If your in a hurry replicraft does great work. If you enjoy puttering andthe satisfaction of doing things yourself keep on going. Also, Replicraftand others offer a package of all of the steel parts that can cut out thattype of work. I am in Arden Hills, Mn. There are others in this area also.Dick Navratil----- Original Message -----

Hi Ben!! Whether to go for the kit or do your own building is something you really want to think about. I've heard the Replicraft kits are very good - extremely well made. If you want a Piet up and flying and don't want to do all the building, then by all means give them a call - they're nice folks. That would surely get you up and flying much sooner. Now, most of us Pietenpolers are stubborn, do-it-yourselfers, who take great pride in the fact that we milled all our own wood, or cut and welded all the tubing in the fuselage (see there, I'm "reaching out" to the steelers, and not trying to disenfranchise them! Aren't you sick of that word....)We're in it for the building, and love seeing our creation slowly take shape, but that doesn't mean you are, or even should be. When you're up bouncing around on a warm spring day in your Replicraft Piet, I bet you'll still feel awful good doing it!!! And I think that even if you go the Replicraft route, by the time you're through with it, you'll still feel like you did most of the work, cause you did! The big thing is do whatever it takes to HAVE FUN!!! That's what it's all about.Gary MeadowsSpring, TX________________________________________________________________________________
