Scott, Glenn, you other new builders-It really helps if you provide some idea of where you're located so you can hook up with other builders. City and state are fine (or country, if you're a furriner). Happy building!Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/CorkyP ... __________

Pietenpol-List: Re: new Piet builders
Original Posted By: Rick Holland
I've made a few, probably typical newbie, posts on the list and actually foundanother builder in Connecticut from this list. This is by far the most sparselypopulated part of the country as far as Piet builders go. I'm in Storrs, CT. I've been trying to meet up with the other builder in CT an hour or so fromme but synchronizing schedules has been difficult. I would be willing to drivea couple of hours to see one completed or in any stage of the building process.There is one gentleman in New Jersey that I will be meeting up with whenthings thaw out here. If I find myself having to do some business travel I'llprobably be begging for someone in that area to give up some time to showme their plane.I keep a running diary of my project at http://www.flyingwood.com Beware that since I'm just getting started there isn't much there yet but beginningMonday when THE FIRST SHIPMENT OF WOOD ARRIVES!!! I'll actually have someprogress to show. Since I'm new to all this (plane building but not necessarilywoodworking or mechanics) I thought having a place to display pictures ofwhat I'm doing will give me a way to verify that what I'm doing is consideredmainstream. I still have a lot of questions about incremental inspections asI complete different parts of the plane. I'm on frappr and have a profile herein the list. This project is the coolest thing I've ever done and this listis the best resource I could have ever expected to find.Thanks Oscar,Glenn Thomas--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:56:02 -0700

Heck, even in California, land of a billion people, I'm an island unto my self..Walt Bowe, about an hours drive is the only Piet I have found near me (1+ hours drive), and this is after 5 years of searching....Walt hasn't put up a picture of his incredible A powered Piet he finished thissummer so I will, hopefully he does not mind. This is a very nice Piet and agreat guy who let my 4 year old son sit in his new plane. Brave soul. Hey Waltyou out there? Mind if I post more pictures to the photo share? It's builtto the original Flying and Glider plans. He also has an old A powered truck togo with it.Chris TracySacramento, Ca ----- Original Message -----
