Hello,I have been dreaming about building an airplane since I was 3. Foundan early issue of "Kitplanes" on the newstand, and eventually stumbledinto an EAA chapter and became a member. The First set of plans Ipurchased were Pietenpol plans from Mr. Hoopman for $35 in 1986.I have looked them over many times but currently I have misplaced themdue to 2 educations and 5 relocations.Now I have landed in Milwaukee working for Rockwell Automation/AllenBradley which is very close to Oshkosh and Broadhead Wisconsin so myinterest in Piets has been renewed. Since Wisconsin winters aree longand cold I purchased woodworking equipment so I could build a cedarstrip canoe, and I have since concluded the logical progression wouldbe a wood airplane.My Dilemma is do I build Jim Maupins Woodstock Glider or BHPietenpol's Aircamper? I hope this list will help me sort things out! ==Matt NaivaPiet1929(at)usa.netEAA MEMBER SINCE 1986Piet plans Holder since 1986________________________________________________________________________________

My canoe is the Prospector from the Canoecraftbook. Next up is the plane. You may want to consider a DunbarWindsor chair for a moaning chair. That is what I am going touse mine for

>OK, this is down-right creepy. I finished building my Prospector canoe>from the "Canoecraft" book in July. I wonder how many other>canoe/boatbuilders do we have out there?I'm not suprised there are lots of boatbuilders out there. Seems like anatural progression.I put together a MacGregor sailing canoe (glued lapstrake), three Dysonbaidarkas (kayaks), and a crappy tortured plywood kayak. Oh, also a strip-built bahama dinghy cradle boat for my daughter. If you're interested,you can see the cradle boat on my daughter's website:(http://home.earthlink.net/~jillnpeter) You have to go to the 1-2 monthssection and then click on the only frame that's missing the thumbnail photo. You can also see Scott Liefeld's Piet on the "adventures" sectionof my daughter's website; click on "plane ride" (the girl stayed onthe ground).By the way, I think some pictures of my kayaks are still up on the Southern CAkayak builder's website: (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/btreecs/).Just go to the kayak registry section.--Peter Frantz________________________________________________________________________________
