Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet builders and AC listHi All,Now in a career transition from self employed and gainfully employed, with a good company. I have 31 locations scattered around the US to visit from time to time. The after work hours are pretty much open times form me exclusive of the obligatory business dinner and entertainment component. During those travels I would like to combine my love of flying with my interest in the Pietexperience to visit some of the builders in process and some of the flying Piets.I am hoping to get some great pics, better info that I can apply to the construction on my own Piet. I got the bug, the plans and the desire, all I need now is the ambition, the ideas and the skill to build one. Being somewhat larger in size than Bernard Ireally need to see the fus modifications to widen and elongate mine. I am looking for all the help and assistance available form the experts. I plan to purchase the Tony books also but thought I would couple the collective experienceand ac views and pics with the book.I really want to build a great Piet, one that will accommodate my desire to return to the golden age of Aviation. I look forward to your information of list or what ever you would be comfortable in sharing. Away from home, there isnothing better than an evening at the hangar.Regards,John________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet builders and AC listJohn, good luck with the project. If you haven't gotten them yet, Chuck Gantzer has a couple DVD's of his Pietenpol available, and another fellow who'sname escapes me has at least one available too. If those videos don't get yourevved up...nothing will. I'm currently building a Mustang II, and can't waitto get her flying so I can start on a Pietenpol. On a side note, if you wanted to buy a Pietenpol, there was a note on the forum a few days ago about a Pietenpol that only has 3 hours TT, and is part of an estate being sold. Asking price was around $10,000. If memory servesit has a Model A engine. Good luck with the job, and your Pietenpol!Boyce________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet builders and AC listHello JohnIf one of your business destinations is near Denver drop me a line and stopin for a beer and a look at my project. I am in Castle Rock and little Southof Denver. And don't worry about being larger than Mr. Pietenpol we have alot of super-sized builders out there. Many of us have widened the fuselageand leaned our pilot seats back a bit to make things more comfortable (likeme). Order a plan set and one or both of Mike and Chucks Piet VCR tapes/DVDsand you can really start dreaming about it.Rick HOn 8/5/06, AMsafetyC(at)aol.com wrote:>> Hi All,>> Now in a career transition from self employed and gainfully employed, with> a good company.
