Check out : http://www.eaa.org/ Mike. It's a site devoted to the EAA
organization that oversee's the world of homebuilding. And
incidently, runs the worlds biggest airshow every year. That's bigger
than any commercial airshow in the world, and it started with guys
building homebuilt airplanes.

Didn't P...... (can't spell his name) build the first one that started
EAA in his basement?

If there's a will, there's a way.

Heh heh, not literally. The Wright brothers built the first one.
Thanks for that straight line though. :-D

The Pietenpol also came before Paul Poberezny, but Paul helped bring
the disparate builders together into an organization. He ended up
being the president for a number of years and pretty much gave the
organization it's life. If asked about those days, he's been quoted
as saying that he never in his life imagined it would build to what it
is today.
