com>Hi allFirst the intro before the questions and off the wall comments. 25 years or so ago, as a kid, I dreamed of building and flying my own plane. Looking back it likely would have been built of 2x6 and 3/8 inch plywood, weighed in at 3500 lbs empty, and been powered by a snowmobile engine. Oh the optimism of youth! Then came real life, having a family making a living, etc...- But the dream of flight stayed nestled quietly in the back of my mind, fanned once in a while with a ride or even just watching a small plane fly by. A year and a half or so ago the ember started glowing brighter again and with a little encouragement burst into a flaming desire I can't seem to extinguish (okay I'm not trying very hard).with a little research on the web I found building my own plane wasn't so off the wall (although with a slightly modified materials list). Then I found the Pietenpol. Ever since I first saw her I want her so bad I can taste it. Ive lurked here daily in the last year trying to learn all I could about her but to shy to speak up till I could say Ive started building. Well Ive started. Finished my rib jig yest and started cutting pieces, What a feeling. My wife is doing very well with it considering small planes scare her. I tell her many Piets take 10 or more years to complete so she doesn't have to worry for a while [Wink]- Anyhow, thanks Cliff for your kindly reply to my email the other day and Michael for your hint video's.See you aroundKim(ball)--------"She is about as hot as you'll ever find a plane and I'll bet that 10 years from now the design will be pretty warm still."- B.
