Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What does it REALLY cost to build and operate a Piet?Boyce,Mine was a prop strike buy also, reported as minimal, I am not taking chances with crank issues on that. Visual by an A&P suggested it was probablyin good shape to the guy I purchased it from, checked run out all was reported ingood shape. Having been burned before on seemingly great deals I am having itinspected by a shop that can magnaflux it and give me an accurate read on the wear and life. just something about flying a piece of junk I don't want to be flying it when it reaches its full life potential of becoming a boat anchor....better to be alive and broke than dead and broke, I think?JohnIn a message dated 10/14/2008 3:27:33 P.M.
