Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Nice article, Oscar!This is a great shot it the arm from EAA HQ. I'm thrilled that Experimenter is back, and Paul P. can see to it that the homebuilder roots are still alive and well. I was disappointed when the sport pilot organization and magazine (name may be wrong) floundered.Steve Eldredge

The picture of Ted Davis's plane I believe was taken by Bill Church. Sorry forall the confusion. I will Email Doc and let him know where the credit shouldgo.As for the website, the vast majority of the photos on WestCostPiet.com were nottaken by me because I have only seen two completed and three under constructionPietenpols (including my own) in my life time. I have never seen one fly.Sad I know but I cant get Mike Cuy to fly his over the Sierras so I can see onefly. I know there are a few Pietenpols here in California but I guess they haveto keep them hidden from all the RV and Fast Glass owners.A lot of the early photos I got off the internet. Since then I have been givenphotos by a few other sources, such as Bill. I didn't anticipate others usingthem in published documents so I never thought about trying to add credit forthe photographer. They were used only to help me build. Prior to the websiteI used to send people copies on CD but found it cheaper in the long run to putthem on a web page. In the future I will try to add a photographer name tothe photos if I can find a easy way to do it. Speaking of photos, we need more construction photos on the site. If some of youbuilders could send me some pictures, I would really appreciate it. You canremain anonymous or go by a code name if you want.Chris--------Chris TracySacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Chris,Yes, the latest BPA newsletter cover shot of Ted Davis' plane is one that Ishot. But don't worry (I don't) about who gets credit. I say the creditshould go to yourself, for hosting such an extremely helpful (and oftenreferred to) website , and to the Moshers for all the work Doc and Dee doputting together a great little newsletter four times a year for barelyenough money to get the thing printed and mailed (always on schedule, too).Somehow my photos have ended up on the cover of the last two issues of thenewsletter.As for my own exposure to actual living Pietenpols, other than thePietenpol-shaped bits of wood out in my garage, I have only actually seenone that was located outside of the annual Brodhead or Brussels Pietenpolgatherings. Of course, whenever I am around a Piet, I do tend to take a lotof photos. And I don't mind sharing them with anyone that wants to see them.Your site makes sharing them a lot easier.But seriously, Chris. you gotta get to Brodhead. You wouldn't believe what amotivation booster it is.Bill C.________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet News Letter Photo

DaveIs that an open invitation? I am not really certain where those areas are howeverIll be in Ontario,Fontana,City of Industry the week of Jan 26 and would enjoylooking at Piets in progress. Even at the risk of inviting myself. The unbridled avarice of Pietenpol mania knows no shame or humility. John------Original Message------
