Pieters=3BAs many of you know=2C we (Contact! Magazine) will be producing an all-Piet issue to coincide with the 85th anniversary of the Air Camper this year. We're looking for a cover photo=2C preferably air-to-air=2C of a Ford A powered Piet. Wire spoked wheels will be heavily preferred.Please go through your photos and send me any candidates that you'd like to have considered for this special issue of the magazine. Editor Pat Panzera plans to attend the dinner at Brodhead this year and I'm sure he'll be hand-carrying plenty of copies of the magazine. Subscribers will have already gotten theirs by then.For a superb example of what we're looking for=2C look no further than the Jon Apfelbaum photo of Dan Helsper's airplane that he just posted under the topic "More droopiness". It was the October 2012 calendar page from an EAA publication.I sure hope Jon has more of his Piet photos and would consider sending a couple. Send to taildrags(at)Hotmail.com or editor(at)contactmagazine.comThanks. ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet project for sale?

Tom,I will be the first to ask it, as I am sure others are thinking it. Are you sureyou want to sell? Plenty of builders have put their projects aside for longperiods of time. Ask Kevin Purtee and others about that.Having said that, you have to make your own decision. I wish you the best.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GAUSMC, USMCR, ATPBVD DVD PDQ BBQRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thanks Terry=2CI've wrestled with the decision for quite a few years actually. There are sentimental ties to it of course since it was started in 2000 and my extended family helped build wing ribs=2C my mother sat in the pilots seat and so did my kids. But knowing all of this actually inspires me to sell it in a way to someone who has new energy to complete it. What a joy it would be for me to see it fly some day=2C knowing all the history I have with it would be combined with someone elses hard work and dedication.My wife has always left the decision to me but reminded me of what's at stake with regards to those memories. But she understands my desire to see it completed is stronger than the desire to complete it myself. Also=2C it helps at this time that it isn't necessarily about needing the money for other things as it has been before. Of course the money doesn't hurt though =3B)Definitely not an easy decision but I think the right one is to move on. Its something I could do again with my kids if they showed interest when they're old enough. I appreciate peoples comments on it for sure.Tom B.> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet project for sale?
