Pieters FYI:I just watched a 30 minute long program on Discovery Wings (ahhh, I lovedigital Cable TV). Evidently this year's project is some goofy Britishclown bumbling his way through the construction of a fiberglass project.Unfortunately, the dopey humor and slapstick antics (yes, he actually fellover backwards, yucking it up, at the end) takes away from the theme. Italmost stinks enough to compare to the sad program a few years back thatshowed some nerd in his unsuccesful quest to assemble a kit in 30 days.Remember that one?BUT_ They actually interviewed and photographed G-Piet ,a Beautiful Piet(obviously a British registration), and talked about "plans-built"projects. Gave Mr. Peitenpol some air time. They only spent about 3 or 4minutes on this segment. Then went back to the Jerry Lewis thing.As usual, in today's times, the goofy overwhelms reality.I wish they'd contact some of us. I bet Mike Cuy or Steve Eldridge or DocMoser or Don Hicks or Larry Harrison or any one of those guys up atBroadhead (that I don't know) could show them how a plane's built. Oh well,watch it if you wantLater, Bert(who's ready for cover on the fuse - is in proud possession of spars, andwishes he could retire early and finish this airplane).________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 21:33:53 -0700 (PDT)
