Way to go, Dick N. It CAN be done, despite the jaw flappers and
procrastinators out there. More building, less pondering.
Really happy for you man !

Well done Dick,
Just the right time of the seasons to have a new bird grace the skies.
Best wishes during the test period.

Gar Williams has an A model Piet for sale located at Brodhead.
http://www.barnstormers.com/cat.php <http://www.barnstormers.com/cat.php>
I believe this is the red and cream Piet that Gary Karner and Mehlen Smith
owned for several years, if so the price seems reasonable. This Piet has a
tail wheel but no breaks. Hate to see it leave Brodhead.

Group--- Bob Siebert's Piet is not listed at $12,000 BUT $12,500. Thanks
to a sharp-eyed lister who caught that error.
Oh......and one thing Bob forgot to mention is that his Piet has air
conditioning:)

I worked the rest of the squawks off on Fri,Sat & Sunday. Sunday evening, a
little over an hour before sunset, I became re-united with my old friend.
After the mag drop, and run - up, we lined up on 16 (hard surface), eased in to
full power, some forward stick pressure, little back & forth just as the tail
was coming up, glance oil pressure, temp, airspeed shoots from 20 to 40 in a
couple of seconds, neutral pressure on the stick, then just a little bit of back
pressure, and we're airborne !! We haven't been in the air since Jan 15.
Without skipping a beat, the ol' Continental was thumping out a healthy 2000
rpm, with a conservative airspeed of 50 mph. Climb straight out departure to 300
ft agl, raise the right wingtip to check for traffic, drop the nose slightly
to pick up speed for a 30 degree bank right turn to crosswind. Oops...keep
that ball in the middle !! That thing was everywhere but in the middle for the
first few minutes !! Level the wings just long enough to see downwind was
clear, and roll right...ball stayed in the middle that time. It's like she just
needed a minute or two to remember how to stay in coordinated flight. Still
at full power, climbing through 500 agl, pull power to 1900 rpm, for 62 mph.
The tach reads 100 rpm low, and the ASI reads almost 10 mph low. Keep downwind
just a little over 1/4 mile from the runway. Oil temp is just over 120
degrees now, and pressure never leaves 35 psi. Abeam landing point on the turf
runway, at 600 agl, pull power to 1500 rpm, and the nose just knows to drop.
Maintain 60 mph through base, level wing to check runway condition and if any
bogies are on long final...all clear. Roll right to final, but keep the nose
pointed to the left, and add in some right aileron, pull power to 1000 rpm, and
slip 'er in on final, maintaining 60 mph indicated by pushing the nose down.
We like to keep a lot of altitude on final, just in case that trusty ol'
Continental decides to hiccup. Cross the numbers, and the slip comes out, and
pull
power to idle and she settles in to ground effect for just a second or two.
Wind noise is dramatically reduced, and controls are mushy but very effective.
Hold it off...Hold 'er off, aahh yessss, the old one small bounce three point
landing. Immediately add full power, dance on the rudder to keep 'er
straight, and almost immediately we're airborne again. Did some landings at a
local
grass strip, then 8 miles south to check out a grass fire, then buzz my
buddy's house a couple of times, then back to Benton for a couple of more landings.
Ah, yesss...Life Is Good !!
