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.

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.

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.
