If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least 0 or 0 worth
of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a subscription
to some lame magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at
least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that same amount
and get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses?
Come to think of it, you do...
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support YOUR
Lists?
Contribution Page:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Again, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has made a Contribution thus far
during this year's List Fund Raiser!! These Lists are made possible exclusively
through YOUR generosity!!
Thank you for your support!

Ben,
There's a really nice O-200 piet currently up for sale on Barnstormers.
http://www.barnstormers.com/cat.php?PHPSESSID=b57446cc465a6aeefe8ef51821bb0929
Get a partner to share the cost of the bird and the hangar rent. You could
be flying RIGHT away!

Ben, here's an idea for you. Pietenpoler Carl Vought died recently and left
two very nice Piet projects uncompleted, both for sale. Buy one and you're
75% on the way to flying but can still enjoy completing the construction
process on an above-average workmanship project.
There is info available on the person who is handling inquiries on the
projects and materials for Carl's widow, Barbara. The projects are in
northern Alabama.

Well I had to say something......plus hopefully start some controversy
to get the list talking again ! :)))
Ben says that he wants to fly right now and I think we can all relate to
that. Many of us can relate to that desire from when we were very
young---in my case around 6 years old. I flew kites, rubber band
models, control line Cox models, Estes rockets, our parents large patio
umbrella off the roof of our garage when they weren't home and of course
blowing up old airplane models with firecrackers......but it took
me until I was 29 years old before I had enough money to put down $
3,500 on 1/2 ownership in an Aeronca Champ. Now 1/2 ownership
in a Champ is about $ 12,500 so I can understand where Ben is coming
from so do the decent thing and BEG for a ride or hunt around
and find a CFI that will let you ride with him in the back seat while he
is giving lessons in a 172. There are ways to fly now, cheap..but
you have to be a scrapper and be resourceful---just like when you build
a non-kit airplane like a Pietenpol.

but in 2000 I bought an N3 pup for 9000$ then the Piet came up for sale
for 10,000$.I told my wife,listen it's too good a deal to pass up.She's

Hi all,
There is a guy in our local EAA chapter that just finished a beautiful
Pietenpol. He hadn't flown in a long time and is now taking some
lessons with another club member in a J-3. His plane has flown a couple
of times, but not with him at the controls. I'm still a few years away
from that moment, but I decided that I didn't want to have to stand on
the side of the runway while a friend of mine did the first flight.
Another club member is retiring from flying and had an old Corben Baby
Ace for sale at a great price. Another club member is in the process of
getting me a taildragger endorsement and some currency so I can get some
liability insurance. I have a Private ticket, and am going to fly sport
pilot. If all goes well, I should have the airplane in my posession in
a few weeks, and be ready to fly the Fly Baby in January of February.
It has a Continental A75 with about 100 hours SMOH, 78/80 compression on
all 4 cylinders and a fresh annual. It isn't much to look at, but its
open cockpit and probably will fly very similar to a Piet. Maybe I just
got lucky, but I would suggest joining your local EAA chapter, hang out
at the local airport as much as you have time, andget all the building
advice you can from all the members and the EAA Tech counselors ( my
tech advisor was the one that knew about the plane for sale)
Building a Pietenpol is a lot of fun, but not the cheapest or fastest
way to get in the air, although you can spread the payments out over
5-10 years if you need to!

I guess I just don't understand.... How about getting the money to fly
the old fashion way? Get a second job and save til you have the money.
Question. If you don't have the money (or can't earn it) how are you
going to pay for the Hanger, the gas and up keep? I don't want to be
negative but let's be honest. It costs a lot to fly and the money has
to come from some where. Buying the plane is only one part of
ownership.
My wife and my motto is "If you don't dream, dreams can't come true."
We've done a lot of crazy things, such as cruising and living on a sail
boat for 12 years in the Pacific. A dream come true? Yes, but not
without one hell of a lot of work, doing a whole bunch of job I didn't
want to do. It sure was worth it. I'm retired now but still work one
day a week, just so I can keep flying. Ain't no one else going to do it
for me.

