I'm a Piet builder in McPherson, KS looking for someone nearby who has acompleted or nearly completed Air Camper to shoot some photos of. Ihave heard that there is a very nice Piet at the Benton, KS. airport.Can someone out there tell me who to contact to see this airplane? I'dbe more than happy to buy someone lunch so I could talk his/her ear offabout my own project.Tom Stinemetze____ | ____ 8/ / ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Who's on First?Tom, Like Mike C. said, I used to have my plane at Benton, and yes...I enjoy sleeping in !! I'm down at Cook Airfield now. It's between Derby and Rose Hill. Great little airport...not too busy, 1600 foot grass runway, and 2600 foot hard surfacerunway. I have a really good hanger now, it's all closed in, and has electric, and a concrete floor. At Benton, it was an open Tee hanger, and birdsconstantly had their way with my plane !! It would be great to get together this week sometime. I could even fly up to McPherson after work some day...weather permittiing. I flew up there andmet a guy named Chad Johnson, who was wanting to build a Piet, but haven't heard from him in quite a while. E-mail me off list, and we can arrange a meeting.Chuck GantzerNX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Sealing woodDate: Mon, 3 Oct 2005 07:52:47 -0400

I found the same problem. I solved it by buying and applying the Polyfiber Epoxy with a small roller to all the fabric attach points. Istill have some of the quart kit left. I didn't bother to recoat theinside structure with it. That way I got both cheap and good.Steve E-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Elevator control cable connectionsIf you guys insist on paying $5 ea for shackles that is sure your priv. But I will once again give you a tip given me by Joe C. Go to Home Depot, wire rope section, for Attwood stainless steel EYE STRAPS, 1/2 ". You get 2 for about$ 1.50. Bend the ears around in a vise and you have a perfect shackle, strong and light. $ 1.50 vs $10.00 plus freight. No way.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Who's on First?Collinsville is about 10 miles north of Tulsa. It takes me about 4.5 hours to go to the American Airlines training center in Fort Worth if that helps. Just give a little advanced notice. I'm available most of the time. There arethree other Piets on the field which I can probably get you a look at least acouple of them.JIM________________________________________________________________________________
