Hello everyone!My name is Curt Merdan, and I recently began my journey to Brodhead figurativelyspeaking.A few months back, I was talking with my wife Laura, saying that I needed to findsomething to do in my freetime other than surfing the internet in a endlesssearch for nothing. Then I came up with this crazy idea of building an airplane. Laura said that wouldbe a great idea. Wow, I got her blessing! I went back to the internet to find the perfect airplane and guess what I found.The beautiful, wood and fabric Pietenpol Aircamper. It is the perfect tributeto my heritage. I am the son of a Seamstress and Carpenter from Minnesota.I've got my plans, wood for the tail, glue, questions and motivation!Curt Merdan817-875-5027Flower Mound, TXRead this topic online here:
