Your airplane is a work of art and that prop is a thing of beauty. I am sure your visit here in '08 was so mewhat of a help and also a blessing to all of us that got a chance to meet you in person at Brodhead. I still remember how much fun we had up in Oshk osh on our daily missions of searching out all the needed tidbits you had o n your want list. Buena suerte amigo. Dan Helsper Puryear, TN -----Original Message----- From: santiago morete Sent: Thu, Mar 14, 2013 8:36 pm Subject: Pietenpol-List: Project update Hi all! Last Tuesday we were visited by an engineer from the ANAC (something like y our FAA). Here in Argentina an inspection is requiered prior to cover (actu ally two) and finally after an entire day looking at the Piet and inspectin g every detail we were authorized to finish the plane. Fortunately erveryth ing is fine and we didn't have any observation made. We were able to assemble the plane, so here are some photos. Saludos Santiago ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:05:05 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Project update From: "AircamperN11MS" Santiago, What a beautiful airplane. I do have a question. It looks like your Cabane struts are wrapped with something. Is that something you can discuss or is it top secret? Does it make the plane Stealthy? Maybe I'm just seeing things that don't exist? I can't wait to see it finished. After flying a few A powered Piets, I wish I had one. It is a completely different feeling than flying a Cont. or Corvair powered plane. Nothing like a slow turning engine on a plane.

(GRC-RXD0)[Vantage Partners, LLC]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Santiago, Javier Cruz & this year---Simon and Susan McCormack from Tasmania, Australia Wonderful to see your progress Santiago and I wish our FAA here still had p re-cover inspections like they used to but like everything else...they have made cuts. I'm so thankful that we get to meet other Pietenpol builders at Brodhead fr om far, far away countries and that you take the huge amount of time and effort (and money) to travel here. We were fortunate enough to meet up with Javier Cruz a few years back from Mexico. Javier flew jets for the Mexican Government and was an enthusiastic Piet builder. Haven't heard from him in a few years but such a nice man. Simon and Susan will be here from Tasmania at Brodhead and Arthur Johnson ( now flying Corvair Piet) from Australia will also be attending Brodhead this summer. Arthur rode with a buddy halfw ay around the planet without much sleep on airliners to be at Brodhead a few years back and will be in attendance a gain this summer.

When It got good and cold that winter the cloth contracted and "bent" some of the frame. May just be an old wives tale.
