This will justbe for us renegades won't it? Oh well, either way, it's ok with me. BTW, Ijust have to ask, did Mr. Pietenpol ever use a Continental 65?Seriously, I got in 1.5 hours in the ol GN-1 this evening. Was really bumpyand hazey, wasn't the best of enjoyable flying conditions, but did fly nonthe less. Out of necessity, I'm starting to get rather consistant with theyou're going to fly anything, you have to cope with the afternoon winds.Maybe it's that way everywhere, but it won't let up here till Autumn.Looks like Brodshead and Oshgosh is out for me this year, maybe next.

Since a GN-1 is an offshot or close sibling of the Pietenpol, I don't reallythink there is such a thing as a "pure Pietenpol" unless it was built byBernard himself, wouldn't we just be duplicating what we have now?I belong to another list re: MG TC's and am getting annoyed at the sillynitpicking going on about originality etc. I have really enjoyed the openattitude of this disscussion list. I am not building a "Pietenpol", mine is a GN-1 that is becoming more"Piet" like as I go. It seems as in any of these tech lists there are thosewho stick exactly to the plans and the rest of us. If no one everexperimented with the things we wouldn't even have Piets or GN-1s. Lets justkeep this list friendly and imformative. It might be handy though if wesigned off our messages with the variant we are working on.I guess that would make mine a , McNarry/GN-1/Pietenpol/Cirrus/de Havilland.;-)See you at the reunion?-----Original Message-----

I'll second John's comments! One of the reasons that I got soured on tractorswas the constant harassment by the self appointed CORRECT POLICE.Most of which hadn't a clue what they repeating. Keep it fun! I am incorporatingseveral minor refinements that I KNOW will result in a better aircraft.I'll bet that if Bernard were to look at several of the planes that you guyshave built,he would be duly impressed!John McNarry wrote:> Since a GN-1 is an offshot or close sibling of the Pietenpol, I don't really> think there is such a thing as a "pure Pietenpol" unless it was built by> Bernard himself, wouldn't we just be duplicating what we have now?> I belong to another list re: MG TC's and am getting annoyed at the silly> nitpicking going on about originality etc. I have really enjoyed the open> attitude of this disscussion list.> I am not building a "Pietenpol", mine is a GN-1 that is becoming more> "Piet" like as I go.

Bert,You can add me to your list. I hate to miss out on anything. But, I have to tell you, I won't be leaving this here "Authentic" Pietenpollist. I guess I am like the ugly duckling. I never realized I didn't flyin a Pietenpol aircraft until I heard about it here. So, you see why I don't want to leave this list. I might miss somethingimportant. Besides, I have met too many nice people here and it doesn'tbother me a bit that they fly Pietenpols.TedNaples, FLGN-1 "PartPiet">Alright! Robert you're number two (besides me).

Bert,Look at that statement. It doesn't make any sense what so ever. Words like"Comraderie", UF, FSU, U of GA, common interests.
