I have looked at the hats in Airspruce but don't own a set of David Clarksand don't want to spend the money to get a set. I was hoping someone may have made a helmet and still had the pattern. I agree on the motor cycle goggles. They look great!ThanksGeneN502R----- > ----------------->>> --------------------------------------------------------------------> mail2web - Check your email from the web at> http://mail2web.com/ .>>> --------------------------------------------------------------------mail2web - Check your email from the web athttp://mail2web.com/ .________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 14:51:17 -0500

Hello List, I regularly fly in cold weather with my Piet up here in Canada. I've experimented with lots of headgear. And I can assure you, this will work as it's been tested to -14C or 6F. A snowmobile style balaclava. Not the sewn wool ones, but the polyester fabric. They usually have flaps on both the front and back that go into your coat. This insulates your neck, and they are thin enough on top for another layer. They also will wick away the moisture to your next layer. Then on top a work wear type aviator style cap. These are made with a heavy cotton duck outer shell, and are lined with insulating polyester and then smooth fabric lined. If you want to use a headset. Cut out holes on each side just a wee bit smaller than the headset seals. The idea is for the headset to kind a snap in at the headset seal cut-outs. When I made mine I had piping sewn in to stiffen up the shape of the hole and make better sealing. The balaclava underneath fits tight enough that the headset still works to keep things quiet. Ant other system that I have tried. Including a hardhat liner instead of the bella clave were inefficient. The multiple layers around the ear section allowed noise to come in. The specific aviator cap work wear item is made by Richelieu Sportwear here in Winnipeg MB. Usually retails for less than $20.00 CDN. If you cannot find one locally I can send you one. The snowmobile bella clava is available from snowmobile specialty shops. Often they will have a double layer in the area that wouldn't be covered by a helmet. Some will also have a flap that covers the nose and mouth. With one of these models, after goggles are put on there is no exposed skin. My Piet has a fairly large windscreen, so I find the coldest part was the back of the neck area. Must be a vortex of air blasting back there. That is why I chose a balaclava with the insulated flap (outside of the area a helmet would cover). If you cannot find one of those, a scarf would do the same thing. Just much clumsier to put on. The ice on the lakes here in Southern Manitoba is thick enough for ski flying operations now. So I have already been logging the hours. You can't beat the smooth air and excellent performance of the cold crisp air.Shawn WolkC-FRAZ 1933 Pietenpol AircamperWinnipeg, MB________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Merry ChristmasDate: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 11:46:51 -0500

Except this summer it wasonly about 3 mos. If it wasn't for the 22 gal tank and limited range, I'dthink about flying the Alcan someday but probably if plane is to make it toAK it will be on a trailer.Gordon BowenOriginal Message:-----------------

Whatever you want to do, doesn'tmatter to me I was just looking to have a good time with other Piet guys. I'llstill plan on flying in for the T-Craft Fly-in, just because I enjoy it. Whateverelse the chapter wants to do is fine.
