Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Original Posted By: AMsafetyC(at)aol.com
I guess I re-started on my project at just about the right time - the official starting time of Buildapalooza 2010. Incidentally, why is that not Bap 2011? My calendar says that I will soon be into 2011 and if I even hope to make it to Brodhead 2011 I gotta get my butt in gear. I hope to have the Piet assembled in the non-covered stage by the end of January. Then I can start covering and maybe get started on building the Corvair in February. Maybe test fly the end of March. That will give me April, May, June, and part of July to fly off the 40 hours. That comes out to about 110 days -- or 0.37 hours per day. That means a bunch of days I will really have a sore butt -- cause I can't fly every day! If I don't make it I'll see you guys in 2012. ----- Original Message -----
