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.

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! -----Original Message----- >From: Ken Howe >Sent: Oct 15, 2009 10:18 AM >To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com >Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: how many Ford piets are being built? > > > >Jim, > >What's that triangular cutout on the side panel of the fuselage?

(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC Aerospace Corporation]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: 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.

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.
