Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet progress pixWell, the Piet fuselage is more or less finished and moved to the strip where it'll make its first flights. The wings are in the paint booth and should be done in a couple of weeks. Of course, the weather just turned, 29 degrees and 40 mph gusts today. Sure wish I could roll back the calendar a couple of months, weather-wise. But 629ML should be ready to fly to Brodhead in2011.Matt PaxtonFairfield, VA________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2010 09:12:22 -0600 (GMT-06:00)

Jack, I don't know if BPA can stan two tarheels. I live in Winston-Salem. In fact after reading the Jan 2009 issue of BPAN I started to call and see about a visit to New Hill to see you and the Piet, but I never got around to it. I would have to drive -- my Piet is barely off the drawing board. ----- Original Message -----

Charles, you're welcome to come look at my Pietenpol, but it is not in NewHill. I keep it in my hangar at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia (W91), wherewe will eventually move and run a Bed & Breakfast for pilots once we get ourhouse in New Hill sold. I'll be up there every weekend from the end ofJanuary through May, so give me a call if you want to come look at it. Mycellphone is (919) 427-4440.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____
