Anybody seen or heard from Steve since he bought John Kuhfahl's Piet? Last I heard,he had moved it to his hangar and was working up a list of tasks neededto finish it up and get it in the air. John is an A&P and can sign it off whenthe time comes to begin test flights, and he lives on the field where Stevekeeps the airplane.I think that's the way it would work, since the airplane is registered and flewpreviously, and to my knowledge there were no major modifications made to itin the rebuild so it would be an annual condition inspection with an itemizedlist in the logbook of things that were done . I'm no expert on that kind ofstuff though.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:21:59 +0000 (UTC)

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Steve Dortch's PietSteve is Alive. An Now an update for this military campaign. from an Infantry DivisionOperational Planner.I have shaped the battlefield by getting my spouses agreement to purchase and informedthe kids that I will not be availiable most evenings and weekends.I am now setting the conditions for success. I am setting up my Garage to receivethe Piet. This part of the process can get sidetracked by honeydos. IE thisweekend I laid pavers for a small patio. This will be compleated by Sunday thisnext weekend. Then Movement to the area of Operation, moving the Fuselageto the Garage.Next is the actual crossing of the Start Point. I will start turning wrenches.I am not sure how long the campaign will take but I hope (hope is not a plan)to culminate this phase in 2 months followed by working on the wing for 1 month.This should include painting. The decisive point of this operation will be assemby of the aircraft at the airport,followed by test runs and 20 hours of flight. Blue Skies,Steve DPS the biggest problem with moving the project to my house is I will be movingaway from John and his knowledge.----- Original Message -----
