The 2 airplanes represent different builders whoareputting different things into their hobby and getting different thingsoutof it. Some of us look at a 400 hour low cost airplane and think 'wow,itmust be emberassing to take that thing out in public.'Others look at an extremely nice example that sparkles like the jewelthat it as and think 'wow, he must have spent a fortune and a ton ofhours, I'll bet it's really heavy.'This is a lot of the reason why homebuilt aviation attracts such adiverseand rich group of people. There is room for us all.P.S. Some of my postings are mistaken as diatribes because I comeacross as pretty heavy sometimes, but this is not meant to be one.Randy StockbergerCorvallis, OR>-----Original Message----->From: Paris Wilcox >To: Pietenpol Discussion >Date: Thursday, August 13, 1998 10:44 AM>Subject: SA Piet>>>>Did anyone else see that piet on Sport Aviation this mo?
