Hi all,I've been thinking about building since I attended Brodhead in 97. I have hadthe plans for a couple years and even bought some Douglas fir about 2 years back.I attended Brodhead this year in hopes of getting a ride in a Piet beforeI started making sawdust, but was unable to talk anyone into a ride. Also attendedBill Reweys forum and William Wynnes forum at Oshkosh. Well, 6 weeks agoI finally started building and I'm having a ball. I am building out of Douglasfir bought locally in PA, and Marine plywood from Noah's Arks. To date Ihave the fuselage framed up, seats, turtle deck, top and side stringers installed.The stabilizer is built and I'm working on the elevators, landing gear,and fittings. I hope to pick up a Corvair motor this weekend. I have been watchingthis list server for a while and have cruised the archives. It's niceto have so much info available from all of you guys. Still need to get my singleengine land license at some point. I have been flying gliders here in thePA ridges for the past 12 years. Some day I will get a home page together andpost some pictures. Until then I'll stay in touch. Thank's again for allthe good Piet info.Malcolm Morrison________________________________________________________________________________

Good to have you building a Piet, Malcolm. You've done a lot in 6 weeks.At that rate you'll have it flying in a year or so. I've been building minefor over 6 years and have it to the 90% complete, 90% to go stage.Good Luck,Jack -----Original Message-----
