Does anybody have, or has anybody compiled, a "Construction Manual" for the Piet? Or maybe a "Don't let this happen to you" list? Seems like the more I study the plans, the more I wonder if I'm interperting them right. I'm thinking of building a "proto" type of low-cost pine before cutting the Spruce and other aircraft grade woods. (Not that the pine will ever be flown, unless I hear of a democrat, ...nevermind, forget it)________________________________________________________________________________

Bill- Craig Lawler's comment on Tony Bingelis' books are right on.The three books I've purchased by Tony saved me not only manymajor mistakes I would have otherwise made, but returned 50 foldin money savings by not having to undo-and redo those errors. Thereis also more peace of mind knowing you followed some soundprocedures by a homebuilder who is well into his seventies. ________________________________________________________________________________
