Hi Bob,I have not used Dave's products. I have seen his Piet project. He took his uncoveredfuselage to Brodhead 2005, some on the list may remember it there. Daveis a very conciseness builder. He is selling assemblies not just dimension lumber.Skip----- Original Message -----

Thanks. Frankly his costs probably do not reflect his real time, or let'ssay my real time. I've sent him an email. It would not be as satisfying asdoing the whole thing yourself but more realistic form.Bob -----Original Message-----

Bob, You probably got the idea, but I meant Dave is a conscientious builder. Spellcheck doesn't help when your misspelled word is the correct spelling for someother word. ;)Skip----- Original Message -----

Chet Peek's new book, "The Pietenpol Story", features a photograph credited to Grace Ellen Wynne of the Corvair powered "Last Original" Pietenpol, built by Bernard Pietenpol, on the cover.The book is available from Chet Peek; I just got my (autographed) copy and have not yet read it but it will make for good winter reading by the fire. You folks in Florida and San Diego- don't try to figure out what a fireplace is because you'll never need one. We barely even use ours here in south Texas.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Chet Peek's new Pietenpol bookDate: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 09:38:15 -0400

Ah spell checkers. I was sitting with Transport Canada late on night, 4 ofthem, 6 of us. The were reviewing our reports on a Dash-7. One TCCA engstarts laughing, passes the report to the next person who starts laughingand so on. It was my report. Seems the spell checker didn't know I meantfuel shut-off valve, not shit-off valve.Bob. -----Original Message-----
