I'm going to reply to Vic's post here, not to add clutter or takethe list in a different direction, but to sort of help keep us Westcoast Pieters in contact with one another. Where we live up on theside of a hill we have some mountain quail and I was telling my wifethe other day that when the covey scatters or is spooked, they alltake to the air and land in different spots but soon after theyland, they begin calling to each other to regroup the covey. Solet's say we're regrouping. Vic wrote->I see that you are now in Medford.Yep. Just 30-40 miles up Interstate 5 from the N. California borderand in some beautiful territory. The Rogue Valley.>if you fly the Piet north next spring stop in in Tulare Ca.I intend to, if I fly up that way (and I probably will). I want tovisit Jorge in Hanford, Gary in Cool, and the world famous Chris Tracy(westcoastpiet.com) in the Sacramento area along the way. And somany more flying friends, too.>We have a local airport and an extra bedroom and>my wife makes home made tacos and enchiladas.Stop. You had me at "airport", but I'll readily dive right into the Mexican food! I am missing my $4.95 lunch plates from SanAntonio... and someone came by the other day offering tamales for$22 a dozen. I would be laughed out of the room if I tried thatin south Texas! And my $4.95 lunch enchilada plate in Texas costsme $8.95 here in Oregon, and it's not near as good. Sob, sob. Theseare the tradeoffs that we make in life.>You mentioned friends in Hanford?Yes, my friend Pat Panzera, publisher and editor of Contact! magazine (for whichI am a proofreader and editor), and editor of the EAA online Experimenterpublication, lives in Hanford. Also, one of my partners inthe engineering business is from Tulare (farming family) and his wife isfrom Tehachapi. I can landScout pretty much anywhere in the central valley since it's flat andfriendly. I had wanted to fly up here this fall but it's not looking likeit will happen till spring.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"Flying Squirrel N2069Z "Rocket"Medford, ORwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:30:51 -0500

Jake, No!, yours is not the smallest. I saw a picture on the British Piet site where a fellow built a Piet in a one-car garage. I'm using a two-car garage and that's pretty tight -- don't know how he did it. C----- Original Message -----
