As things are a bit slow on the list, here is an update on my new Piet.The tail is finished with the special batch of Poly Tone that Stits made for me. I wanted it to look like leather stretched over a lamp shade and I am happy with the result, it is transluscent. I fit the wing center section on last week with temp fittings. Yesterday, I built the bellcrank assy and it will be installed this week. I am going with external rigging on the bellcrank. The wings are almost ready for covering, just some minor puttering left.Rotec e-mailed me last week. They say there are 3 other Piets now under construction. I know of 1 in N. Florida who is on the list here. Has anyone heard of anyone else?I'm still hoping mine is done for Brodhead.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 20:30:03 -0500

I was just thinking the same thing lately. I'd really like to help try to organizesome kind of gathering in Ohio. There are several active Piet pilots inOhio and I think we could make a decent showing. A few would include Will Graff,Mike Cuy, Frank Pavliga, Virgil Phillips, you and me, and I'm sure there'smore. I'm sure the Barbers would accomodate us and their EAA chapter at thefield would always like to sell more pancakes. I could talk to Forrest and gethis opinion. They may be interested in hosting us. Or we could just plan togather at another. The Taylorcraft and Aeronca fly-ins at Barber may work.Wynkoop field is a beautiful one and would be a good one to meet at for the Wacofly-in too. I think both of those have hosted Pietenpol Fly-ins in the past.Both are grass an' gas. Any other Buckeyes out there have any other suggestions?Let us know.Don EmchRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 09:02:12 -0500
