Well, its been a while since I last posted so I just wanted to let everyone know how the Piet Project has been progressing. I did my first taxi testing about a month ago. Yesterday I had a DAR come out and inspect the plane, so now I have my Airworthiness Certificate. The inspection went very well, though I admit that I was a little nervous. The DAR that I used was Lowell Farrand. Lowell was the test pilot for the Mini-Max line of home built aircraft as well as the test pilot for the first powered parachute aircraft. He also served as the test pilot for military ejection seats. He has really had an interesting career. He has been actively involved with the EAA since the early days and was one of the first certified DAR's. The EAA did a timeless voices interview with Lowell that is pretty interesting.Here is how NX478RS now looks. I also uploaded a Youtube video of the first taxi testing, here is the link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHOlvuizuc4I am working on my tailwheel endorsement, so hopefully I can fly it soon.Rick SchreiberNX478RSValparaiso, IN________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 21:23:15 -0400 (EDT)

I actually did the painting of all of my control surfaces and center section in a spray booth they have at Starke. You are right about how nice the grass strip is. I have a friend who recently bought a 1929 straight wing Waco 10 who learned to fly it off of the grass at Starke. This is where he keeps it along with his Citabria. His instructor is the same person who will be test flying my Piet. Also Jim Haklin keeps his almost complete Pietenpol at Starke Co.

Hi Pieters,If any of you find your way to Virginia do yourself a huge favor and spend sometime with Jack and Karen Phillips at Bedford Landing B&B. While on Vacationmy wife and I found ourselves not too far away from Smith Mountain Lake. We calledJack and they had a room available. We had never meet Jack or Karen beforeand this was the perfect opportunity. We had a wonderful time with them. Theairport is very friendly, Jacks planes are beautiful and the B&B was superb.I only wish that I had flown my plane in there to stay with them. Perhaps nexttime. Next time we find ourselves in VA we will make it a point to stay again.Thank you Jack and Karen for the wonderful memories.Cheers,--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Reporting in
Hi Pieters,If any of you find your way to Virginia do yourself a huge favor and spend sometime with Jack and Karen Phillips at Bedford Landing B&B. While on Vacationmy wife and I found ourselves not too far away from Smith Mountain Lake. We calledJack and they had a room available. We had never meet Jack or Karen beforeand this was the perfect opportunity. We had a wonderful time with them.
