Just got back from the Twin Rivers Fly-in, in the Shenandoah Valley ofVirginia. Matt Paxton keeps his brand new Pietenpol there and was flyingit, although he can't give rides yet since he's still flying off the Phase Ihours. I flew my Pietenpol in, with my wife, Karen, in the front seat.Gene Rambo had his 1928 Travel Air 2000 there, and his friend Pete Hays hadhis Skybolt. Both of them brought their sons - good to see young kidsfooling around with airplanes. In addition there were various otherairplanes there, including a Piper Comanche and a Light Sport called aChinook, that looks something like a Titan Tornado.Since it was getting hot, and my Pietenpol doesn't climb all that well whenheavily loaded, I asked Gene Rambo if he would mind bringing Karen back toSmith Mountain Lake in his Travel Air (partly because I wanted her to gether first ride in a biplane). It had taken us 20 minutes to climb from 900'to 3500' to get over the Blue Ridge mountains on the way there, and that wasin the morning, when it was cool.Here is a picture of Matt's new Pietenpol. Those of you coming to Brodheadnext month will get to see it there, if he can fly another 27 hours in thenext month.Here are some other aircraft at the fly-in:And here is Gene's Travel Air in flight:Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 17:53:10 -0500 (GMT-05:00)

Yep, had a great time hanging out, and Tyler always likes coming out to see thechickens and other critters you've got running around. As for sanding... thatDoug Fir is HARD stuff! I swear you must have sharpened those ribs before Icame out just to give me something to do. HA! I've never felt wood so sharp!Note to self... self, don't use Doug Fir. Glad we could help out.

Not the kind of terrain I would fly over with anything but a reliableengine. I fixed th climb problem later in the day by installing a newCloudcars prop. 33% improvement in climb rate and 3 mph faster cruise.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____
