Sorry about the multiple posts yesterday - not sure what happened.(don't want to get off on the wrong foot on a new list)Flew the Piet for about an hour last night. My turns were keepingthe ball busy (about +- 5 degrees).After I landed I talked to a 'Funk' pilot and he demonstrated the'lead with the rudder' concept for initiating a turn. I guess mytail wheel time in a Cub and 500 hours in my Tri-Pacer didn'tteach me much!Are there any other list members in the Central Texas area?I will be at the Bartllesville Biplane flyin this weekend in theTri-Pacer (White and Blue N4540A).If any body else is there stop by!Kevin________________________________________________________________________________
