Yes, Sterling, I bought the fuse that you got from DJ.....Also have aquired lots of other Piet stuff, including several engine projects, etc. Just running out of gas....my wife wants me to reduce the inventory, so I am looking for one that is done....and done well.

I fear the GN-1 is going to whither away with time. The late designer's son has ceased distribution of the plans and there appears to be no indication when or even if he will start up again. If you already have plans go for it, but getting plans isn't possible now unless someone sells thiers.

What you will regret is wasting a lot of money and time building, and probably not finishing, the plane someone else wanted you to build. As DJ can attest, builders of the GN-1 are welcome on this list. Just remember to remind people your building a modified Grega and don't take everything you here personal. The thing that gets people all riled up is to call it a Pietenpol just call it by the right name and all will be good (mostly). We should all remember to call them Aircampers and GN-1's. I just pulled out my copy of the GN-1 plans and if your looking to build a steel fuselage these are the way to go. Much more detail then on the Aircamper drawings. As to talking some sense into you, it seems to me you already have enough sense to know what you want. The Aircamper is a fine plane, the GN-1 is a fine plane and your Ryan-Camper 1 will be a fine plane too. Just start building and stop worrying what others will say. It's your money, your time and your dream.

They are both such great aircraft. I am an ex Champ pilot, and that may be what's pulling me in this direction. It was at the Ohio Aeronca Aviator fly-in, when I saw my first Pietenpol (I think it was Michael's) and have just admired the design ever since. Chris, Great advice!
