Hello,Just joined the list and wanted to introduce myself. I justrecently "discovered" Piets, and am currently trying to learnas much as possible about them. I found Grant's page last week,which was an eye opener. TONS of great information. I've beenhooked on open-cockpit planes ever since I had a ride in aStearman this summer. That was so great! It looks to me likePiet's have even better visibility because of fewer wingsgetting in the way.I live in New York City, and so building is going to be a challenge.I figure I can make parts for a while though, and then find morespace when I need it. I'm working on getting my PPL (in a Cub),and there is hangar space around, but it's pretty expensive.We'll see. I ordered plans from Don Pietenpol yesterday, soI should have a much better idea of how possible it's going tobe...If any of you are near NYC, and would like to show off yourprojects, I'd love to come have a look.Thanks,- Mark Burnham________________________________________________________________________________
