Hi TimWelcome on board. You will find the members of the list more than accomodating with both advice and opportunities to share in their experiences. Being from Western Australia, and still in the early phases of building VH-PTN, an extended fuselage Piet, I cannot offer anything more than encouragement and best wishes. You'll not find yourself wanting in either the aircraft or the esteemed members of the list. Make the most of both!CheersRobhttp://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/buildLogRepor ... r%20Camper

I've been reading this list for about two months and have decided to build a Pietenpol. I've ordered the plans and have talked frequently to a Pietenpol builder (His plane was wrecked an is hanging in his hangar), but I still have many questions. I would like to see a Pietenpol up close, sit in it (for fit), and ask questions. I'm not looking for a free ride, just want to become smarter before I start investing money. I live in Springfield Ohio and would like to visit a Pietenpol owner in this area.Tim White937 325 5625_________________________________________________________________Explore the seven wonders of the worldBRE________________________________________________________________________________
