Hey Steve, I know how you can make both of us happy....you can build mea Piet or some other taildragger with a stick. Here are my specs:1) Taildragger2) Stick3) Two passenger (Real people 190 lb each)4) Conventional powerplant (Lycoming, Continential, *RADIAL*)5) MINE...MINE...MINE...I expect to see pictures popping up on your web site any day now. Justsent me the bills as you purchase materials, I'll try to get them pastmy wife. We can work out the details later.I am so tired of renting flying accidents. I was supposed to fly toPhoenix but the plane I was supposed to rent was ground looped and losta wing and propeller! I had a backup plane but had no pilot confidencein it. Somebody touched the wing on landing and you could see shinymetal sticking through the fabric (Ground the spar a bit I suppose)Not to mention the condition of the rest of the aircraft...I drove mytruck. I keep telling my wife that I NEED my own plane. Who knows whatabuse others are putting on the rentals. I can't catch everything on apreflight. STEVE CAN YOU HELP! Desperately seeking wings. =) Youcould save my life man.PS I'll drive a refrigerator right over, just say the word.Carl J.
