Pietenpol-List: Time estimates

Mike, You're absolutely right about the time it takes to fabricate a part. Iwent through enough steel for three Air Campers. This Piet project was supposedto take 3 years....Boy was I wrong! I'm in my 5th year now and still probablyhave 2 years left on it. At least I hope I can complete it in 2 years and flyit to Brodhead. My patient and very understanding wife still keeps asking mewhen will it be finished and my stock answer still is "3 more years, Honey".

The second greatest thrill known to man is flying.Landing is the first.The above is 10 fold in your own home build Pietenpol, no matter how longit takes to build.Building and flying your own airplane is a privilege only known to veryfew.Even in the current EAA only a small percentage of it's members haveachieved this.Don't get discouraged about how long it takes, enjoy the experience, becomepart of the few.Hans________________________________________________________________________________
