Dr. Williamson's Scale Model Pietenpol

Steve Williamson's brother submitted this - pictures & text of his scale model Pietenpol

We thought our members would be interested.

 

Steve,
As you can see, I'm moving along fairly well with my "Little Piet", 1/8 scale.  Just about ready to start on the wings. 


Wheel rim from PVC pipe

Lots of fun trying to drill 9 holes in the little washers!

Ready to lace spokes 
 



I'm starting to make engine noises!

It's getting near to a point where I need to begin covering some of the parts.  Have you decided on a color scheme?  And I assume you don't get registration numbers until the airplane is complete, right?
 
Hope all is well,
 
Alan
