I don't know, maybe it's just me, but why do they call the bi-plane aPiet? The tail isn't a Piet, the wing tips aren't a Piet. The rear fuseisn't a Piet. What on there is a Piet?If you have a Model A, and rip the body off it and put a Chrysler nose on itand a Buick rear on it, and a Hudson roof on it, is it still a Ford?How would you possibly recognize that as a Piet? (even the name is spelledwrong) Or is that the key?Should have been "Stearman for sale" (two holes,,,got to be a Stearman)Sorry,,, bad mood tonite. More snow on the way, 1 foot by Sunday nite:()walt----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: this is Way cool ! A biplane PietHey it's not Piet that's for sure. But in defense of it I thought you might want to know that the one in the Barnstormers add had been modified to look more like a Waco. The St. Croix version looks more like a Piet with an extra wing. They also sell the mono wing Piet plans, but of course like Grega it just ain't a Pietenpol, unless the plans come from Pietenpol.Dan________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2003 12:27:21 -0500
