    Hello good Piet-ple, OK, that's an Apollo 11 quote but it seems appropriate...! Assembled all the major structural components for the first time yesterday. Now only a couple more years to go...!!!! I had three friends help with the wing panels and bolts - in 35 degree weather - THANK YOU to (L-R) Mike, Ron and Brian.

    Jim, I sure enjoyed seeing the progress on your plane, the covering really looks great. That will be my next job this winter, looking forward to it. Keep building, the winter is meant for building airplanes, especially when you don't have to even go outside to do it.

    Subject: West Coast Piet Project for Sale :(
    From: "Mark Roberts" <mark.rbrts1@gmail.com>
    Well, it looks like I will have to sell my Piet project instead of moving it to Tennessee. Sad day, but I will move my jigs and will keep the plans. I just can't afford to store it here, and we could use the money for moving expenses. The project is located in Fresno CA. It is a framed fuse with the side door modification. I made the fuse 2" deeper at the rear seat (I'm 6'4" tall and wanted to sit a bit deeper in the fuse), 2" wider from the nose to the rear seat, and 2" longer at the firewall to compensate some for the lighter Corvair motor. It has 2 coats of varnish over most of the fuse (underneath some of the struts it will need varnish) so another coat and you're ready to start mounting metal! I thought I had pics of it in it's current configuration, but I don't. It is in storage in Fresno, and currently I'm in TN. I built it well, as I planned on putting my life in it's rear seat one day. Speaking of metal, the control sticks, and rudder pedal assemblies are made and ready to mount when the varnish is completed. Looking for $500, and it's worth it. I will keep the plans for when I start here on version 2! I need to move on this pretty quick, so if you're interested, contact me below. I plan to be moved and settled before the end of the year...

    bummer... I had to step aside from the first Piet I started many years ago. It made me all the more happy to get back to a project later.

    Mark, I'm very sorry to hear that you need to abandon the project, but most definitely can identify. Aviation loses a lot of flavor when a person is financially challenged...I know that feeling all too well. Fall back, recoup, keep the dream!

    Thanks Gary! You know too well what junk I've been through in Fresno with stinking Job layoffs! I had to get out of CA, and this Nashville job popped up and seemed to be divine intervention. Until today I have maintained that I was moving the project. But, I have had to look at it like I was talking to Dave Ramsey, the financial guy on the radio... the cost and the storage (not having a garage here or workshop) would quickly eat up the eventual replacement cost to just rebuild it. So... (sniff) it's available to someone that will finish her. Better if they are slightly oversized like me :D Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435218#435218

    I can store it indefinitely just south of chatt tn if that works for ya. I also have my Piet there flying, if you want to come down some day and get a ride or something. Also welcome to come visit in February when I'll be having a lot of Piet enthusiasts over for a weekend working on projects. There are several old woodworking machine enthusiasts in Nashville that are coming as well. All very talented woodworkers with very nice shops and tools, good guys to know.

    Mark, Keep me in mind if you don't get a response. I'm building a Sky Scout with an A-65. The wing is the same, as well as the tail structures. I might be able to use your fuselage to convert to an Air Camper configuration in the future. Would be nice to go back and forth.

    Oh, now why didn't you remind me that you were using a radial? LOVE IT!!! What a beautiful assembly! It will definitely NOT be a matter of years till it flies. All you have now is covering, finishing, and paperwork and it'll be ready to fire up and taxi test!
