Hey gents, After a year or so of research, I have decided to build the Pietenpol.Looks like a nice ship. I will be starting on the engine first because ofarea restraints, but hope to start on the plane next summer after I move outof the cuurent home I am in. If any of you are locals to me here in So. Cal,drop me a note. Looking forward to learning from the group.Doug Blackburn, Arrowbear Lake, So.

07:36:36 AMHowdy,do the 3 piece wings facilitate moving the Piet?also, i haven't seen the turbos mentioned muchwhen talking about corvair powered Piets.I have seen some pretty exotic (to me) cylinder /piston setups, with really fine machine work(on the web) but it seems to me that the turboswould be a good idea for more power, and thesewere offered on the Corvairs...Is there some reliability issues with these?Are turbos a good alternative to carb heat? (heatmuffs)thanks!-pat________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2001 09:08:39 -0600
