Subject: Pietenpol-List: Markle's photos and Ford Piets Dear Jim, You photo progress photos are REALLY encouraging however I too believe that youwill most likely be a 2011 Brodhead Newcomer becauseunless you're going a really slip-shod job of fabric covering and rolling on someof that Sherwin-Williams house latex paint with a roller, you'll not be in attendance at Brodhead 2010. It took me ONE ENTIRE YEAR to cover, paint, and assemble my plane to fly. Yourmileage may vary. I'm talking everything running, readyfor flight, control cables in, wings rigged, struts made, the whole thing was pre-assembled(ala what the Tony Bingleis books suggest)and it still took me ONE YEAR to cover, paint, and assemble. One year. I hopesome of you guys are faster than I was but of course I hadto satisfy Piet groupies, girlfriends, and neighbor ladies during the last yearof covering so don't go by my estimate. You may be muchmore effiecient than I. Best wishes to all for those hoping to make it to Brodhead2010 ! And most certainly I jest with some of this content.
