Let's never forget what a fantastic resource this group is. I appreciate everybody who cares to take the time and answer/discuss questions that come up, but I am especially appreciative of those who have finished building (some years back), yet still volunteer their time patiently helping and encouraging those still building, or even daydreaming (answering the same questions year after year). I view this as a service to the legacy of this legendary aircraft and its designer. Let's all pitch in when areas in which we are experienced are discussed, and not stop once we're flying. Thanks again!

There cannot be a better plane-building group on the Internet. The experienced hands are both gifted and generous with their time. And as hard as it is to believe, the Pietenpol guys are even better in person. Thanks to you all. Bernard P. would be proud to see it all work this well.
