I have started building again, thanks for the talk and the gift of the magnificently crafted tail feathers! It was good to get together with you and Max, just what I needed to get off my butt and get after things. And let no-one mistake that I was kidding, the KR-2 is a great little airplane. I'm also working (again) on my PIK-20 sailplane, which is all fiberglass. After being a 1-26 driver for quite a few years, in sailplane circles I can now be referred to as a glasshole!

It's a PIK 20b, I'm refinishing it and will get signed off with the annual, (in about a year I think ;-)). No, I'm not an A&P, always wished I'd gotten that, but maybe a few years down the road I will do that. I have quite a bit of help, myself, Jim Tsillas, and Mr. H (an F-16 driver) are conspiring with mr. Dick Johnson in rebuilding a few of these birds. It's all good stuff, but nothing like the Piet. Are you building a Piet? Are you a glider pilot? Give me an email separately on the glider stuff, If you're one of the undecided, quit worrying, start building a Piet!

My first rating was private glider in the early 80's in New Jersey. I'm on a number if aircraft lists, a live steam list, and several for metal working of various sorts including sheet metal forming, casting, and machining. I've been active with the EAA and Corvair groups in Florida and Chicagoland, but I haven't really gotten connected to them here yet. I've pretty much decided on building a Piet, but I've got a few projects here that need my attention before my focus goes to a new one, like erecting a new shop building. I've just spent a pile of money on some other things this month, so I'm juggling when to buy the Piet plans and other stuff, but it will be within a month or so. Where are you located?
