I am working on one. I have not flown a Piet or Scout so I can't comment on
flying, but I do have some general comments.
I started with a fusalage already done. The previous owner built a Piet and
took the wings and tail off of this scout and put them on the Piet. Since
they are basically the same there is not a huge difference in the cost or
time to build the Piet vs. the Scout which is probably why there are tons of
Piets and only a few Scouts out there. A Scout is unique, but probably not
worth as much as a Piet. I don't really know for sure because I have never
found a flying Scout for sale.
Being a school I don't know what liability issues you have and if the plan
is for the plane to ever fly. The Scout should cost a lot less to insure
with no second seat. Of course, you won't be able to give rides to any of
the kids that helped build it. Being someone that has wanted to build and
fly a plane since I was in diapers I can tell you that the thought of
someday being able to fly in the plane they are working on is a big
motivation to a lot of kids.
Oh, and reach over and pat yourself on the back for what you are doing.
Wish you were my principal's neighbor when I was in school.

Hey all
My neighbor is principal of a local high school and she has been talking
to me about working with her JROTC students on building a plane at her
school. I pretty much have told her I would do it and am looking at what to
build. Having done 2 Piets already I need something different now. Has
anyone built a Skyscout? I have the Flying Glider manual plans. I would
order a full size set. I am interested in comments on how it flies and
comparisions and whatever.

Thanks Brian and Dale for the comments. I was thinking of the Sky Scout
in particular because it is a fiamiliar design to me. I also considered
a VP-2 and other simple designs. The deal I would make with the school
is to move my shop tools into the school workshop, I will supply all
materials and supplies and then the plane will be mine.
The school would have no expense except for a teacher from the Physics
class who would put it into the class schedule.

Hey Dick..... Every looked at any of the kit planes at Fisher Flying Products since
