What about a downsized Piet to fit FAI UL regs : 992 lbs MTOW, 40mph stall?I'm thinking of a 90- 92% one from the Don plans.2. With a 4-stroke lighter than the Fords or Corvairs. And easier to find in France. ("Good morning Sir, would you have an oil pump for a 1924 Model A ?").3. Any Piet buff in France ? it would be of course for a ride.4. Tell me about the stall.5. What about the landing speed and distance, it would be for my 15 years kid,justsoloed.6. Stretched fuse or not ? Steel or wood (I prefer wood).7. e-mail address of the builder of this beautiful black and red Piet seen in Oshkosh?Thanks guys, I appreciate the serious of this group.Claude________________________________________________________________________________
