Sure looks nice. I like the looks a lot more than a standard Piet.Brian KrautEngineering Alternatives, Inc.www.engalt.com -----Original Message-----

Michael,Thank you for the consideration of our tender feelings! For those who maynot have seen this, here is a link to the Spacewalker II:http://www.me.mtu.edu/~jaricher/flying/ ... o.pdf.It's a low wing, open cockpit, kit. Looks like it has a metal fuse and wood& fabric wings...no struts.Though I am a lifetime PT-22 fan, I have nearly maxed out on UV and theshade of a high wing is welcome!Gary Boothe Cool, CA WW Conversion 90% done, Working on Tail Group (6 ribs down...)-----Original Message-----

Yes But the Spar on the D-11 is a bear to build with its built in washout.Outermost wing profile beyond the crank pitches down in chord for lowerairspeed control while main wing is already staled and this is change inpitch is built in to the box spar. I am completing a Falconar F-12 with thisdetail.And the one piece Jodel/Falconar wing at 27 feet is not the most convenientin terms of work space. I had to build a bump out in my shop just to fit thewing.I do think the low wing Piet is attractive esthetically and it makes accessto the front cockpit a lot simpler. I think on order to do it properly onewould be best advised to look at the FlyBaby structure.I would call it an Air-sportster instead of an Aircamper and leave thePietenpol part off in order not to offend the purists.Michael----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: Is this a Pietenpol 2?Several Years ago I saw a 1930s biplane fighter at an airshow (the Peashooter Ithink) and when I asked the owner about making a replica he laughed and saidit was a restoration. He had recovered a wreck in South America and the left wingtipand a part of a Longeron were origional and he "restored" the rest. So All you really need is one or two parts.
