Hi All,
Now in a career transition from self employed and gainfully employed, with a
good company. I have 31 locations scattered around the US to visit from time
to time. The after work hours are pretty much open times form me exclusive of
the obligatory business dinner and entertainment component. During those
travels I would like to combine my love of flying with my interest in the Piet
experience to visit some of the builders in process and some of the flying Piets.
I
am hoping to get some great pics, better info that I can apply to the
construction on my own Piet.
I got the bug, the plans and the desire, all I need now is the ambition, the
ideas and the skill to build one. Being somewhat larger in size than Bernard I
really need to see the fus modifications to widen and elongate mine. I am
looking for all the help and assistance available form the experts. I plan to
purchase the Tony books also but thought I would couple the collective experience
and ac views and pics with the book.
I really want to build a great Piet, one that will accommodate my desire to
return to the golden age of Aviation. I look forward to your information of
list or what ever you would be comfortable in sharing. Away from home, there is
nothing better than an evening at the hangar.
Regards,
John

John, good luck with the project. If you haven't gotten them yet, Chuck
Gantzer has a couple DVD's of his Pietenpol available, and another fellow who's
name escapes me has at least one available too. If those videos don't get you
revved up...nothing will. I'm currently building a Mustang II, and can't wait
to get her flying so I can start on a Pietenpol.
On a side note, if you wanted to buy a Pietenpol, there was a note on
the forum a few days ago about a Pietenpol that only has 3 hours TT, and is
part of an estate being sold. Asking price was around $10,000. If memory serves
it has a Model A engine. Good luck with the job, and your Pietenpol!

Hello John
If one of your business destinations is near Denver drop me a line and stop
in for a beer and a look at my project. I am in Castle Rock and little South
of Denver. And don't worry about being larger than Mr. Pietenpol we have a
lot of super-sized builders out there. Many of us have widened the fuselage
and leaned our pilot seats back a bit to make things more comfortable (like
me). Order a plan set and one or both of Mike and Chucks Piet VCR tapes/DVDs
and you can really start dreaming about it.

Yes its just pre-fit, I haven't even glued the side ply and firewall on yet.
But thank you for vigilance, I welcome your inputs any time.
