Fisher D82 Moth replica ... but that's just me after building a Piet. Two wings
are always awesome.

| Subject: | Blakesburg adventure |
Hey all,
Thought I'd share my biggest "RE-PIET" adventure to date.
Flew to the Antique Aircraft Association fly-in at Blakesburg, Iowa over the
weekend. 400 miles each way, over 14 hours in the saddle counting a few
dawn patrols and one absolutely crazy evening flight being buzzed by
incredibly beautiful antiques with pilots who seem to have forgotten all
traffic pattern rules in their desire to "make a splash".
Was really an awesome experience. Very friendly people, great "grass-roots"
feeling with flying actually encouraged! The WX was hot but perfect the
whole time. About 350 beautiful antiques with three Piets and a Grega which
had supposedly been north of the arctic circle.
The strip there takes some getting used to. They kind of push you to land
right at the beginning, per-normal except that it uphill and sloped
sideways. Once I started landing past that part, things were fine.
I really love flying over all that farmland with emergency landing sites as
far as the eye can see. I also really like flying behind a solid, proven
engine up front as it just chugs along without a hiccup.
Keep building!!
Douwe

I love my Piet, even though it's not finished yet. I truly believe that
you will gain more by building the Piet from plans than by building a kit.
I don't really know anything about the Tiger Moth kit but I believe you
will gain more from the Piet. One thing though, if you're in a hurry to
fly, the kit route would probably get you in the air sooner. (I've never
built from a kit, but I did rebuild a Piper Tripacer once.) Either way,
there is going to be a lot of work involved. Chuck

Ah Chuck, you bought the Piper tripacer kit. I bought a 1948 vtail Bonanza
kit. It comes assembled and you disassemble it, replace parts and
reassemble it.

Hello good Piet-ple,
Had a nice day in the workshop on Saturday - working on the center-section and
fitting/positioning the fuel tank.
After a long, but really fine day, I put everything away and took in the serene
setting of the workshop.
It's about the journey.......!!

We're some of the parts made from unobtanium? And priced accordingly? I
learned the value of "owner manufactured parts"
Don't ever discount the value of experimental planes and parts. Unless I
have to rent my plane to someone or instruct in it, The Bonanza will be my
last certified plane. I love the plane, but keeping it flying can be
frustrating.
