We don't have to stick to Pietenpols, either. Two years ago we built
floats that Dick Navratil was going to use with his Pietenpol. We could
be working on any type of wooden airplane. Most of the questions I had
last year were from folks restoring classic wooden airplanes.

For everyone:
Ben brings up a good point. Pietenpols have been a favorite of the wood shop for
2 reasons. The first is simplicity. Plywood gussets and wood sticks are about
as simple as you can get. The second is familiarity. Between us, we've
built at least 6 fuselages, several sets of tail feathers and dozens of ribs.
That doesn't mean we wouldn't like to do something different. I believe Flybabies
and Volksplanes have similar construction. KR-2's might be a stretch but
with enough advance prep work, we could certainly contribute a lot of man-hours
and expertise. The Fisher line might also be worthwhile considering.
For Tony:
We'll give you a tentative maybe on the horizontal stab and elevators. Keep in
touch.
Dave Aldrich
