Steve, I'm at the South end of Lake Michigan just East of Chicago. I was
born an raised in San Antonio and my family history with San Antonio
goes back to the early 1900's. My Father was in the Air Force and worked
at Kelly Field after WWII through the Korean War and the Berlin Air
Lift. I had a Great Uncle that worked in the fabric shop at Kelly
covering Jennys and an Aunt that also worked there. From a very young
age I always knew I would build my own plane. I can remember going out
to Kelly with my Dad and seeing row upon row of Biplanes in storage. I
thought they were Jennys at first, but most likely they were PT-17's.
I originally wanted to build a WWI fighter, but that morphed into a 2
place single wing fabric plane as being more practical. Once I
discovered Pietenpols, that was it!
Rick

Thanks Keri-Ann, before I get accused of plagiarism here are the
original inspirations for the paint scheme :-)
When I was into RC models I always wanted to build the 1/4 scale Proctor
Jenny, but could never afford it. Once I had the money I would have been
afraid to fly it. I
finally decided to just make it full size ( well almost) and remove the
lower wing. I if you look at a Jenny, you can see where Bernard was
getting some of his design
characteristics as he did own one.

Jack,
I sure understand the need for inspiration when things start to bog
down. For me I would look at Mike Cuys video and the pictures I have
taken at Brodhead. Speaking of Brodhead, I am fortunate in that I am
only a little over an hours flight away. I mange to go at least twice a
year, once to the Piet convention and then to the MAAC flyin, which was
last weekend.
My build took 12 1/2 years. The last 3 years it has been at the airport.
I have moved it at the airport into 7 different hangars (and actually 3
airports) depending on availability, space and needs. The Piet has
generated a lot of interest in the local community. What doesn't show in
the edited taxi video, is what happens after I made the first turn onto
the main taxiway. I was going to show it off to my AP/IA. As I
approached his hangar, which can be seen on the left side of the plane,
all of a sudden people were coming out of the wood work. There was
running, yelling and grabbing of cameras, cell phones and Ipads. There
must have been 15 people running up to the plane. It was pretty exciting
for me, something I will always remember and this was just the taxi test.
Regards,
Rick Schreiber

Rick, I apologize, I know it is not polite to ask someone where they are
from. If they are from Texas they will tell you. If they aren't, there is
no reason to embarrass them.
You should get the book "wings over San Antonio, Texas" by Mel Brown. There
is also one called "San Antonio and the great war." Lots of great photos.
Mine is an alternate history military paint job.
Blue skies.

I have two Ford model A engines short blocks for sale. These engines were running
when removed years ago. One engine has low time hours as it came out of a combine
(1934) and the other engine is out of a (1929) vehicle. These are good
blocks. Looking for $500.00 for the pair or best offer.
