Curtis,
Jeff Hill, up in The Colony area, was building two Piets up at Tailwind (I think
that's the name of the airport)...excellent craftsman and would be a good one
to visit...but he may have finished them by now....he was moving right along
and I haven't seen him in several years.
I sent him a message to see what's up and will forward whatever I hear back....

I realize that this isn't strictly Pietenpol related, but it is about
airplanes and old airplanes, so maybe you'll let me slide a bit.
Rob Bach is having an art show at Fermilab from 9/10 through 11/10
showcasing his photos of airplanes. The reception is on 9/17 from 5-7PM
and it's open to the public (that means you).
Here's a sampling of what he's displaying:

If you have any questions about attending, feel free to contact me offlist.
Hope to see you there,

Jim,
Thanks for checking in on another builder close to me. Next week I'm making a
road trip to Austin to see Kevin Purtee and Tim Willis to steal some trade secrets.
The Colony is a lot closer and I could see Jeff's planes very easily.
Thanks again,
Curtis

Hi Chad,
There are 2 genuine Piets for sale on barnstormers.com - one's powered
by a Ford Model B and the other is powered by a Ford Model A.
There's also a GN-1 on there that is a project plane - the engine would
have to be torn down and magnafluxed (one or two prop strikes occurred
in the recent past) as well as a bunch of fuselage work needs to be done.
And there's another one that is called a Pietenpol, but it just... ain't.
I think there's another Ford Model A powered one in DeKalb, IL that
might still be for sale.
Where are you located?
Dan

.used to be a sky scout on there too. I kinda had my eye on it, but never
could find the extra dough to buy it. It was owned by a fellow in Florida I
think named Brian Kraut (ya'll correct me) It was a completed plane, that I
think had some issues with the 2.2 Chrysler engine installed. Asking price
was like $3700 I think.

That GN-1's a gem; or it's owner, rather. The guy bought it in April '09,
and had a "hard landing" in July of that year where he damaged the landing
gear, both struts on the right side, cowling, prop, and a wheel. He rebuilds
it over the winter and puts it back together this spring, and he promptly
hits a tree with the left wing while taxiing around. Good lord....

Thanks for the replies guys. I am in ky.. I saw those on barnstormers. I have searched
the net high and low.. I found a "project" for 6k that had a cont a65
on it but has been setting unused for at least 10 years.. I personally am scared
of those being more trouble and money than just building one.. I would also
rather have an a65-0200 rather than the model a engine.. Saw the bumped up one
on barnstormers. Man that guy has had bad luck.. [Laughing] Thanks!

If that is clever field, it's a very old picture, the hangar has not

You are close, Adrian... S4S means Surfaced 4 Sides. The surfacing is normally
done with planers and edgers, not sanding machines. Planers and edgers use
cutting blades which provide a suitable surface finish and last a lot longer in
a production setting than abrasives would, and the wood does not need to be
as smooth as if it were sanded. Interior grade and aircraft grade plywood ARE
sanded, though.

| Subject: | Re: Looking for a piet |
I think some engine guru told me the "exhaust ontop" version is actually a Cont
A-50(?)..which is basically an A-65, but w/exhaust ports ontop. I was going to
go up and buy this one, until I bought the GN-1 in FL w/out an engine. I thought
it'd be fun for me to have somewhat of a project (but not too much of a project),
rather than buying a flying one. It is in the for sale section in back
of April BPA mag. Super nice older fella that owns it. He doesn't do e-mail,
which is probably why he still has it. He did "snail-mail" me some pic's of it
and it has two doors on right side. Restored '07.. yes, that is when he flew
it to New Phila Arprt for b-fast he told me. he keeps it at his own grass strip
nearby(uncharted)... I last spoke to him about 5 weeks ago.. I would think
that he still has it. He was axing $10.5k .. maybe you can talk him down 6 or
8k.. who knows.. Larry

I'm settled in a little Texas hick town on East side of Dallas called "Garland"(like
judy).. well, I guess it's more like a Big hick town(the 'one headlight
capital' of the world). I just acquired a GN-1 sans motor, but will have one in
a couple of weeks. It isn't quite flyable yet, but ur welcome to come "check
out" in it when I get her airborn... Larry

Thanks for your reply. It's good information to have and I'll be adding up the
lengths of wood for my order which will be placed tomorrow. It's a pretty exciting
process, right from the beginning. Thanks again for your help. I'll accept
any other advice you might have.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Builder List
I was curious if anyone has a recent list of builders. My airplane is has
been slow to start this summer with the Texas heat, but I want to keep up my
enthusiasm to get my bird flying. I do travel quite a bit around the
country and would love to see some "Piets in progress". If anyone has a
list, could you please e-mail it to me or post it here. Thanks!
