com ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:41:57 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: A-65 prop in classifieds From: "Pilot78" I saw this in our local aviation classifieds.
