    From: Douwe Blumberg <douwe@douwestudios.com>
    Marcus, I'll take your extra 196. I've used them and like them a lot and have a nice little mount for it. If there are no other takers On the iPhone I use fourflight, which is really amazing. You are basically flying over a chart with wx info. This makes it really easy to work with your paper chart. I have never used ailerons on rollout and agree completely that they should be used, (like brakes) but was mainly sharing this because I know people who are tensed up Nd trying to save a situation will often use everything and the aileron will make it worse Douwe Sent from my iPhone

    From: Douwe Blumberg <douwe@douwestudios.com>
    For those building, here's some wisdom from and old timer is like to pass along The tailwheel control horn length relative to the rudder horn length greatly effects ground handling characteristics. A tailwheel horn shorter will move the wheel more than the rudder for the same control input, the same length will move less, and will feel more neutral and less sensitive. He said make them the same length. I did and it feels just about right. Noticeably less sensitive them a shorter one I tried. Douwe Sent from my

    There's an Android app called Naviator that I have on a 7" tablet that also works well for the type of flying I do in the Piet. All sectional charts f or US are available and if you are within 4G range, it will provide weather overlay plus METARS. I think the yearly subscription is $39. Now to figur e out how to keep the tablet alive for the 2-day trip to Brodhead. I'm thin king a gel-cell 12 volt motorcycle battery connected to a cigarette plus an d use and automobile charger to the tablet. Then a solar trickle charger fo r the battery. Thoughts?

    Subject: Re: auto GPS test
    Years ago we tried to make a small battery charger from a bicycle generator and a model airplane prop. It might have worked if one of the guys had not experimented by holding it out the window in flight to see if it would spin up. it spun up fine but his hand was across the terminals and he was shocked. He dropped the generator. We never built another one but I still think it could work.

    Pietenpols are going mainstream! I gave Ian Twombly from AOPA Pilot magazine a flight about a month ago, and someone just emailed me that a picture of 9MikeLima is in the July issue of AOPA's Flight Training magazine. Twombly writes, "The Piet is aviation at it's best - it's flown low enough to see details on the ground, slow enough to linger, and open to the world with all its smells and sounds. It's freedom from gravity at its finest." I think he gets it! Matt Paxton

    2rn came with a gps designed for hikers. It works great. Lots of road and lake detail. Since no aviation stuff, it forces me to keep good vfr charts, from which I read the lat long of where I'm going, or avoiding, and plug it in with the identifier. Easy on the batteries, small, been super reliable. One set of aa batts lasts about four solid days of flying at least. Hooked up to a small motorcycle battery, I went a year once without so much as a recharge. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=443629#443629

    He contacted me out of the blue last fall and we never could set up a time for him to come down. He seemed to really enjoy the flight. I told him he ought to stop off at Brodhead on the way to Oshkosh to see a real fly-in.

    Subject: Latex Painting Update at Airventure
    I just got the schedule for the forums at Airventure and I will be presenting on Wednesday at 11:30 in Forum Bldg 1. This year I will try to share what I've learned on the Micro Mong project and discuss issues that others have encountered with spraying, rolling, brushing, sanding, polishing, and selecting paint. I hope to see some of you there so please stop in and say hi. I will also try to post the updated powerpoint on the wienerdogaero.com site. Malcolm Morrison
