We could also put you up for the night if you're not too fussy about the condition of our guest/junk room. It's a long drive from here to Mpls. - about 14 hrs. - I know, I did it this summer - & getting around Chicago is a pain in the butt. BTW, Wanchese is not far from Kitty Hawk. It used to be the primary commercial fishing boat harbor on the Outer Banks, not sure about that now. Everyone have fun at the '100th' - wish I could be there.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "hjarrett" <hjarrett@hroads.net> Chris, If the A-50 is like the other Continentals he just made a major discovery. The cylinders don't come off easy. They are probably the WORST part of a rebuild. I live in Virginia Beach and have hangars at PVG and SFQ. If you can get the engine up to the Virginia Carolina border you can store it in one of my hangars and maybe we can leap frog it back to you. Takes a longer time but shipping and storage are free. Better yet get away from those Minneapolis winters and come down where the weather is grand in the winter (50 today and sunny). Around mid February this place will look like the Bahamas to someone from your part of the country. We haven't had snow last past noon the day it falls more than a couple of days in the last 20 years. Either way I can store it for free and we can work out the rest of the trip if you are interested.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: dave rowe <rowed044@shaw.ca> I agree with DJ, although I have never ordered wood from AS&S, I have ordered several books. I have repeatedly told them to mark the customs forms as containing books, and not aircraft parts, as there is no duty on books, but they still did so. There is far too much competition out there looking for my business for me to bother with them again.
