Brodhead Pietenpol Association

I'm new to the list,and don't have a Piet yet. I'm looking at a project( actually 2 of them), but haven't made a commitment yet. My brother has one, but hasn't flown it in a few years. I currently fly a miniMAX. The projects I'm looking at are set up for the Corvair. I'm having fun reading some of the post and trying to learn more about this neat little plane Larry________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Ford Powered PietsDate: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:04:23 -0400

I have yet to see any Piet groupies at Jim's barn, so that shouldn't slow him down.His biggest problem is finding time to work on his project. The guy can'tstop for 5 minutes! He came by last Saturday for a cup of coffee (supposedly)and all I saw was a spinning coffee cup in a cloud of dust. I suppose thatwas him that zipped through. I wouldn't even say that I knew for sure, butI was missing a few things, so it was either him or that other low down scoundrelthat can sniff out a Piet project while standing at the baggage claim. Anyhow... I know that Jim is studying in his spare time, and he has help if heneeds it. Could it be that he is up to the 2010 challenge?--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ford Powered Piets

I built a BD-5 out at a place I called the "Bug Farm."It was an old barn adjacent to a creek and the bugs were pretty bad. The comment to people who'd want to know what the Bug Farm thing was all about was, no, we weren't raising them intentionally, and that I was the harvest.Difficult workshop, pretty location though.David PauleP.S. The BD-5 wasn't mine. It was the job that put me through college.----- Original Message -----
