Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers;I was researching some information for an upcoming article and wanted to verifythe claim that the Piet list is the most popular list on Matronics. Here aresome statistics of interest.1. Matronics hosts almost 80 different aircraft-related online lists or forums.I have no idea how many individuals are members of these lists, forums, or both,but the point is that we're not one of just a few groups in this "family".2. The Pietenpol List shows 11,888 topics and 57,288 posts in the latest trafficcount. The next closest is the RV-10 list with 9,293 topics and 49,169 posts.Runner-up to them for topics is the Aero-Electric list with 8,787 topics andfor posts, it's the Kolb list with 43,154 posts. You've all seen the listtraffic for awhile... we don't exactly burn up our keyboards with posts or topics,this is just a good, long, steady run of useful information and the continualaddition of new builders and Air Camper pilots to our ranks. But fifty-seventhousand, two hundred eighty-eight posts! The Affordable Care Act and itsrules only comprise 33,000 pages! ;o)3. I realize that much of the reason for these numbers is that the Piet and Aeroelectriclists were early to join Matronics so we go back a lot farther thansome of the other lists, but still- considering the popularity of other designs,that isn't bad for an old horse running a long race. And the fact is thatthere is probably more combined knowledge and experience on this list than onmost of the others... and for sure a lot more friendliness and patience. I, forone, truly appreciate being in your good company.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 21 May 2014 22:53:37 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet list statistics

Hello, haw are you?I think one of the reason for thats numbers ( among others things) is the kindof plane the Piet is. As I see the things, the Piet plans are not plans, are drawingsguide, and is not a kit, we have a lot of freedom when we build it, anda lot of doubts about simple things that are not especified anywhere, so wecome to the list and ask... "how do you....", "what you think about...", "canI replace...", etc, etc.. and as I saw some questions are repeated many times.But this dont replace the fact that as Oscar said: "and for sure a lot morefriendliness and patience"Regards--------Mario GiacummoPhotos here: http://goo.gl/wh7M4Little Blog : http://vgmk1.blogspot.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
