I've been intrigued by the Pietenpol. Last weekend my son-Chance, Steve R andI went to inspect one that was for sale. A few hours later and a handshakeI now I own a Piet. :D If everything falls into place and the weather cooperatesSteve R will fly it to it's new home. I've been a Mooney pilot for years now I'm ready for the 'low and slow' experience.--------DanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 18:29:23 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Newbie from SW Kansas

I come across this Piet found in Denton, TX. Just north of Dallas. http://2aw.com/pietenpol.htmI don't know the owner or whether he is interested in showing the Piet to non-buyers. But it might be worth a try.--------DanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Yes, and also the one constrained by one's significant otherfor years and/or family health issues.For the past ten years I figure mine has cost me the equivalentof a dinner out for two each month.ClifLife is not about waiting for the storm to pass,It's about learning to dance in the rain. I believe you left out one: The Dreamer This is the guy who eats, sleeps, and dreams airplanes all the time but never believes he/she has the resources to ever do anything about it (until age 54 in my case.) If he's lucky something happens that give him/her a swift kick in the pants to get started. >From that point on it's just a matter of perseverance. It's amazing how much you can get accomplished $10 - $100 at a time.

Mark, We were down there on Saturday and missed the burger bash. We became awareof Roger's Piet when we were leaving and did spend a few minutes looking atit. JM, Tentatively, We plan to be there Sat morning July 10th for a final inspectionand to take care of the paper work. Then to it's new home it goes. :) If your around come on by. I did consider building one. But after just finishing a two year Chevelle bodyoff restoration I'm wore out and would rather just be flying.--------DanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 06:28:06 -0700 (PDT)
