Jeff;Inspiring little video! Couple of questions for you. (1) What did Andy have tosay about the sensation of flying the Piet solo? Climb like a rocket and handlea bit more lightly than when two-up? (2) In the ground-to-air footage whenlooking at the plane straight on, it appears that the wing is dead level...no dihedral. Yes? Operating off of grass is really the way to go in these airplanesand besides adding to the 1920s feel of flying them, it really softensthe overall feel of things and makes it more fun than operating off of hardsurfaces. You have a great place to get the most fun out of your airplane there.Just a bit of a challenge with the "tunnel" through the trees on final, too.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
