Erkki,My "nope" answer was in response to your last question:Does the market offer such an craft with the nostalgic look of the Pietenpol?"I'm not aware of any Pietenpol lookalikes, especially one made from aluminum tubing.There is a single-place parasol design that is built from extruded aluminum angle,called the Texas Parasol. It bears some resemblance to the Pietenpol. Attachedis a spec sheet. It looks as though it would give you everything you're lookingfor, EXCEPT the 2-seater requirement.2 seats, under 500 pounds empty weight, AND looking like a real airplane is a tallorder to fill.The plans and builder's manual for the Texas Parasol are available for free here:http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/cav ... x.htmlBill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/tp_s ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: View Questions, Fuselage Construction and so on....

OK.Show of hands..Who's been to Gilmer, Tx..Yes, I know Kevin, you have beenthere (you can put your hand down)..but, who else? So what are the odds thatyou put out a Marklegram that you're going to be in Gilmer, Tx, and you wantto know if there are any Piet builders near... and one pops up!Robert Caldwell is a Texas Gentleman who keeps his Stinson, and part of hisPiet in Gilmer. The rest is back at home base in Holly Lake, Tx, about 20miles away. When you go to see anyone in Texas, the first order of businessis to go git some Texas BBQ. Since it was a bit windy, Robert and I went togit the obligatory BBQ, chat a bit, then return to the airport to check thewinds. They had died down significantly, so we jumped into his sturdyStinson and flew to Holly Lake. There a friend, with a newly updatedTri-pacer, loaned his jeep and we drove to Robert's house and workshop tosee the rest of the project. Robert is an excellent craftsman, with somevery cool ideas about the pilot seat.that's all I'm going to say for now.You'll have to wait until he finishes and he and Axel barnstorm to Brodhead.Don't fail to check out Picture #4..It's a Corvair that hasn't even brokenits cra-..Wait a minute..I made a deal with Jack, and Rule #1: The Deal'sThe Deal.Signing off from beautiful Gilmer, Texas,Gary from Cool, Ca________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Tie Downs at Sun n Fun
