John PS: Do you want to fly back together? ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Eldredge To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 1:54 PM Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Oshkosh-Brodhead 75 years! So I've contacted EAA to check about a mass arrival of Piets to Airventure. Is there any interest in going. I'm trying to get an estimate of the number of Piets that might attend. Please reply to the list if your interested. Steve E From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Steve Eldredge Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 10:33 AM To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Oshkosh-Brodhead 75 years! Anyone else excited? The 70th anniversary was a blast. We flew from Brodhead to Hampton (?), then as a mass gaggle to Oshkosh for a few days. We were all treated like royalty parked together, and watched Mike C get to showcase his plane. Together with Brodhead is was a very memorable occasion flying along with 18 -20 others on a short cross country flight. I just called EAA to see if there has been any arrangements begun if I happened to miss it. Is there any interest out there is I were to volunteer to arrange something? I suppose I should call Bill Rewey, since he seemed to be the flight leader last time.

If not I'll head back home after Brodhead. It's just too expensive and expansive to be much fun for me. If you're going to try to arrange something, maybe we could all park next to the Theater in the Woods where there is some shade and less tendency for the multitudes to lean on our planes to watch the airshow. I tried (not very hard, though) to get something going with EAA and there didn't seem to be a whole lot of interest. As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see that the SAA fly-in is more the kind of grass-roots event that Piets would find a home at and will become the pre-emanate fly-in for us in the years to come. OSH is still great but fast glass and warbirds seem to be the direction there. Count me in for the gaggle to OSH, but only if there is a gaggle!

Yours is the first response to my inquiry. I'm starting to get a little disenchanted with the Piet forum. This bird is coming up on it's 75th birthday and I can't believe there hasn't been a up to date hardware list established long ago. I'd rather take a beating than attempt to dig thru BHP's plans with the part numbers he used. I'm going to email Mike C. off forum just for grins and see what his response is.

I don't know of two Piets built exactly alike anyway. Most people make the fittings a little longer so a bolt can be put in after the plane is assembled, etc. Our hardware list is very different from the plans as we are building steel fuselages. The best thing to do is go thru the plans and try to add up the amount of steel you think you will need and try to order stock sizes like 18x24 or 24 x 48, etc. Don't worry, you will need even more before you are finished. Do pay attention to the grain of the steel on bent pieces. Best advise is to start building......Its kinda funny how things start to fall in place when you are ready for them.

Kind of like requesting a carpenters group of how many nails, and what size is required to build a Cape Cod house, so the nails can be bought convieniently up front. Not being a wise guy, just did like most, and had Home Depot hardware containers with all the compartments for hardware and tried to keep it supplied most of the time, till the plane was done Wood used, and ply used, and brackets used, all vary a little, and since AN hardware comes in 1/8" incriments, there would be a lot of room for error. : ) walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn & Doris Knoll To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2004 8:53 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet Hardware Hi Alex, I would love to share any information if I had received any.
