Hi Dominic Although I'm not real close to Port Charlotte I am on the West coast of Fl. I'm in Palm Harbor which is north of Clearwater about 10 miles and just south of Tarpon Springs. I've been building a Piet since last May. I have the tail feathers, the fuselage, all the wing ribs, and most of the metal fittings finished and just started on the landing gear legs this morning. There is also a fellow in Fort Myers and another in St Petersburg who are building Piets. I'm building the short, wood fuselage 1933 version and have an 80 horsepower Franklin aircraft engine which I'm overhauling for it. Welcome to the U.S. I'm sorry to hear about your marriage, I went through that 6 years ago, it really sucks.

Ah,, Dominic,,, The pain of divorce,,, I know it, or should I say I knew it.Many many years ago,, I remember many things,, like the time twentyfive plusyears ago I wanted to bring my Harley in the house during a long cold Ohiowinter,nothing permanant understand,, just a small weekend to finish some work soit wouldbe ready by spring. I paid for that one alright. But now as I turn and lookbehind meand see my piet in the living room and dining room, the only sound I here iscalm and peace.And so what if I'm a little overdue on my bills, I still order that piece of4130 fromACS anyway and I can leave the earplugs out. So just remember my friend, asyou startto lay down those jig blocks for the fuse and start tooling up, that pietwill be likea percodan for the soul. Good luck in your new adventure,,Carl-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piets in Port Charlotte area of FloridaHey Ed, Since knowing you are in Florida maybe you could give me some personal information about a winter fly-in over there. I think it's called SUN-Fun or something. I'd sorta like to load my bride in the Buick and take it in IF I would be assured of seeing some Piets. May I hear from you on this matter?Corky in La________________________________________________________________________________
