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.

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!

Apparently it makes a very good basic trainer. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=466126#466126 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/article_19872_187.pdf ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:55:40 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: the Air Camper as a training aircraft From: "JSeitz" 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.
