Guys- I was wondering why lately I've been getting grumpy and I think I found out the reason: lack of Piet flying. Yesterday wasa balmy 38 F here in Cleveland so after work I went out and beforesunset flew about 30 min. My disposition has improved greatly.The mechanics were out flying a PA-11 , basically I'm told a Cubw/ 90 hp. They let me take it around once. Wow, this thing had all the awesome things like an enclosed cabin and a heater !!!!I felt spoiled.Happy New Year to all !Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________

Now you know how I feel not having mine finished and just going out andstarting up the engine. Is 30 minutes all you could take or is that all ittook to get over the grumpys? I think I would be looking at covering thatfront cockpit and installing some cockpit heat. Or move to Texas. Frostbite occurs after how many minutes? Frost bite once a week is better thanthe grumys.jas>Guys- I was wondering why lately I've been getting grumpy and I >think I found out the reason: lack of Piet flying.
