I just finished reading a wonderful article in the new Sport Aviation about the group of Jr high kids restoring a Piet originally built in 1932. It was originally built in 9 monthe which is amazing by itself.These kids have been working like crazy on this project. As long as everybody here has been feeling so huggy here lately, how about we all send them a gift from all of the Piet builders around the country. I would recommend we could gather checks made to their local EAA Chapter 57 and send them together.Any comments?Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 19:14:46 -0400 (EDT)

GlennI would certainly be willing to do that. Also, I will be hitting on my local chapter separately, to look at a scholarship grant that has gone unused this school year. I would propose if this works out to direct their teacher / supervisor to use money at his discression for the benefit of his volunteers in appreciation.For anyone interestedEAA Chapt 57Dick Navratil1415 Skiles Ln.Arden Hills, Mn. 55112 ----- Original Message -----

Nice idea. That's a good showing of support all the way from CA to CT. Since you brought it up how bout we send them to you and you forward the whole stack together? (more impactful) If that goes over well with the list, give a deadline. Glenn W. ThomasStorrs, CThttp://www.flyingwood.com ----- Original Message -----

RickIf you look at this picture of the data plate on the Last Original, http://westcoastpiet.com/images/BHP%20B ... _plate.jpg , you can see that Mr. Pietenpol lists an empty weight of 641 and gross weight of 1,282 pounds. I believe this plane has the 3/4-inch spars like yours does. I take this to mean you can list 1,225 pounds as your gross weight and still have a safe plane.Chris TracySacramento, CaWebsite at http://www.Westcoastpiet.com----- Original Message -----
