Chuck, On any given day you can usually find a "Peanut Scale" model on E-Bay. That would be a small rubber band powered model you build much like the real model. I think it has 26" WS, and you wind it up and off it goes. A very nice plane covered with tissue after the stick construction is finished. Chuck, I decided to look before posting, and here you go. Found one..... 5928963200. Go to Ebay and paste this number in and it is just what you are looking for.Doug BlackburnDoug/Elizabeth BlackburnYucaipa Californiawww.inlandsloperebels.comW.W. conversion manual, #3202,#5782 www.flycorvair.com>From: Rcaprd(at)aol.com>Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol Model>Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 21:13:23 EDT>>>Group,>My nephew is in gradeschool, and is doing a science project on the >Pietenpol>Airplane.

Chuck,Dumas Models has a pretty accurate Piet for about $60.00 (30" wing span). Probably too expensive for him though. Sooo...go to ebay use the search for "Pietenpol." Normally they have "Peanut Scale" Piets for sale. From what I've seen they go for about 13-14 bucks.Stacy ________________________________________________________________________________

Yep! I forgot about those card models in my other post. They're pretty darn cool, be great for the kids. BTW, I found a Wells Fargo Bank on Fiddler's too. By coincidence it's based on the one in Columbia, CA...I go there every time I'm back home in CA. There's a GREAT fly-in campground in Columbia (O22) if anyone's ever in CA I highly recommend you stop there. Especially in a Piet (has grass strip)!Stacy________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Chuck,Peck Polymers makes a "Peanut Scale" (13" wingspan) rubber band powered flying model of a Pietenpol. Check out www.peck-polymers.com and click on kits, then peanut scale. Current price is $12.95. It is a good kit (i've got one, but haven't built it yet) with high quality balsa.JackNX899JP>

Chuck,If you can't find the Peck kit locally (I kinda know what that answer willbe -- it's not R/C!

-- check on the Penn Valley Hobby Center website forit -- good prices & wonderful service, just like an old fashioned hobby shop(or a Piet! ;-)Mike C.Pretty Prairie, KS----- Original Message -----
