I'm new to the list and am in the final stages of deciding what to
build, fascinated by the Piet. Since I'm vacationing soon in the
Midwest I thought I'd stop by Brodhead to fuel the decision. I'm
concerned about a number of things: a) as a low-time pilot without (as
yet) a tail wheel rating, b) who has some experience with wood-working
but no experience tinkering with engines, is a Piet too ambitious a
project for me? I've got a good mechanical aptitude and am not bad with
tools, but wonder if I would be wiser starting with a standard (and much
more expensive) kit as a project, such as a STOL CH701. But I love the
satisfaction of working with wood which is one of the things steering me
toward a Piet. Any comments would be appreciated, and I'm especially
curious to hear from any New England Piet people, as my introduction to
the aircraft was a gorgeous one from Maine that I saw a couple of years
ago at an Ultralight fly-in in New Hampshire.

Hi! I too am new to the group and to building airplanes. The only previous
experience I've had is I built a pair of "Airbike" (ultralight) wings. I bought
an abandoned project, started by someone who really knew what he was doing.
I've not been sorry..in fact, I'm tickled to death, because I got a really good
deal on it, I've saved GOBS of time and I've learned a lot about craftsmanship
by observing what my predecessor did. Good luck.....(whatadya got to
loose?)....Carl

Mark,
Welcome to the list.
If you like working with wood and have good mechanical aptitude you will
probably enjoy learning the other skills you have to learn to build a Piet.
The main question is how much of the work you want to do, any plans built
plane is going to be a lot more work than a kit.
My opinion, the less hours you have when you start flying tail wheel the
better.
Warning, if you come to the Piet fly-in at Brodhead, you may not want to
build anything else.

Mark.....On my original response to your message, I let two thoughts run
together. The abandoned project that I referred to is a Pietenpol Aircamper
project. The only reason for mentioning the Airbike wings was to give you some
idea
of how much (little) experience I have had with airplane construction. In
fact, I have bought two incomplete Aircamper projects. I bought the first one a
year ago. Then in November, before I got under way with the first Aircamper, I
found another one which fit my list of requirements even better than the first
one did. So I bought it too. I decided to complete the second one then deal
with disposing of the first one. I call the first one Piete and the second one
RePiete......Carl

Mark,
Have you looked at the KR type aircraft.
They are wood and fiberglass as opposed to wood and fabric.

Mark,
I think if you make the descision to build a piet, you won't be
dissapointed. It's probably one of the easiest aircraft to build and of
course you'll have the great support of everyone on this group. If you like
woodwork like I do, you'll enjoy the construction of the piet. Most of it
so far has been pretty intuitive if you are decent with woodworking tools.
There have been a few challenges but wood is so forgiving that it's pretty
hard to make a really costly mistake.
Of course the opinions you'll receive on this list are quite biased toward
the Piet. I would agree with others who've said, once you attend Brodhead,
you won't want to build anything else.

Just so you people know, I have looked at the pietenpol and thought of
building one but I have built a KR2 (1974 to 1987) and I want to build
another much modified version so I can get cross country a little faster
than a Piet.
I can rent a J3 or Champ for low and slow fun.
I lost my med and am waiting to see how slow I'll have to make this KR
for the sport pilot lic. If it's too slow, I'll build the Piet.
