Pietenpol-List: From my CFI
Pietenpol-List: From my CFI

List,Below, kind words, no doubt, from my instructor/test pilot. I forward this,not for the commentary on my own plane because I have been to Brodhead andhave seen true, lasting craftsmanship, but because I think it speaks to thePietenpol community as a whole. Roy has done a fair amount of backgroundreading on Pietenpols, but he really has no inkling about all of you, andhow this could be directed to anyone of you. He has accomplishments whichinclude CFI, ATP, Rotorcraft and is rumored to have over 15,000 hrs! Pilotsat my airport hale him as "the best stick & rudder instructor" they know (ofcourse, they don't know you CFI's in Pietenpol Land). His opinion of theairplanes we build and fly is gratifying.Funny story: Yesterday, while re-fueling, as usual, I collected somegawkers. One was a nice old guy who had just flown in in a RV-whatever. Hesaid, "It's been a long time since I have seen a Pietenpol, and that's a damnnice-looking one!" "It oughta be.it's fresh off the factory floor.""No kidding? I didn't know they were back in business!"Gary BootheNX308MB
