Hey Folks,My name is Gary and I live in Spokane Washington. I've been watching the boardfor about a year and a half and have just recently built my first rib. I'm lookingforward to building my Piet as time and money allows. So I wasn't going tointroduce myself yet until I was a little closer to actually building the birdbut today someone listed two Air camper projects on craigslist and I thoughtyou guy's should know about them.I love reading your guy's posts and comment's. Some of you really crack me up.Look up Craigslist Spokane and if I can help in anyway let me know. Have a good day Gentlemen.Semper FiGary BennerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 13:43:52 -0700 (PDT)

Gary, welcome to the list and a word of caution - if the project(s) you're talkingabout are the ones in Harrington, WA, be careful....the horizontal stabilizeris definitely not fabricated from the Pietenpol plans. A careful inspectionof the other components would be wise.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Two Air Camper projects for sale.

Actually, after looking at the craigslist photo, it looks like the horizontal stabilizerlikely IS fabricated from the Pietenpol plans ... That is, the versionof the plans published in the 1932 Flying and Glider Manual. (See attachedimage).However, the suggestion to do a careful inspection is definitely a good idea, priorto purchasing anyone's project.Bill C.PSI still can't understand how anybody can actually manage to build a complete planeusing only the EAA reprints of that magazine.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1932 ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Gene Rambo's PietenpolDate: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:20:58 -0400

Well after a long hard year I am almost done with my Piet. Aerial. 0290 Lycomingengine, If anyone remembers about a year ago I bought this Aerial and asI was bringing it home a strap broke and it blew off the trailer and destroyedthe fuselage. I decided to rebuild with chrome moly tubing. The plane is now73 pounds lighter than it was and alot stronger. It is all together exceptfor some trim around the center section and wings, and around the tail. The engineruns great. I have a friend doing the interior now. As soon as he is doneI will call the DAR to inspect it. Here are some pictures. Sorry about thepictures, I will have some better ones soon.Wade--------Pietenpol AerialRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/mvc_ ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Two Air Camper projects for sale.

Thank you but I can't buy someone else's project. I just remember seeing someoneon here that was looking for a project. I have to build my own. I would like to be able to hand down an Airplane to mygrandkids, They love airplanes almost as much as I do so I hope to build my pietin the next 6 to 8 years and be able to teach them to fly and be able to handdown a beautiful aircraft. As for the movies...Yes on Waldo but I'm not a big gladiator fan. I'm more of theJohn Wayne war movie kind of a guy although I love the movie Finding Flight.You members on this list all do incredible work. Unbelievable the hours I havespent looking at all your guy's pictures. Semper FiGaryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 17:39:45 -0400
