Subject: Pietenpol-List: bad news, left wing damage Have some bad news about my Piet. That replica flying bicycle I built ala the one at Old Rhinebeck that I had suspendedover my Piet with a good rope let loose sometime in the past two weeks since I was at the hangar and it destroyed theleft wing and cracked the rear spar just outside of the lift struts. Looks like I'll be sitting on the sidelines watching everyoneelse fly this summer. Oh well, stuff happens.Mikee________________________________________________________________________________

Mike,That certainly is bad news! I know how long it takes to build ribs.you maybe down 2 or 3 years (at my pace). Hoping for a speedy recovery,Gary BootheCool, CAPietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear18 ribs done

Mike,Further thought.I have ribs just hanging in my garage. You would have tocheck them to see if they match yours, but I would be glad to send them ifthey would help you get back in the air sooner.

Using the light-speed breakaway factor, accessible because I'm using a GECFM-6 with an aftermarket afterburner, I was able to finish my Piet and flyoff the 25 hours simultaneously yesterday. Unfortunately, the factor stillapplies so I'll be attending Brodhead this year but no one will remember meuntil 2021, and then everyone will see me in the photos from 1998.This high-speed physics stuff sure makes Einstein relevant.Mike Hardaway _____

Mike=2C we have never met but I have used your video and your postings repeatedly on our Piet build. Only a fellow builder could share the sorrow you must be experiencing at this time. We are all so sorry for your loss. I have admired both your workmanship and your willingness to help us novice builders. Vic N414MV no not archive.

MikeI have been "got" three times already today. Your's was #2 on my list. Myson went out and flew my J3 Cub early this morning and I got a message on mycell phone that said the Cub was grounded until we found exactly what wasmaking that "knocking" sound at about 1200 RPM. Of course I forgot all aboutApril 1 day.Barry Davis _____
