Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane

Subject: | Re: airplane building and mental hospitals |
The best I have gotten so far has been from one of my plant managers. A Jamaican
man at our City of Industry plant who asked " do you have some sort of a death
wish, mon?". All the rest have been rather subdued, you're building an airplane?
Yes I am, oh that's nice, what kind? A Pietenpol, ohhhhh, what's that one
of them radio model things? No, its a 2 place open cockpit aircraft, oh that's
nice.....where are you building it? In my basement, a real airplane in your
basement...... how are you going to get it out? I am gonna fly it out, oh I see,
huh?
Makes for interesting conversation especially the facial expressions that all result
in the, this guy is some kind of a nut.
I suppose!

I think you're right Chris Tracy about the mental hospital thing when people hear
you are building
an airplane but they upgrade you to looney tunes and permanent insanity when you
tell them that in
addition to building you plan on FLYING it. So much for ignorant bystanders.

Truly entertaining facial expressions were seen when people would ask my Dad where
he was building his Tailwind and get the matter-of-fact reply, "In the basement
of my funeral home."

One you can fly? By yourself?
Let me know when the maiden voyage is. We want to see that one, maybe shoot some
video might as well take advantage of the event or outcome.
That came from my buddies I worked with in the tv and production business, always
interested in some great B role.

You think you learned a bit about "tin bending" making that, just wait till

Pieters,
I reserved this N number some time ago. Paperwork that allows us to
display it finally came in this week. Imagine announcing with this
number in the pattern. Pretty cool, huh?
The sticky letters are temporary. We're open to suggestions about fun
ways to display it. Giant "EE" on the tail? Wing? Fuselage?
Have a good week,
Jeff

Actually, being citizens of a Commonwealth nation makes you full-
blown Southern Sympathizers. That's why it's so much warmer there in
BC than here in wonderful, snowy O-Hi-O. Not only did I marry a
Damnyankee woman too, I followed her back Nawth. You never can tell
the effect those gals are gonna have, even Corky thinks I'm nuts :).

Sometimes when I see pictures of different peoples' projects
I get a bit sad or I feel like I've cut into the line and not paid
my dues to get in to the world of Pietenpols. I bought my
Piet already complete and flying and although I've done plenty
of rebuild and modification to it=2C I know I'm not the original
builder and I can't really swagger in to Brodhead like the rest
of you 100% scratch builders.
I really admire all the excellent work that you folks do on your
airplanes and I know it brings you a great deal of satisfaction.
Just going out to the airport every weekend and working at
maintaining and tweaking my Piet gives me more satisfaction
than almost anything else I do all week long at my job and at
home. These last few weekends I've been working on squawks
that came up during annual condition inspection and it's more
fun working on those than anything I can think of at work or
at home. Redoing AN hardware to get it just a bit more correct=2C
retensioning conrol cables and safetying turnbuckles=2C adjusting
tracking on the prop=2C cleaning plugs=2C scratching my head on
how to run a new tach cable without removing this cowling or
that one=2C lubing pulleys and pivots=2C you name it.
It's really too bad we can't get paid for working on our airplanes=2C
isn't it? We'd be millionaires and all they'd have to pay us is a
few bucks and we'd be happy!

Built or bought, they are just as much fun to fly.
Please don't suggest any dollar value on the satisfaction of flying
your Piet, some idiot will want to find a way to tax the perceived
value.
