Thanks for posting. I always enjoy watching them. I think the Homebuilt world is ready and needs a good top coat paint or additive that can be rolled on which eliminates the orange peel effect .... maybe I will work on that this year?

Tsa guy sees me, comes over and asks me if I want an omelette... Uh... Ya... I think... Is this a trick question? Next thing I know I'm escorted to the bowls of the airport where I get an omelette cooked to order, bacon, sausage, English muffin, coffee and home made peppermint bark. Wow. Took the pain of commuting to work on Christmas right out. Merry Christmas!

I am really=C2-glad you are able to take your project Piet with you. Keep at it and you will get it done. I have 12 years plus in mine now and I think I can see the end down the road a ways. You are the kind of person the Piet list needs to keep. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year Mark.

And I hope you will be able to come back to CA someday to finish it. We need people like you in our State! If you ever need a contact in the northern part of the State, let me know and I will help in any way possible. Hope you can just continue building in TN, not just use your fuselage as a piece of furniture. Hope to see you sometime and hear more from you, Ray Krause Building SkyScout Sent from my iPad > On Dec 23, 2014, at 8:42 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: > > > Well, an update for any who are following my saga (and if you are, what a sad life you lead!!) > > I got a call today from Tools (AKA Mike) and what a great guy. Ever since I decided to build a Piet, I have met nothing but great guys and gals. I know other hobbyists and car clubs, Gun enthusiasts, Ham Radio guys (I am one of those too), etc...
