Subject: Pietenpol-List: Gary Boothe's landing gear/brake photos/ wheels and newPiets on the horizon Again and again I'm am SO IMPRESSED by the fine workmanship that is coming outof the newest generations of Pietenpol builders ! To me, in the old days, the Pietenpols you'd see were generally pretty junky looking and unimpressive topotential passengers and builders but in the past number of years thequality of the Pietenpols coming down the construction pike has really set thebar higher-- giving the design more appeal to new builders and I think a newsense of pride and 'safer looking' airplanes attracting even more builders to thistype. Dan Helsper's Piet appears to be a beauty in the making too and I will bet withDan's choices of colors he'll attract a younger crowd as it really is a wild(but to me a very attractive and unique) one. Can't wait to see the newer Pietsat Brodhead next year. Gene Rambo said that he's coming alongnicely with his and might make it next year-- there are several others. Greatstuff-- keep them coming guys !Mike C.
