Remember in past discussions that Bernard REALLY liked the prop Al made for him. http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/filesList2.cfm?AlbumID=5 The file is down the page, #4, Very long PDF. Worth every penny. Clif---- Remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous? < Chuck, > Where can I get a copy of Cluton's book?

We don't want any more planes burning up from backfires." so it was done. Planes fell out of the sky at an alarming rate. New problem, carb ice. Any possibility of a backfire in that lovingly built sonex? Do I want my Piet flying to pieces on the ground or falling out of the sky silently? Listen to Uncle Pat. Clif
