What fun Scott!
Thanks for sharing. I for one find it really fun to hear others' flying
adventures. Would sure love to tool around the perfectly clear blue skies
of So Cal in my Piet!!
I've always thought Nav would be so easy out there with all the major
landmarks. Here's everything is flat and looks the same from the air, you
have to really fly in an area for a while before you start noticing the
subtle nuances so you know where you are.

Hey Scott,
Did your dad write up a story for the old BPA newsletter in the ninties
about your flight to Brodhead and back??

My first ride in an open cockpit airplane was in Scott's dad's blue and yellow
Piet in SoCal around 1995.
I think it's amazing he still has the same plane and flies regularly!
My son and I just picked up a project from a guy who built it thirty years ago
and has been flying it regularly, over a thousand hours, ever since. Unfortunately
he had a little mishap, kids aren't interested in his plane at all, and
his flying days are over...

Hi all,
Douse, you are very much correct about navigating the southwest. Yes the airspace
is cluttered and somewhat restricted. Gary's pic shows it well. If you position
yourself properly when leaving San Diego it is easy going north. Once up
a thousand feet you can see the San Bernardino mountains 90 miles away. Then you
just pick a point to fly towards and manage your altitude to avoid the restricted
airspace. Not really a big deal.
When flying through the Midwest, it is very challenging to me to use pilotage only.
The GPS is a must have for me when flying back there.
Tools, good to hear you got another plane for your boy to fly. Now you can have
yours back.
Cheers all,
--------

What does the 11-3/4" dimension from the top of the longeron at the front of the
fuselage locate? Does the 1-1/4"X 1-1/2" ash board for the motor mount get located
5-3/4" down from the top longeron?

Douwe,
Because you asked. ") This was written by my dad "Sparky Sparks" after we returned
home from our 1996 adventure to Brodhead. Enjoy the story.
See the attachment,
Happy Landings all,
