Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;I hope I'm not the only one who dropped Mary Jones (editor of EAA Experimenter) a note about Bob Whittier's column in the most recent Experimenter. Now don't get me wrong... I love Bob's column (Light Plane Heritage) and drawings, but when he says that it's a "fact" that the Piet is an ugly plane- I have to speak up! So I dropped Mary a note.I mean, thousands of homebuilders over several generations (including today's 'fast glass' and 'fast tin' generation) can't be so wrong about this pretty little ship, can they? True, there are some homely Piets out there, but I dare anybody to tell (for example) Mike Cuy that his baby is "ugly"... ;opOscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 06:46:38 -0800
