Having talked to both these guys about 1st flights, I promise you they are approaching
the events patiently and with appropriate due-diligence.
They'll go when they've got their stuff together, to their credit.
Of course, I want them to go fly, too:).

this little shop ??
i work on corporate jets for a living... this hangar will hold a citation..a G4
and a falcon 2000 with plenty of room for the piet..
i'm lucky enough to be able to keep my plane in the hangar.. and build it here...part
of the reason its gone together fast.... its accessible
i made a stencil for the numbers based on the info on the Westcoastpiet site
By the way... this is all that crazy latex paint
jeff
http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Construction/Markings%20pg%202.pdf
i thought i was going to use the outline of the "8" but it was eaiser to use the
"8" that i cut out..... traced with a pencil and the painted with a foam brush..
30" tall 20" wide and 5" width on the letters and numbers

In typical Pietenpol fashion, the taxi tests continue at slow and careful
rate.
Phase 1 taxi was for 2 hrs at 5mph. A slight problem developed with the tail
wheel, which was easily remedied by a different washer arrangement (Curt - a
lot of the vibration is now gone!).
Today began Phase 2 - two hours at 10-15mph. For a passenger, I had the
esteemed Chris Tracy. Airport visitor traffic was heavy, making any work
difficult. Brakes are ineffectual, but Dan Helsper led me to some nice brake
linings that will need to be riveted on before further taxi. Curt Merdan had
suggested that my master switch appeared vulnerable, and, sure enough, I
must have bumped it with my knee the last time I got out.this morning,
switch was ON and battery was dead. I put the charger on for a few hours
before Chris showed up, but it was only enough to get a little juice back in
the battery.had to hand prop my Corvair! Nice to know that it's possible.
For me, this time is proving valuable.

Gary,
Good to hear of your progress. As you well know, the punch list will go on
for some time, adding at the top and scratching off at the bottom. This is
to be expected with a custom-built "anything". After two years, I finally f
eel like I have a viable airplane with many of the major problems solved. W
ith luck, yours will be minor. Keep plodding along..............

Mark ,
One of the airport bums (I get to say that now, 'cuz I'm one) that stopped
by today, asked if we ever had an annual get-together in California. Even
though he doesn't have a Piet, he'd like to join us where-ever we are. I'd
love for The Word to spread about Charlie's wing-ding!
Today was the first time that Chris sat in a moving Pietenpol!! While
sitting in front of me, I shot him in the butt with some Pietenpol lemonade!
Hopefully, he'll get back to it, though he definitely has his hands full
with work and family...

Orrin, I meant to share this with you a few weeks ago, but I'm just now getting
around to it. Here is a picture of some of your family when they visited my
hangar last winter. You probably already know, but for the sake of other readers,
they are (L to R)... Bernice Hoopman (Finke) - daughter of Orrin C., John
Finke - son of Don, Cathy Ryan - daughter of Bernice and John and Orrin's granddaughter,
and the blonde girl in the back is Angie Hyatt - daughter of Kathy
Ryan and Orrin's great granddaughter. She is surrounded by her family... I'm
sorry, I forget their names. Kathy and Angie live here in Oklahoma while Bernice
and John still live in Cherry Grove.
Hope you enjoy the photo!

A bunyip will only be useful for setting dihedral if your shop/hangar floor is
dead-flat and level. If the floor has even a slight pitch or slant to it, you
could end up with some weird rigging issues. Your fuselage could be sitting
at the same angle as the floor, but your wingtips will be level with each other.
The stretched string is probably better suited for this job.

Gary's plane looks fantastic and he is very popular at the airport with lots

but I would expect that from a car engine.
