Howdy List...THANKS for all the great posts I have read over the last several years - thoughtI'd join the conversation.I started my Pietenpol a little over two years ago and yesterday I moved it outof the shop with the engine mounted for the first time. Since I am building myPiet in a one-car garage/workshop, it works out great to move the fuselage overto the next "bay" so I have room to fabricate the parts. My temporary landinggear lets me move it around like a wheelbarrow until I fabricate the actualflight-worthy undercarriage. I have attached my most recent photo (from yesterday - a real "super" day in moreways than one) and below is the link to my project on the ROTEC engine webpage.http://www.rotecengines.com/Projects/Ja ... z.htmlGlad to have chatted with many of you offline. I look forward to this continuedPietenpol adventure with many of you as well...Jake--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/engi ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: After years of reading I thought I'd finally signup...
