We have the tail feathers and wings painted and ready to start covering the center section. Then start taking motor and gear off fusalege and cover it. Then the reassembly starts. I took some pictures but the lighting on the wing is not good so the yellow is not true to color., it is good on the tail so the wing color is the same. Will see you at Brodhead I hope.

John,The profile of your Piet has been on my bulletin board for close to fouryears! Not to diminish The Chris Tracy method, as it has a proven trackrecord, but for a completed fuselage, you may wish to just prop up thefuselage on saw horses, until you get the desired ramp angle, and cut thelegs to fit. With a table saw, it only takes a couple cuts!Gary from CoolNX308MB-----Original Message-----

Branson is still on the map.We got hit pretty hard down 76 highway with a lot of businesses,motels and restaurants destroyed. Our piet has the tail feathers and wings painted. I put the last fabric on the fuselage saturday so now a little clean up and start the finish. Hoping to see Brodhead this summer. The yellow and blue paint cannot be missed. Have a nice day, Bob________________________________________________________________________________

We finished the painting and will start putting the gear on today. We ordered all new bolts and nuts for everything so all will pass inspection and look good. We started august 2010 so our progress has been good.I figured about 2200 hours so far,(I am retired) It is yellow and a medium blue from stewart system,expensive but it looks good with a nice shine.The wheels are 21 inch all stainless steel with ash gear and I fiberglassed the gear so it looks great. I will send pictures when we progress a little more. It is starting to get exciting now.
