In a nutshell, the Pietenpol is (scout or aircamper) an origianal designbased on homebuilt parts.A GN-1 uses the same basic appearance and dimensions, but is intended to bebuilt with surplus J-3 parts. It has a different airfoil, and the rest hasbeen changed enought to accept the cub parts and get around copyright laws.Mike-----Original Message-----

Larry,I agree with you 100%.. I am 4 1/2 years into building a GN-1. The plansare garbage. Many, many mistakes in dimensions. Some drawings are toscale, some arent. No real organization to the plans. Pitiful materiallist. Somehow Grega just jumped in on Pietenpol's design and "improved it"It doesn't really matter now. I've been intimately involved of course withmy project and with other Piet projects over the last several years. Mr.Piet built "original" (or did he?- look at the old WWI designs - wood-fabric- cables- skids) and light. Mr. Grega put forth a set of "plans" toadapt the design to utilize parts that in 1960's were as readily availableas used 486 Pentiums are now.I agree with you. Lets keep from confusing the two designs. But I try notto be too class-conscious. We can encourage Newbies to build "original". IDO - And I can. But lets remember, people wil ferrete out those $25.00plans in lieu of $100 plans from Pietenpol. thats a fact of lifeI did it. Wish I hadn't. But still, to build and fly a homebuilt is thetrue goal here- regardless of whether it's original, plagiarized, orwhatever.Besides, today was a BEAUTIFUL day in south Georgia/North Florida..... and Igot to fly a Piet for the second day in a row! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Have a great Sunday everybody!Bert----- Original Message -----

Larry,and Steve My name is Jay and I just picked up a gn-1 project that wasstarted by Cecil King from Muskegon Mi.The fuse is steel,and the wings (4)are wood. The plans show the Ariel (biplane) as analternative my phone # is863 701 0000. I would like to talk with other builders about their projects.-----Original Message-----
