It's always tempting to just buy a project instead of building and I believe you
could save some time and money doing it, however I would miss the fun of building
it and you never know about quality, plus the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

| Subject: | Jeff Faith's Pietenpol |
I wanted to thank Jeff Faith for letting me come look at his Pietenpol last week,
I should have wrote sooner but I could not remember my username so I had to
re-register on the list.
Jeff was very nice answering all my questions and he made me feel very welcome
and not quite so dumb. Jeff gave me lots of pointers and lots of good ideas.
Jeff's Pietenpol is very clean and his prop (that he made) is a work of art, it
should be in a gallery it is so beautiful.
Again Jeff Thanks so much for letting me come and look and I look forward to my
next visit.
Thanks
Walter Allen

[quote="boyerjrb(at)comcast.net"]Hi Adrian,
I am from Watertown SD just South of you. Used to fly my dad's Aeronca Champ on
skis all winter. It wasn't warm but bet it was warmer than flying a Piet in
the winter. Nice looking Piet and ski installation.
Cheers,
Jim B.

Thanks Jim
Been through Watertown numerous times, (at least down the interstate) I'm not sure
how flying the Piet in the winter will be but will have to pick a warmer day,
hopefully around the freezing mark, don't suppose it can be worst then driving
a snow machine at 80 mph. Did a lot of ski flying in C-IHJX which had a good
heater in it. Great way to get around to do some ice fishing where no one
else has been. That's my buddy showing off his fish.
Tough to beat a Champ or Cub on skis.
Do you own a Piet?

One thing I noticed while flying Scout in colder weather without
a cover on the front cockpit is that you get some serious air
into the rear cockpit from that front hole. One thing I would be
sure to do is to somehow make sure air can't come shooting up your
pants legs, because it will. If you don't have drawstrings or
can't tuck the legs of your pants into your boots, wrapping with
duct tape would be advised if you'll be in the air any length of
time.
Just my observation on the Texas version of "cold weather" flying.

Hi again Adrian,
I am really with it today;=C2-=C2- wanted to add more comments but sent
the message instead.
We still have our folks house on Lake Kampeska there in Water town and used
to ice fish every winter. The picture of your friend and the fish bring ba
ck lots of good memorys. Both planes on skis look good. Being so close to M
innesota we always had lots of lakes to land on and do touch and goes.
Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year Adrian.

Thanks for the Christmas wishes and I extend the same to you and your family.
FYI I have a Corvair engine that I acquired with a Piet project years ago of which
I have no use. It sits under my work bench in boxes collecting dust. If it
interests you, it has a bunch of new parts and a hub etc. Also have the engine
mount. It is basically a give away so if you happen to be up this way or someone
you know and you want it contact me offline

Hey Guys,
Thought I would send some updated pictures. I was able to get my center section
mounted. Also got the hardware on the wings. I will try and get it out in the
yard this week and get the wings on. You gotta love progress!

Looks great, Chuck!
Do you need a Technical Counselor inspection anytime soon? I need to get
over and see your project again.

| Subject: | building table with most miles on it |
Howdy, Pieters-
Two years ago at Christmas, my wife and I drove to Shreveport to collect some building
materials from Corky Corbett, who built NX41CC- the Piet that I now own
and fly. Among the materials that Corky relieved himself of was a building
table upon which he constructed two other Piet airframes (I believe). Anyway,
we took that table home to San Antonio with us along with enough raw stock to
construct a complete Piet fuselage with plywood sides, wing spars, and rib stock.
Last Saturday, Dec. 10, I loaded up that building table and all the raw stock along
with everything else in my hangar in San Antonio except for Scout (who will
have to wait till spring 2012 to fly back up here to Oregon with me) and spent
the last week driving from Texas to Oregon and just this weekend unloaded
everything and got the building table all set up, along with tools and materials.
I hereby lay claim to the Air Camper building table with the most miles on it:
2,540 miles. Picture attached, showing the table in its new location under my
temporary "aircraft factory". Very faintly visible on the plywood are the outlines,
in pencil, of the Improved Air Camper fuselage framing along with various
pencil notes that Corky has made. I'm happy to own this piece of Pietenpol
construction history.
