Subject: Pietenpol-List: RE: closeThanks Bill!!! Weather has been to windy to fly since the day I got the GN.I spent a lot of time yesterday going over every inch of the plane, and evenstarted the engine a number of times just to listen to her purr. I'm stillpracticing getting in and out of both cockpits. I'd like to make the entrylook fluid like Michael Cuy does on his video, but the first time I tried toget in the front, I had one guy pushing on my port side, and one guy pullingon my starboard side, while my wife helped with the left foot. (I can do itby myself just fine now though). I would have loved to have a video ofthat.Having a blast!Robert>Obviously I don't speak for everyone but something tells me I speak for alot of the group when I say that I don't mind being the sounding board foryour ramblings!>>Congratulations!>>Bill Sayre>>> -----Original Message-----

Isn't it funny how when we get our planes we spend time going over them duringbad flying days and then later just go off and do other things? Perhaps you'relucky having the chance to go through it well before a lot of flying. Eventhough I don't like starting engines for short periods, (even cars) I'd be doingEXACTLY what you're doing. Keep up the fun - just thinking about it makesme smile! Won't this summer be GREAT!!!Enviously,Bill> ----------
