Douwe, You forgot to throw the joker out of your deck of cards. Looks well thought
out.
Reminds me of my Light Infantry days. If you want it you have to carry it. We would
carefully consider each item. Playing cards were cut in half. Toilet paper
was taken off of the roll (Cardboard adds up). Full sized sleeping mats were
cut down so that they just fit under your torso, three foot long and 15 inches
wide. Unless it was dangerous cold, no sleeping bag, just a poncho and light
quilted liner. You could cuddle with a buddy for warmth. When MRE's (combat rations)
were issued you went through it and only took the items you eat. No need
in carrying something I will throw away. No tent, that is what a poncho is
for.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Just a heads-up in case anyone's flying to Brodhead from the south-west.
Noticed a couple TFR's about 55 miles to the south-west of Brodhead today.
One centered at Rock Island, another at Galesburg.

Gorgeous photo! What GREAT visibility! I love the weather behind a frontal
passage like that one! You're probably
even a bit CHILLY Douwe! From my experience (and getting older) that makes for
great performance but it makes
you have to pee more often. Thank goodness for the inflight relief bottle...especially
with headwinds when you don't want
to make a stop just to drain your sump.

Mike a technique question. Do you unsnap your britches on the ground before you
put on your seatbelt or do you disrobe in flight?

Well I tried again to get out of Georgia this morning but the clouds were down
to the ground over the mountains and weather to the west and higher mountains
to the east. I flew back to Lagrange and now I am flying to Madison tomorrow
on delta . Wish my Piet was IFR. I was in and out of the clouds from Lagrange
to just below Chattanooga when I did a 180 for back home. see ya,ll tomorrow.

Kevin; I'll weigh in on a couple of your bullet points.
-GREAT idea on the deHavilland 'hump' fuel tank! I think it fits the period look
perfectly.
-landing gear geometry: you already know that William Wynne will fix you up with
a very strong recommendation for how and where to place the gear to give good
handling and W&B. Take advantage. Also, learn from his recent blog post regarding
'captive' shock springs on the gear legs. I'm thinking of converting
my open springs to the captive style that he recently fabricated... but that's
way down on my list ;o)
-I can absolutely relate to Shelley's wishes on the front seat front edge. In
fact, I feel the same way about the pilot's seat. I've flown quite a few hours
as navigator in Scout, up front, and the problem is that my tail bones rest
quite solidly on the seat, but upper thighs and glutes do not contribute much
to the support, so I find myself shifting position after 30-45 minutes too. The
front seat has the additional drawback of being not much larger than a postage
stamp, so the tail bones support all of one's weight. I would go for some
firm Temperfoam pads but the stuff is expensive and I'm not so sure it would
help. I really don't have a solution except "keep trying stuff, and let us know
what works".

Steve; "clothes make the man- and with me, appearance is everything;o) I think
I'm going to go for Aero Trainers again. I'm pretty hard on tires, so I'll stay
cheap. I do like the look of plain, fat, ribbed tires on Scout.

Scott;
Great idea about saving the old tube from the last changeout. For sure, that will
guarantee that I won't need the spare tube ;o) And I have thought about retrofitting
the spoked wheels onto Scout, but the fit between the gear leg pivots
and the fuselage mount points is super-snug and it's not that easy. I would
have to essentially remove and re-mount the fuselage fittings to the longerons
and fuselage, and I don't want to do that. I'll fly with spoked wheels vicariously
through some of the other Piet guys here, and save the spoked wheel
gear for something else (Corky: hint, hint).
