(Glen Schweizer) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:59:33 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: 2017 - the end of the Matronics Pietenpol list? From: "taildrags" The first 6 months of 2017 there were several hundred posts and replies to posts on this list. These last 6 months there may have been 100 in total, and in the last 90 days of 2017 there may have only been a dozen or two. Members of this list have the option of posting a poll so that the members can voice their opinions. I thought about posting a poll question asking if this list continues to have value to anyone who's still here, but the question answers itself since you'll only see the question if you're still here ;o) I'm on the Brodhead Pietenpol list and I pop in from time to time on the Facebook Piet page when somebody names me in a topic or picture, but I burn too much time on Facebook to want to stay there much. Guess I'll continue to hang out here on Matronics to see what the new year brings. More building and more low 'n' slow flying, I hope-! -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=476892#476892 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:27:38 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 2017 - the end of the Matronics Pietenpol list?

I do enjoy your posts, even if it takes half a day to read one of them-- Hi. Chuck PS I have all my parts built and painted. Just a matter of getting some warm weather to get out and put it all together. I do have to adjust the lengths of my wing struts. I bought a pair of Taylorcraft struts from a friend of mine. The FAA told him he had to put on new ones even though the old ones punch-checked OK. Mainly just a matter of shortening the struts and doing a little welding on the rear struts. Will post some pictures when its's finished.

I hope everyone will keep using this list. I think it is the easiest to use and I read everything on this list. Very Helpful. I just bought a hangar to build my Piet in so the project should accelerate soon. I =99m going to need lots of advice. I don=99t post much. I guess if I want the list, I=99ll have to contribute more posts. John On Dec 30, 2017, at 2:02 PM, Charles N. Campbell wrote: Oscar, I don't "do" Facebook.

Hello all. I receive list posts via my email and see all new posts...when there are any. I've noticed a decline in activity and I am part of the problem. Since having NX992WD completed but not assembled, I don't have much to say other than I am still in the process of final assembly. Sure I can answer questions, but someone replies with the answer I would have given and I see no value in adding my opinion on the matter. Other venues such as Facebook and the like detract from "our" list being utilized. I am actually building a second airplane now and spend my time researching ideas and focusing on the new build; so my time reading and responding to Pietenpol subjects is next to nonexistent. Still; I wonder why they are so few new builders using this site? I have an idea, but we'll save that for another thread! Happy New year all and Godspeed. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:05:55 PM PST US From: "(null) raykrause" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 2017 - the end of the Matronics Pietenpol list? Oscar, I'm still here, but have not had much to say. Since my eye sight went tits up, I can fly anymore, so building is just a slow slog to complete my SkyScout, get it approved and then......? So finishing it is not a hurry-up thing. But I will do it. Scott Liefeld has been a great help and will do the check ride when it's ready. Thanks, Scott! I don't check the Brodhead site very often, I have not set it up to just come up when there are messages. Maybe that can be done? Keep posting, Oscar, you are the Man!

I should have been doing my part to keep this list going. It was very instrumental in my build. I received my Airworthiness in August.PF Beck did most of the initial test flying while I got my taildragger endorsement in a Cessna 120, that was great but it didn't quite prepare me for landing the Piet. I flew it for the first time on October first, what a rush I really can't put it into words! It has 17.5 hours on it now but I think flying weather around here may be over for a couple of months.
