Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Original Posted By: "DJ Vegh"
Hi all,A brief background may be helpful. A couple years ago I considered buildinga Piet. Instead I started an RV 8, yes a metal plane! It is getting prettyexpensive with 2 kids in college (one in Hawaii, of all places). I love thebuilding process but with the 8 its completion seems a long way off. I havealways loved the Piet. I have BP's plans and lots of articles on it. On myway to OSH this year I was thinking of stopping at Brodhead, that Saturdayor Sunday (26th or 27th). Do I have the date's right? Would there be aplace to park my pop-up camper? And I hate to even ask, but if thesituation was right, could a guy beg a short ride to see if I would even fitin one?Thanks in advance!JackDes Moines, IA________________________________________________________________________________

Jack,Yes, the dates are correct. No problem with the camper, they ask for a onetime donation, which covers camping as long as you care to stay.There will be more Piets there on Saturday as people start leaving earlySunday. Talk to the Piet pilots who are there, some hop rides and somedon't.Skip--> >On my way to OSH this year I was thinking of stopping at Brodhead, thatSaturday or Sunday >(26th or 27th).

Yes there are several suppliers of the plans for the Pietenpol , Ireccomend you buy from the Pietenpol family, they are the rightfull ownersand other plans are just photocopies of plans.Best WishesJohn Duprey________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 06:32:04 -0700
