It was a show and tell meeting for the Piets. It was about a 1.5 hour flight each way for me with good weather both ways. Their piet looks outstanding. They are currently waiting for an FAA inspection while tying up some loose ends on the plane. I am very impressed. If you remember, this is the plane they brought to Brodhead a few years ago. Attached are three pics. I apologize ahead of time if the sizing is incorrect. The Blue and Silver plane is theirs. I'll try and keep the list updated as progress moves on. -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372264#372264 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/fvpietimg_0422_197.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/fvpietimg_0421_157.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/fvpietimg_0420_113.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:16:05 AM PST US From: Dan Yocum Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: LATEX PRIMER?
