Finish your airplane and you'll have a whole new reason to enjoy summer.And a new reason to hate winter.Jack PhillipsNX899JPJust took the RV-4 up for a quick flight - not the same as a Pietenpol, butlow and fast has its appeal too. Similar to that "Treetop Flyer" video thatsomeone (was it Walt?) put on the list last week (that was an RV-4 as well).Just blasted over my neighbor's house while she was out washing her car -200' and 200 mph indicated. FUN! _____

I am wanting to start a Pietenpol soon. Any builders or owners near Pensacola,FL?? I would buy a project if near me and all spruce and MIL-SPEC plywood. I amgoing with Continental power. Probably an O-200. What about 3 piece wing versus1 piece? I have room to build either way.Jerry DotsonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
