Keep plug'n on the ole' Piet. >You'll get er done. 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.

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.
