Subject: Pietenpol-List: Jene PetersThere is an ad in the Sept Spt/av. which says "Western Ac supplies nowopen at new location. Your source for milled kit and restoration woodsupplies etc. etc." I'd heard Jene Peters got someone to take over thebusiness. 250-355-0003 or fax 250-355-004 or e-mail ataircraft(at)telus.net. Sounds like the outfit I bought my wood from. Ipaid $1500 for my kit, but that was off set by not going the greatexpense of buying a lot of tools. Also whenconsidering using cheaper alternate wood (heavier than spruce) go theexpense of lighter sitka for your tail feathers. Piets are notoriouslytail heavy. A few oz's saved at the end of that long moment arm willmultiply into pounds kept off the tail. Doug- I think I remember SteveEldredge saying that about the only power tool he used to build his Pietwas the saber saw.
