Thanks for all these posts.... I plan to make my center section wider so I cancarry more fuel in a enter-section tank, but it sounds like the slightly longerwingspan would not hurt either. (I had considered trimming a bay from each wingto keep the wingspan more stock.....?!?!). Working on the walking beam inthe shop today after I drive the "first teacher in space" to an event at the Museumof Flight.... tough duty...--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Went flying today...

A friend of mine has the dealership rights to California for the Sport CruiserLSA and asked me to help him sell some. I am in the midst of the 4th lay off in7 years, so I figured what the heck?!We went flying today so I could experience the plane, and after not being behindthe controls for 4 years, it sure felt great. I wish I was further along onmy Piet, as it is hard to be stressed and worried at 4500 feet looking down onGod's green earth!So glad to hear Douwe is back in the air with his beautiful airplane! The SportCruiser is one very nice plane, and I hope to get more time in one as time goeson. But you can't get bugs in your teeth with that big canopy! Need some fresh airfor that... :) Not a substitute for an open cockpit!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Went flying today...
