    Enough already, I get the message and will go spend an hour in the aircraft factory tonight. I was getting a little bad about putting off production. First, family visited for the weekend. Then my wife and granddaughter had to sell things at the school sporting events, then I had to go get the car's tags reregistered, then, then I had several long days at work, then.. then ... then..... It has been a week since I touched the Piet. Last night I read more "perserverance" emails and then watched some first flight videos. Now I am fired up again.

    1999 - I was hopping TV channels and I happened upon a recap of EAA airventure and a segment on Mike Cuys' award winning airplane. "I gotta get one of those" I said. Ordered plans immediately. In 2005 or so, I built some tail feathers. Life altering event in 2010 convinced me it was time to commit to the project, and I did. Started in earnest Oct 16 2010 with the Corvair engine which ran 368 days after my first Corvair College. Started building the Piet August 2011. I do a little every day or say when Im home. I'm having a blast! -------- Bob 'Early Builder' Dewenter Dayton OH Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=411304#411304

    RE-PIET was started by an older gent in the late eighties I think. He puttered on it in Florida during the winters up until 2000 when he got sick. I bought it in 2002 with much of the basic woodwork done (or so I believed.). I finished it in 2009 when it had it's "incident" and the spent the next 2.5 years rebuilding it. First flew again August of 12. Douwe

    Y'all are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. My hat's off to all of you that have finished building, or are close to finishing, their own Air Campers. If you missed it, the latest issue of the Experimenter has a 2 page spread on the 2013 EAA Airventure Perseverance Awards: 9 planes, 8 are RVs, 4 were built in under 2 years. That's not exactly a display of "perseverance" in my opinion. I'm not belittling those builder's efforts and accomplishments - building and flying *any* airplane is a monumental achievement - I'm just saying that the builders in this group show more perseverance than those insert-tab-A-into-slot-B builders and are far more deserving of a Perseverance Award. Cheers! Dan

    Hi MIke, I always liked seeing the pictures of your building your Piet in the house. We have a dining room I keep teasing my wife that would make a perfect mac hine shop area so I wouldn't have to work in my cold garage in the winter. So far though I'm still working in the garage! Popcorn is good to eat while building; any spillage is just additional bouy ancy for those over water flights. cheers, Jim B. =C2-

    Subject: shipping spruce
    From: "aviken" <aviken@windstream.net>
    I just purchased some spruce spar boards for two sets of wings and also the wood for the the tail surfaces. I purchased this from an individual who had chosen not to build . The wood is In Rockingham North Carolina, and I need to get to Arkansas. Since it is 15 feet long shipping is expensive as you all know... So far the cheapest Quote I have is just under 300 dollars from FedEx but the owner will have to take it to a business location for pick up. Does anyone have any cheaper suggestions?

    Aviken, This may not be what you want to hear but I'd be inclined to drive from Arkansas to North Carolina to pickup the wood myself. Since you are buying it from a private individual where returns might be impossible, this would give you a chance to look each piece over carefully before handing over the money. You might even want to download from Chris Tracey's westcoastpiet website, the information for grading spar material. That way, you can reassure yourself that it really is appropriate for airplane use.

    youship.com or something... Google "ltl" which means "less than load" for places that'll quote you something cheaper than that likely. A buddy of mine was quoted $1500 to ship some 4x8 sheets of honeycomb, but got them shipped for a couple hunnert using youship (or who ever they were, should be evident). And that was from CA to GA. Antique tractor website forums usually have opportunity haul discussion areas that can be helpful. Probably the BEST underground railroad is the old woodworking machine group (owwm.org). You'll have to join (no spam, it's safe) to get access to the opportunity haul forum called "rucker's rodeo". It's a VERY TIGHTLY run bulletin board, pretend it's some woodworking machine part... like rip fence rails or something similarly sized or you'll get bounced off. Once you make contact with someone directly, it won't be a big deal. For example, I'll be running from Chatt to Oshkosh round trip in the next couple weeks and will make a post there that I'll have room available if someone needs a machine moved... Or a wing, or motor, whatever. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=411358#411358