Here is my little insignificant story.
I started a Piet about 10 or 12 years ago at my home in PA. When I opened a
shop in SC, I left the Piet parts in PA and started a miniMAX at my new place
in Myrtle Beach. I picked that design because it was wood, easy to build and
would give me some building experience. I even milled all my own wood for
it. I was about 95% done when I had to sell the Max.
Meanwhile, I moved back to PA and started right in with procuring stuff
for the Piet. But in the mean time, I really wanted to get in the
air...cheaply. Almost by accident, while checking out Barnstormers, I hit on the
powered
parachute section. I saw one for $4,900.00, and bought it. I learned to fly
it in about an hour and am having a blast. Sure, it is limited on what it can
do, but what the heck...I'm in the air!

I was going to make a similar suggestion, you don't have to buy an old
certified aircraft to fly. If I wanted to have something to fly ASAP and as
cheap as possible while I built my Piet I would buy a used PPC as you
mentioned. No hanger rent (fits in the back of a pickup truck), maintainence
as cheap as it gets, and a couple hundred bucks to learn to fly the thing
versus $3500 for a Sport Pilot or $7000 for a Private Pilot license. True
its not a 'real' airplane but it still get you off the ground. If I wanted
something closer to a 'real' airplane and could afford more I would look for
a used single place ultralight like a CGS Hawk or a Kolb (with folding wings
so it will fit in my garage, wait a minute, theirs no room in my garage, I'm
building my Piet in there, never mind, have to rent a hanger), no stinkin
license required.

We have a thing up here in Canada called the Quebec garage.It doesn't
cost much.Its made out of an aluminum frame and covered in plastic or
tarp.Just right for a small plane with fold up wings.If you took the
wings off a Piet it would fit right in there and you could put the wings
on either side leaning up against the walls.A lot of guys up here use
them right outside their garage because,yes the garage is filled with
other goodies like snow blowers and rv's and planes being built and on
it goes.

Here is my little insignificant story.
I started a Piet about 10 or 12 years ago at my home in PA. When I
opened a shop in SC, I left the Piet parts in PA and started a miniMAX
at my new place in Myrtle Beach. I picked that design because it was
wood, easy to build and would give me some building experience. I even
milled all my own wood for it. I was about 95% done when I had to sell
the Max.
Meanwhile, I moved back to PA and started right in with procuring
stuff for the Piet. But in the mean time, I really wanted to get in the
air...cheaply. Almost by accident, while checking out Barnstormers, I
hit on the powered parachute section. I saw one for $4,900.00, and
bought it. I learned to fly it in about an hour and am having a blast.
Sure, it is limited on what it can do, but what the heck...I'm in the
air!

I thought of that but in a way she helps me get into the air money wise
and I'm not telling her or she will leave.

Mine is on a 3 wheeled cart, with a steering bar, instrument panel and other
little bells and whistles. Even came with 2 helmets, GPS, bazillion channel
transceiver, intercom and a trailer to haul it!

Ron,
Your the kinda of guy I have a great respect for. You do what what you
have to do. I think flying a powered parachute would be a blast. As
long as your flying,, who cares what your flying? I flew ultralights
for many years and had a blast and as soon as I can afford it I will buy
another one to put next to my Piet (and it just might be a powered
parachute)

John:
We are about 100 miles west of St. Louis on the Missouri river at Jefferson
City, the capital of MO.
As to the engine I have found that a also have a mag problem. The mag is one
of the old 4000 series that they just through way. There was never any
repair parts made for them. But we have modified the housing to make it
bigger for the new style condenser, and have just completed that so we
should be able to install the mag with in a couple of weeks and start taxi
tests.

Hey Mike C
How's this for being resourceful, you have indicated that you are
getting too soft in your old age to fly your world famous Piet an
unimaginable 6 hours to Brodhead. Therefore, I hereby volunteer to fly
it there for you. Then you can drive there in your air-conditioned soft
seated hermetically sealed car. When you arrive (better give me a coupe
days head start) your plane will be waiting for you to give rides and
show it off to us lesser human beings still building. Following all
your fun and frivolity, I will fly it back and tuck it in your hanger
where it will await your next flight. I'm sure my 12hr of Citabra time
12 years ago (good grief has it been that long) is still fresh in my
mind. And lest we not forget I have 1 hour and 3, count them 3 landings
in a Stearman, with no damage to the plane I might add. Oh sure there
was an instructor up front but he was only there for insurance purposes,
right. Plus I have 15 min in the front seat of a Jenny, now that should
make me well qualified as a ferry pilot.
I tried the same logic on the guy with the Jenny seen at Brodhead a few
years ago, he chose to truck it back there. Don't know why he didn't
take me up on the offer? I said I would pay my own room and board. He
did feel sorry for me and gave me a ride in it.
