Bill, thanks for the tip. I've since found his pictures on Westcoastpiet and received
an email from Mr. Princell. Looks like he's doing a beautiful job on the
restoration.

Douwe, I just read your post about stimulating interest amongst the younger
generation. In our EAA chapter we have a thing every summer called A. S.
C. E. N. D. It's for young people and it's sort of a summer camp. It lasts
a week and ours starts next week, I think. I don't know if this
organization exists throughout the EAA or not, but I think it's a good way
to get kids interested in aviation in general. Maybe the Pietenpol group
needs to address this organization and get the home-building thing
re-started. I think the EAA now concentrates on the manufactured aircraft
rather than the Experimental aspect of aviation. Chuck

Oscar,
Please don't say "wing" and "break" to me in the same sentence. It gives me
flashbacks...

You know, Veterans Day is on Wednesday 11/11 this year but if there were
enough airplanes and we did a little planning for it, a missing man
formation could be flown prior to lighting the BBQ if we did it on Saturday
11/14. Some of us (not singling anybody out) might have to fly it at full
throttle while others of us (again, not singling anybody out GARY) might
have to pull the power waaay back to let the others keep up, but it could be
done. I've only flown loose formation a time or two myself, but there is no
need for tight formation in this case anyhow. It's the thought that counts.
And it would be very impressive if we did a wingman break and the break
aircraft had a smoke system that was turned on just as they pulled up out of
the formation. And... and... ;o)

I feel part of the reasons young people are reluctant to start flying or building
an airplane is partly financial and partly not all that interested. When I
started flying in 1969 I had a good paying job AND 2 little boys and a wife. The
only way I could figure out how to get to fly was work a part time job. I got
a job at the airport overhauling aircraft engines and a lot of other airplane
related things to include gassing airplanes and mowing grass! I got to fly
and bought my first airplane working a second job. The cell phone/computer age
has not helped our ranks either(in my opinion). I fly RC some too. The fields
I fly at the average age is about 60. Used to be kids everywhere. Sometimes now
not a single child is there?????

| Subject: | Building sometimes just in my mind. |
I read a previous thread about (where are the new builders) ? Got me to thinking.
I am a new builder, and though I will soon hit the big 60 in age I don't
feel like an old person(except early in the morning). I too wish we had a
lot of young builders but as stated before there are lots of obsticles such as
money time and life in general. And a young person doesn't have the patience
it takes to pull this thing off for the most part. I had wanted to build an
airplane for years, I knew I wanted to build a pietenpol for most of those years...
I did buy plans for a parasol wing ultralight when I was in my 30s . It
used a Onan engine, and though it could have been built in one tenth of the time
of a pietenpol it still seemed way too complex for me. Now as I begin to
see a finish line in the distant I must say this is one of the greatest things
I have ever attempted . I wish I had started a year earlier, I could have been
flying now.
