This is just too hard to resist.
Okay, here goes:

Must have been Red Green that repaired that Cub.

Brown Bear Damaged Piper Cub N9368D - 2009
I got this this a.m. from my old friend Randy K. who flys for K-2
Aviation in Talkeetna, Alaska. A bear mauled this Cub while parked in
hunting camp in AK. The owner had not cleaned the plane since a fishing
trip so obviously the bear smelled it.
He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of thick
plastic wrap brought out to him, repaired the plane and flew it home. I
bet, from the look of the right side horizontal stabilizer, he still had
to hold a lot of left rudder and stick. Gutsy eh? cr

First off, can somebody send me or give me a link where I can see some pics
of Vi's new Piet?
Secondly, I was thinking that there is a passle of Ford Piets nearing
completion, some that I know about are; mine, Dan Helsper's, Vi's, I think
Gene Rambo is pretty far along.
I'm curious what others are in the works that I'm unaware of. How 'bout
everyone building a Ford Piet give a shout and an update about where you are
in the project.
I'm excited to see some new ones at Brodhead next year!

Model A
Both wings need varnish and a bit of sanding.
Just finished up final details on the instrument panel.
One wing needs LE ply
All major wood and metal work is done.
Some cowling around the engine remains to be fabricated.
Then ready for covering.
And some (ok, MANY) little details here and there.....
I was hoping for Brodhead next year (I'm keeping the faith!) but unless that lottery
thing comes through, it will probably be 2011 for me....
Jim in rainy Seattle....then home in a couple days to get back to work on fun stuff!

Jim,
What's that triangular cutout on the side panel of the fuselage? It looks
like you have two layers of ply on the side with a cutout on the outer
layer.

That's pretty, ain't it! :-)
I got that fuse from a fellow that had a pretty nasty ground loop and his cub type
gear folded up...and the wheel actually put a big hole in the side. So I
cut out the area and scabbed in a patch. The inside is one piece but thank goodness
the outer area will be covered!

Two idiots building Model A piets together - one in Puget Sound (Fuselages and
engines) the other in Vancouver, WA (Wings, Center sections and tails). Been
at it over 20-years and will probably be at it in 20 more but some day we will
shock the world and finish.

| Subject: | Markle's photos and Ford Piets |
Dear Jim,
You photo progress photos are REALLY encouraging however I too believe that you
will most likely be a 2011 Brodhead Newcomer because
unless you're going a really slip-shod job of fabric covering and rolling on some
of that Sherwin-Williams house latex paint with a roller,
you'll not be in attendance at Brodhead 2010.
It took me ONE ENTIRE YEAR to cover, paint, and assemble my plane to fly. Your
mileage may vary. I'm talking everything running, ready
for flight, control cables in, wings rigged, struts made, the whole thing was pre-assembled
(ala what the Tony Bingleis books suggest)
and it still took me ONE YEAR to cover, paint, and assemble. One year. I hope
some of you guys are faster than I was but of course I had
to satisfy Piet groupies, girlfriends, and neighbor ladies during the last year
of covering so don't go by my estimate. You may be much
more effiecient than I. Best wishes to all for those hoping to make it to Brodhead
2010 !
And most certainly I jest with some of this content.
Mike C. in Ohio

I'm new to the list,and don't have a Piet yet. I'm looking at a
project( actually 2 of them), but haven't made a commitment yet. My
brother has one, but hasn't flown it in a few years. I currently fly a
miniMAX.
The projects I'm looking at are set up for the Corvair. I'm having fun
reading some of the post and trying to learn more about this neat little
plane
