Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: What does it REALLY cost to build and operate a Piet?I'm with you John. Same approach for me. Mine was not a prop strike, but a prop "drag" The engine was off, and prop feathered when the plane came in gearup. Didn't even bend the prop, just ground the tip a little. As I said the PS inspection went fine, except the crank pins had some minor wear and groovesthey wanted ground out. Back to the Pietenpol costs, someone on Barnstormers has a Pietenpol fuselage from a aircraft that was a flier, for next to nothing $1500 I think.....________________________________________________________________________________
