Just imagine how nice a curved seat would be....Just kidding - we don't need to get that discussion going again.Funny thing is that I did not realize that your Piet has a "short" fuselage, andthat John's has a "long" fuselage. I would have guessed the other way 'round.Probably the long nose (ON YOUR PLANE) threw me off.I have now sat in the front seat of three Piets, the first two being short fuselages,and the third one being John's, and I can say that the long fuselage definitelymakes for a more comfortable fit for a taller passenger (I'm 6'-2").I had no problem moving my feet and legs out of the way to ensure that they didnot interfere with the pedals and control stick, whereas with the short fuselage,it would not be comfortable for any period of time.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Well Scott (and anyone else that couldn't make it, but wanted to), I'd say thatBrodhead 2011 was a success. I didn't get an accurate count (I'm sure someoneelse probably did) of the Piets there, but I would estimate that including theseveral Piets based at C37, there must have been close to 25 in attendance.Only two Ford-powered Air Campers flew in (Larry Williams and "Pieti" Lowell Frank),and three Corvair-powered Piets (I know that these three were there - KevinPurtee, Gary and Shad Bell, and Tom Brown). Dick Navratil had his Rotec-poweredPiet, as well as his Continental-powered one. And I think almost everythingelse was Continental-powered (except the Last Original or the Ford poweredPiets that are based at the field).The weather was... interesting. Thunderstorms each night, and blistering heat inthe daytime, once the rain moved out. As a bonus, there was some humidity togo with the heat. But there was lots of flying each day.The food was ... well, you know they boil fish there, don't you. So, if you likethat, I guess it was "as usual" (good or bad). I didn't try the mosquitoes,so I'm not sure how they were. Just kidding - they weren't too thick, but theywere present. Jack and Susan Textor made the generous offer to host a FridayBratwurst lunch, and followed through in colors, feeding something like 80 people.I bet they won't make THAT mistake again! I don't care what anyone says,I think Jack's not such a bad guy
. Seriously though, that was extremely generous,Jack and Susan. Thank you. You are truly nice people.There were a few long distance Piets - Kevin Purtee all the way from Texas (witha crank-snapper, no less), Jack Grenier from Colorado (Jack is only 90 yearsold), Larry Williams from Arkansas (Model A), Jack Phillips and Matt Paxton fromVirginia. Matt managed to overcome some difficulties with his prototype retractablelanding gear, and arrived on Friday afternoon. There may have been othersthat also traveled long distances - sorry if I omitted you.As usual, many acquaintances were rekindled, and many new faces were put to names,and a good time was had by all. And, even though it's a day longer than itused to be, the whole event seemed to go even faster than usual.
