I purchased a project recently. I thought at first it was a piet, but now Iam leaning toward a GN-1. The fus. is laid out like a GN-1, but is only skinned with 1/16" plywoodfrom the front to behind the seat, like a Piet. Is this acceptable, or isthis project just trash?I have had our Eaa Chapter tech. councelor look at it and he thinks this isfine. He said it was built plenty strong and excellent workmanship. Thething that worries me is that he doesn't know much about Piets.I plan to use a factory new A-65 that was given to me by a friend. It hadbeen stored in a barn for 32 years. It was in the military crate completewith shingle roof like a dog house. I had never seen a NEW A-65 Crankshafttill now. It may be the only one in extistance. The engine is completeready to bolt on, and had never been turned over.I need some advise on this plywood puzzle so I can do something.Thanks in advanceBarry Davisbed(at)mindspring.com________________________________________________________________________________
