| Subject: | Re: What is the useful load of your Piet? |
Max load on mine is 1200 lbs. Again it is set by the builder. My
understanding not having flown mine is that some guys have had success with
two pretty big guys on cool days.
BTW I am gearing up for a push on my restoration of NX3379. I have bought a
home and hangar at TE86. I am moving everything over with a trailer from
8T8. It is a one hour drive straight across San Antonio. Longer if the
trailer is loaded and longer if it is rush hour. Up to two hours. Yesterday
I moved 5 big lockers and now I think I have room to shove my Vtail into a
corner and put the wings on the Pietenpol. I will be using Gojacks on the
Bonanza that jack the plane up by the wheel and you can move or spin it 360
degrees.
Once the Condition Inspection is done I will do At least 5 hours of flying
near 8T8 to prove to myself It is reliable. Then I will fly 5 more hours
before taking anyone up.
When it it reliable, I plan to commute the 36 NM (41SM to you Oscar!)
between 8T8 and TE86 to work on my Vtail. I may have to divert around The
SAT airspace and Randolph AFB airspace so it could be up to 70 SM or more.
Gee, Not much faster than driving. But I can do it during rush hour and
enjoy myself!
Keep prodding me on working on it. The end of this month I will be getting
Rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder and that will ground me for 6
weeks. So I have a short term time limit.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Hey Steve,
Couldn't you put the throttle on the stick with a twist grip? Then do everything
with your left hand?
It would be, ahem, kinda like someone else was flying!
Good luck with your surgery.
