John asked->when are you heading this way?Well, it turns out that I met a very nice gent at Ashland Parker Munilast Saturday and we've struck a deal where I can share his hangar. He'sbuilding a Q2 (super low wing), so with my high wing we should be a goodfit. "My" side of the hangar should be cleared out by June if all goesas planned, so I should be able to fly Scout out West by the time genuinesummertime comes to the Pacific Northwest. Late June, early July. Shouldbe a great time to be out smashing bugs with the windscreen!Ashland Parker Muni is uncontrolled and friendly (more so than MedfordInt'l., which has scheduled commercial flights, is controlled, and hasroving guards keeping the world safe and demanding to see photo IDs).Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"Flying Squirrel N2069Z "Rocket"Medford/Ashland, OR website at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________

Thirty eight by my count. Let's see, assemblyAN130-16S, fork on one end and cable eyeon the other is $29.00 from AS&S. So 29times 38 is $1102. Hmmmm.

Clif=3B I've been in contact with a few friends=2C builders and pilots=2C about Arlington. I've never been=2C but it's right around my birthday (July 28 is my birthday) so maybe I'm due for a visit! I might just have the airplane up here by then and it would really make for a fun and interesting flight. I'd have to stop in Independence and visit Ernie Moreno and the guys=2C maybe pick up a wingman there.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"Flying Squirrel N2069Z "Rocket"Medford/Ashland=2C ORwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piets West
