Oscar,
I will definitely let you know when I head that way.
I do not have a tail wheel endorsement, but we have an instructor here in Lander
so I'm hoping to start working on that this summer. Sounds like I will have
plenty of time to work on that looking at some of the build times for a Piet!
Thanks for your help.
Brent

Hey Brent,
Welcome. I'm a fan of buying a project, or better, a derelict aircraft. But with
this caveat. Just assume you are going to rebuild the fuse, respar the wings,
and change the engine. Look for projects that come with materials, turnbuckles,
hardware, etc. The derelict aircraft has dozens of fittings that aren't
welded or anything. Not much satisfaction in building them, no risk in reusing.
Food for thought. Enjoy the ride!

I don't think that the EAA will shoot me for sharing this, but I have attached
a copy of an article written last year about a Flying Club built around a Pietenpol.
Apparently it makes a very good basic trainer.

A large part of what I plan to do with mine once completed is to Teach the economically
challenged, youth, and veterans. I think as pilots, the greatest gift
we have is to share the joy of flight, and if it gets more people interested
in vintage aircraft and home building, all the better. I am putting an altimeter,
airspeed indicator, and compass in my front pit, as well as an intercom and
modified Chinese flying helmets and throat microphones for communications. And
before any reg-nazis start freaking out, I will at most ask for half of the
operating cost for the aircraft, if that. If it hadn't been for generous people
in my youth, I wouldn't be where I am now, so I figure if I can pass it on,
I should.
