Walt,,, I have a RST intercom that I put together and have used for years.
It's a great kit and fun to put together. All of Jim Weir's stuff is good.
He use to,still may, write the electronics article for Kitplanes mag.
Lot of good stuff on his web site.
Carl

I added a spread sheet to the Pietenpol page within my web page that
accounts for all of the Pietenpol's that I have been able to find. My
interest is primairly pre-war airplanes but as that only tells part of the
story I am interested in listing all of the airplanes (completed only) for
which I can find details. Anyway, if anyone out there has an airplane they
would like to add to the list, or additional information on one that I
already list please contact me directly (ksholcomb@mindspring.com)
My page is at: http://www.angelfire.com/va2/aerodrome/
