Thanks for the kind words Dan. Sure I'm proud of my boys but sometimes
it's hard not to get a little jealous. For instance, when Matt was
working on
his Long EZ he had after hours access to all the tools and tooling at
Scaled Composites plus a lot of personalized assistance from guys like
Mike Melville. Burt even stopped by from time to time to "see how
you're
messing up my design." Must be tough! My Piet, on the other hand, is
happening in a 12' x 20' storage shed and my most exotic tool is a
homemade foam cutter. (I shouldn't even mention that as no one in their
right mind puts fiberglass on an Air Camper do they?)
Don't let my whining wear you down though. I have a great bunch of guys
to call on in my EAA chapter and it is a "ton of fun" working on this
project.
My Piet'l surly be faster than that Long EZ anyway.

MessageSpeaking of SS II, take a look at the simulated flight video on this
EAA web site. It is an excellent video. There are a lot of other good
videos there including an 8 minute video on 70 years of the Piet that I have
not had a chance to look at yet.
