'Right in front of me is Bingelis's 1988 book firewall forward. A great resource if you happen to be building a plane like yours.'You're exactly right William and this list happens to be about building Pietenpols so that is why I so highly recommend the Bingelis books.You're also correct in that there are many new products on the market that have made some of the old products museum pieces.Mike C.Ohio________________________________________________________________________________
Pietenpol-List: exactly right
Re: Pietenpol-List: See you at Brodhead
Original Posted By: Michael Groah
Hope to see you there, William, arriving (hopefully) via my own Pietpilotage!BTW, even though I eventually went "the Continental route," it wasactually your words that prompted me to buy the Piet I now own and fly alot, a plane that, with a lot of help, we rebuilt after an incident, andwith a lot of other help, switched from an A65 to a C-85 that I helpedassemble 1.87 times (and counting!).I don't recall your exact words, but they were to the effect of: See thatguy who just taxied up in that really average-looking plane? He built itand now flies it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, and it's notperfect to outsiders' standards, but hey, it's safe and he just got backfrom punching holes in the sky with it. Other than hangout at the airportor read emails, what did you do this morning? If you're not flying, assessyour life; figure out what you need to do to get on the path to flying -right now. We're all one day closer to a lost medical.So, I did.Thanks William.--Jeffrey H.
