Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What does it REALLY cost to build and operate a Piet?Ben,I have found the journey to so far as being highly rewarding and anticipate flying as being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Even if its not I still have the enjoyment of the build. I am powering with an )235 108 hp Lycoming which has a major not more then 600 hours ago so all I need is to havethe crank checked then its on to reassembly with gaskets, hoses and replacement of consumables and or questionables which who knows what that willcostJohn In a message dated 10/14/2008 2:20:09 P.M.

I have all the basic structure built and a used A-65 I'm planning to hang on the front with a used Sensenich prop. I was surprised to see I'm already over $10,000 and I don't have it covered yet. I do have a lot of extra continental parts I collected before I bought the engine I plan to use, and some tool rental that I could rationalize away. It'll probably be around 12K by the time I'm finished if I subtract out the parts that won't make the first flight but will be kept for the first overhaul. Hangers at my airport rent between 250-300 a month (east central Florida) I'm flying the crap out of a Baby Ace I only paid $8000 for. I keep telling myself its all about the journey. Building a Piet isn't the cheapest way to get in the air, but as others have said, you can pay as you go, and spread out over the 5 year or so average build time the monthly payment isn't so bad.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Hangar $About 6 miles West of the edge of San Antonio I pay $275 for a lit hanger witha a/ced small office and running water (hot water is provided by a hose lyingagainst the west metal wall.) Best deal is the community of pilots and mechanics.Steve D. 35 ----- Original Message -----
