Hope to se you at SNF again. Dick ----- Original Message ----- From: Cinda Gadd To: Pietenpol Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 11:12 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet for sale Hey Piet listers, I'm back on the list as we have our computer set up in the motor home parked in the hangar. Have about 1/2 my Piet parts in the hangar, the rest should be here soon. Will be back to work on the Piet after some electric and allot of plumbing in the hangar and building the apartment, so maybe next fall. Dick, Jack and Bert congratulations on your projects becoming aircraft. Oscar and Jack sorry to read about the off field landings, glad only airplanes were hurt. A guy on the field here is building a Bearhawk and he told me Bob Barrows the designer of that aircraft is selling his A model Peit. Short fuselage(don't know if he means flyer and gilder or 1934 plans), red and silver, no breaks, tail skid, wire wheels with straight axle, empty weight 630, the A has pressure lube and aluminum head. Aircraft has 80 hours. Barrows says it flys straight and good, my contact here whos judgment I trust says it looks like good workmanship. Barrows will deliver within 500 miles from Fincastle VA. $12,000.00 Telephone for Barrows 540 473-3661. Hales Landing the airpark I live at is now on the Cincinnati sectional, 12 miles south on Parkersburg WV. Once the Wx gets better Piet listers please stop by.

He was on a visit to another Aeronca pilot. in Sport Flyers airfield. I was there looking for Mr. Leonard Milholand (Legal Eagle ultralight) but he was out shopping, so I started walking around and stoped to talk and look in their hangar, I recieve a great explanation about the Aeroncas, then just like that, very kindly, like they know me for years, just invited me for a flight, the other pilot needed to build hours in his plane,.... Was a short flight from Sport Flyers (27XS) to Brenham Municipal (11R) and back, Great places, in Brenham the restaurant is decorated as in the 60's They all made me feel at home... Was a great flight, also the first time I saw a tornado damage line. This is something wonderfull about aviation comunity. Saludos Gary Gower. Do not Archive.

There is a place at the Gillespie County Airport in Fredricksburg (the Hill Country of Texas) where they have renovated an old hangar and turned it into a hotel and somewhat of a museum. It's called the "Hangar Hotel", info at http://www.swaviator.com/html/issueMJ04/HangarHotel.html , and could perhaps be persuaded to provide a special rate if a half-dozen or more TACOs were to book in an event with planes flying in. I believe they are trying to attract the "classic" crowd such as Piets anyway. It may warrant a field trip to investigate what they have in the beer cooler. I might have to persuade Sterling to help me investigate.

No surprises. The 20 minute trip around the pattern several times only a netted a couple of small adjustments. My friend Don Sirmons from Quincy, Florida had the honors. Don's got 1000's of hours in taildraggers and has test flown countless airplanes after build or re-build including another Aircamper last year. I know - it's like kissing your sister in a way BUT I feel better about doing it this way because he was able to make some observations that I would have probably been unable to process due to the high "pucker factor". He said it flies great, it's in trim, makes good power, and the CG is just right so I have just lowered my workload for the first time I fly it by having these things worked out. It's quite rewarding to complete it and see it fly. I'm sure I'll fly it this weekend after I make a few minor adjustments. To you guys building.... keep it up. It took me 9 years, 6 months and a couple of days to get here! Once it's done it's really cool to see it fly. I'll post some pictures to my website as soon as I can.

That was back in September, I was extremely busy then and didn't have time to check the plane out until winter. I wish I had done it then, I'd have it home by now! If you ever make it back down here we'll have to have a TACO get-together, and I'll be glad to take you up in the Piet! Its still nice here, temps were around 70* today...perfect Piet weather! As for the get-together, it sounds like fun and I'll plan on it. Hopefully I'll have the plane here in the next six weeks. In the meantime, I'd love to see any local Piets.

Sounds like it is a good airplane. However, he e-mailed me this morning and said that someone came out and looked at the plane Sunday, walked around it once, and said he'd take it pending a pre-buy. Still, no cash has traded hands as far as I know, but it might already be spoken for.
