Told him I have had a policy for my Test Pilot and liability for a year and wanted to ask if they would cancel my policy when I become eligible to fly under the new Sport Pilot Category. He says: The catagory will be announced at Oshkosh but still has a lot of refining to do and would not become effective any earlier than December or maybe later. However; he said they WILL insure me if the Pietenpol meets all the specs as a sport plane AND if I have no restrictions on my drivers lic. I'm feeling a little better after having talked to him. This information is aimed at those with deep concern and you healthful birds can just ignore this little piece of information.

Glad to hear from another Piet person in the great stet. Jim Cooper in Abbeville-Lafayette is building a GN. Great guy you should meet and visit if possible. I completed my first Piet last Sep and have about 36 hrs flying on it plus I started another Piet in Feb this year and am getting along pretty fast on it. Are you building or just planning to? Corky PS Give my regards to Judge Leon LeSurer and his wife Mary. Old, old friends. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:34:36 AM PST US From: Stefan Vorkoetter Subject: Pietenpol-List: Canadian Advanced Ultralight --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Stefan Vorkoetter Does anyone know if a Piet qualifies as an Advanced Ultralight (AUL) in Canada (similar in spirit to the proposed Sport Pilot category in the US, only we've already had it for years). If so, does anyone know if the inspection requirements (and costs) for a homebuilt AUL are any different than those of a homebuilt "airplane".

I no longer live in that area. I've made my home in Huntsville, AL for the last 40 years....but as you may know, one doesn't get that Bayou LaFouche water out of your veins. I have acquired two Piet projects during the past year. I got the first one in July, 2002, then about four months later, I ran into a real peach that met my set of requirements closer than the first one so I bought it too. I call the first one "Piet" and the second one "RePiet". I'm covering RePiet now (Stitts). It's A-powered, 19" wheels. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:14:47 PM PST US From: Dave and Connie Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol Spruce Kit for Sale --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Dave and Connie Yes, I know that there are no full kits. I have also figured out that I will not get to build a plane until I retire - at least 15 more years. Plus I am going to redo the fabric on the wings of my Taylorcraft this winter so that will take a lot of my time. I am going to offer it here first and if there are no bites it will go on either barnstormers or EBay. For Sale: Wood kit for Long Fuselage Pietenpol. Purchased in March of 1999 from Western Aircraft Supply. I have built 6 ribs since then. All other wood is still in the shipping tubes. This is all of the spruce to build a Pietenpol Aircamper. I will include the already built ribs and a rib jig. Full set of plans purchased from the Pietenpol family. Includes 3 piece wing and Corvair sheets. Reprint package of BPA newsletters from July 83 - 2nd Quarter 99. This is the set that Mike Bill put together a few years back. Wood is located in Retsof, NY which is about 5 miles from Geneseo (D52). I will not ship it and will not sell the plans or newletters seperately unless the wood is already gone. I will deliver within about 100 miles of Geneseo (US only). $1600 for all. If you think it is too much let me know what you think it is worth. Dave N36078 '41 BC-12-65
