It's a long video, but scroll ahead to 17:45 and see how easily my 6'2" son
exits the front cockpit. BTW...cabanes are plans length, no
door...turtledeck is even 1 1/2" taller than plans.

Nothing to it, Glen. Watch the first two minutes of this video as Mike Cuy
demonstrates the front cockpit entry/exit technique and then a first-timer
tries it for himself:

Glen;
I'm almost exactly the same size as you are... 5'-9" and usually around 155 lbs
but right now (post-holidays and haven't been working out) I'm carrying "a little
extra" ;o) I can get in and out of the front cockpit without all of the
gymnastics shown in the video that Rudy made of Mike Cuy's airplane. It's pretty
easy, even wearing winter gear. You should have no trouble, except that I
don't know how a lower wing will change the picture. If you reinforce the wing
in the area where there would normally be a wing walk, it should be an absolute
piece of cake.
So I see that Hubbard is about 35 miles from Independence. I've been trying to
get up to Independence to visit with friends, so if I get over there you'll be
welcome to hop a ride in Scout. I'm hoping there are still one or two of the
old Noon Patrol Nieuport replicas up there so I can fly a sortie with them.

Jim,
We stopped and ate at Nancy's back in 1994. If I recall correctly they would take
pics of the planes and pilots who visited and put them on the Cafe walls.
Is this the same place? I had forgotten all about it until I read your post.
Oscar,
We will get you to cross that small mountain range this year. I predict it will
happen around the first weekend in June.

Speaking of which (thank you, Scott)- does that mean that the 2015 event at Frazier
Lake would be the weekend of June 5-6-7? The main day being Saturday the
6th, of course.
I still have all the charts and fuel stops and flight log from my planning of the
2014 flight that never happened, so picking it up again this year would only
mean refreshing my charts. I've got to fabricate and install a Bill Rewey-style
handheld radio holder, and I may also rig up some sort of iPhone holder so
I can use my phone map. I have a Garmin GPSMap 196 too, but I haven't installed
it or flown it in the Piet yet.

Also (and this is completely off-topic now), I happened to be looking for something
on the Westcoastpiet site and out of curiosity I clicked on the very first
listing on the 'Photos' page, which is Adrian Meilleur's Air Camper. Unless
I'm mistaken, this Piet was completed and flown up in Canada and is now owned
by a lady pilot. Yes-? And looking at the photos I see where Adrian made some
clever rudder cable guides out of nylon sheet and attached them to the fuselage
framing in the form of gussets back there. Also some other nice details
of his fuel system, although as William Wynne and others have mentioned, the down-lead
from the overhead fuel tank should incorporate a flexible section and
a breakaway fitting. He's got a nice Steve Eldredge float-style fuel gauge and
he also incorporated non-adjustable rigid cabane struts (although he used "swing
set" ends on them).

Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I convey the sad news of the passing of our
Australian Piet builder and pilot, Graham Hewitt, aged 86.
Graham passed away just before Christmas after suffering a stroke.
His funeral was today.
Attached is a news article link from his home town in New Zealand.
At 86, he was still performing aerobatics, wow! (Not in the Air Camper!)
