| Subject: | Re: Mr Sam - Pietenpol N687MB |
I am retrofitting a step onto my bird. As part of the decision process I
have drug steps and stools of various heights up to the side of the plane
and have decided that a step added to the seat area is about the right
height.
You might play with various heights as well.
Blue Skies,

100 MPH seems a little bit low for a top end. I think mine goes up to 120 MPH.
I realize that most Piets have a marked Vne in the 90s, but some of the Corvair
powered Piets claim that they cruise in the yellow and have Vnes in the triple
digits. My guess is that the instrument would cost the same regardless of
the range, but given a choice I would much rather have an instrument that reads
on down into the 20MPH range than one that starts at 40 and goes up to 120+.
