Barry: I've only seen one Piet on floats. it was in an old ( now defunct
) Int. Piet. Assn. newsletter, so they must be quite rare. I think it
used an O-235 Lyc. If no one can help you, Wag Aero use to sell a float
fitting kit for the Cub. ( probably still do ) It surely could be
adapted to a tube Piet frame. Leon S.

Here's something else for you snowed-in Pieters to do to pass the time...
visit the UK Aircampers' website. Some really pretty work, and good photos.
http://www.aircamper.co.uk and sometimes their server is slow so give it
time. I guess we should warn them about not using Lucas "prince of
darkness" electrics on their Pietenpols (And they wonder why they lost the
war back in 1776!)

Mike,
He's still got a web site up. Seems like his big thing is music now. Guess
some don't realize the commitment to build, or realize "low and slow" is not
what they want. Hate it when I see a Piet for sale.

Walt----- You stuck it out and even though winter nipped your test flying
in the bud only after
a few hours in the air, you've tasted the fruits of your labor,
dedication, and perseverance, and
investment. Well worth it all, wasn't it ?? (and you ain't seen
nothing yet.) Somewhere I read or heard where only one out of
eight homebuilts ever get finished and flown by the original builder. That
was true of mine. I bought the bare bones fuselage and a set of
tailfeathers----and those had been
passed on twice before me ! John Dilatush knows the feeling, Carl Loar
will find out soon, Jack
Phillips will taste the same joys.....and lots of others on the list that
belong in this e-mail.
keep plugging guys---it's well worth it......and if you don't know if
you'll like it, get a ride in one first.

Ya know life IS funny! I'm like a kid again waiting for spring, and it
keeps creeping up on me.
Guess I'm a strange person. That doesn't mean good or bad. I was blessed
by parents that didn't preach, didn't harp, didn't have to punish. They
didn't tell us what we had to do,,,they lived the lesson. ( in todays
terms,,,"they didn't talk the talk,,they walked the walk"). And this is
something we didn't know we were being taught till we were older. My Dad
used to do some great projects around the house that I used to quietly
admire. Guess thats where he got me hooked. When I started my Piet, I
finished it because I yearned to finish it, not because I had to.
The funny thing is that I've never seen a Piet in the flesh till I saw mine.
Think I saw one long ago at a fly-in, on a trailer, and It could have been
Jim Malley's, but I don't know.
But Wow,,,mine looks like most of the rest.
Although I haven't physically flown this winter, I've mentally flown.
Practiced stalls, and slips, and fly-bys. Even had a couple of engine
outs. But I got down OK, thanks.
Now it's time to go to the next level (there are an infinite number of
levels in this life, you know) After the 25 hours fly off, my Mentor will
be the first set of butt cheeks in the front seat. After that I can't wait
till the passengers start comming. I remember my early days in the Cessnas,
and the starry eyes.
Now in the open cockpit,,,It'll be great. Maybe even get into Young Eagles.
Maybe some day I'll fly into a field and all the builders on this list will
be there, and I can meet them.
