Hi GuysI can tell you from a newbies point of view that I wish someone would redraw everythingin CAD. I know when my plans first came I looked them over every whichway and couldnt make much outta them. After I met a few guys like Jim Markleand Larry Williams and looked over what they have, then I started to understandthem better. I lucked out and bumped into a guy named Frank Hiles that lives45 minutes from me that has built 4 Piets and is on his 5th one now and hesshowing how to build now. Razorbacks Rule!!! (Well maybe not this yearbut somtimes, maybe once in a while, I think I remember when they did, OK maybenot, but then whos cares anyway, thats why I like flying and not football)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: builders agesDate: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 09:51:23 -0600

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: builders agesI was 42 when I started building with my good friend and mentor, Doug Bryant. 45 or 46 when I started flying it, and now have well over 300 very enjoyable hours on 'er. I had 'Builders Withdraw Symptoms', and now, at 51, I've been working on my 2nd homebuilt, a Wittman Tailwind, on and off for about 5 years. Building and flying airplanes have been an incredible journey for me !!Chuck Gantzer________________________________________________________________________________
