Nobody else would have done that if he hadn't and if you count all of his time answering mail, transcribing text, going to the printer, compiling issues and photos, the lousy $10 per year cost probably just barely covered his expenses, IF that. So Chris, you lost say $7.50. You can't get a small pizza with two toppings for that much, but look at the valuable jewels of information that were contained in those 10 years of BPAN publications. Perhaps some are due money but if you put this all in perspective, how much do you fork out for AOPA and EAA and such per year ? Some are due money, I don't question that. What bothers me is that the guy did this for GRATIS basically and did one hell of a job, and as soon as the guy stops and doesn't send some refunds he's worth dog crap to you. Hmmmm........glad I didn't take over the newsletter as Grant was hoping I would.

Mike, I can probably live without that $10, who knows, but a crook is a crook and stealing is stealing no matter what contributions were made in the past of which I received 0. I would be the last one to sectionalize this thing I,m sure you all know but to be beat out of some cash by a rebel is one thing but getting it put to you by a cheatinYankee is more than I want to absorb.

On what Grant contributed to the newsletter was more than just throwing together a bunch of paper mail letters and e-mails and photos. Way more. Grant is an expert with old Ford engines and between he and Howard Henderson, they built 44MH in St. Louis with a strong Ford that is still running today. Grant contributed tons of excellent information himself in the newsletters on building tips that he and Howard discovered along with mucho technical expertise and advice on building up a good Ford engine for use in the Air Camper. (not to mention associated info he provided on carburetion and ignition systems.) The NEW Brodhead Pietenpol Association news is put together by non-aviation or Ford people and contains 1/10th the meat and potatoes of the old newsletters and in fact re-prints some of what Grant had in his old newsletters. (that is how they are scrapping for info) Grant was also the one, along with Bill Rewey who made things happen with EAA for us to display 17 of our Pietenpols on the flightline at EAA Oshkosh 1999. Did you see who picked up the ball for the 75th Anniversary this year ? NOBODY. Thanks Grant, for helping out for the 70th.

The contributions that Grant MacLaren made to the Pietenpol movement over a TEN YEAR period by being the editor, publisher, and mailing house for the BPAN newsletter were simply fantastic. Nobody else would have done that if he hadn't and if you count all of his time answering mail, transcribing text, going to the printer, compiling issues and photos, the lousy $10 per year cost probably just barely covered his expenses, IF that. So Chris, you lost say $7.50. You can't get a small pizza with two toppings for that much, but look at the valuable jewels of information that were contained in those 10 years of BPAN publications. Perhaps some are due money but if you put this all in perspective, how much do you fork out for AOPA and EAA and such per year ? Some are due money, I don't question that. What bothers me is that the guy did this for GRATIS basically and did one hell of a job, and as soon as the guy stops and doesn't send some refunds he's worth dog crap to you.

On the back cover of issue 61 which is 4th quarter 1998, it is apparent that Grant had no intention of going beyond "1999/12" but he does indicate a willingness to take 10 bucks for 4 issuesin 1999. He does say "Do not extend subsciptions past Dec., 1999!" on the back cover of 62 and 63. He does give renewal amounts for 1, 2, 3, or 4 issues on the back of issue 61. Issue 61 is the 4th quarter of 1998 and that is when I renewed, on 12/31/98. I sent him my 10 bucks on 12/31/1998. He cashed it, sent me two more issues and then kept the rest. My Mother never taught me to do acts like this, no matter how much help I may be towards others. It is plain not right. He could easily have sent me a check for 5 bucks back, less the stamp, and do the same for all the other subscribers. Or at least ask us to donate the amount to defray other costs he had over the years. He simply absconded with the funds and has not shown himself since. His reply, as printed below is just not the truth as I and many others see it. As you appear to be his attorney, why don't you ask him if he would release the old newsletters to public domain to settle the poor reputation he has amongst us. Chris with hundreds of volunteer, unsung hours for many aviation causes over the years Chris-- here is Grant's side of the story: "About the claims of my "stealing" money from the BPA -- For many months (2 years?) I published statements saying "do not extend your subscription beyond 'such-and-such' a date." (We are currently packed to move and I don't remember the actual dates.) Many people sent payments anyway. Their checks were not cashed. That was easier than paying for postage to return their unwanted checks. I am not much interested in saying the same thing over and over, but if there are people who say I didn't contibute to the Pietenpol movement, why not ask them to contribute to the current movement? It seems to need something more than gripes." -Grant- ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 04:00:10 PM PST US From: "walt evans" Subject: Pietenpol-List: How cheap can we ALL get?

As my good father taught me" never say anything about anyone unless it is good". I want to extend my apology to Mr. Grant Mc for the cruel names toward him I made earlier today. He is totally innocent of taking my $10 and I publicly state so. I have spent the last few hours going through old checks and cannot find one I sent to him that was cashed. So he merely tore it up and went on his way which he is priveledged to do. Not easy to beg forgiveness, especially from a Yankee, but I hope he reads this and understands my feelings.

My mere presence on any bulletin board I take part in is enough to have everyone at each others throats. It is happining on a "busnuts" bulletin right now, and I fear there will be bloodshed over there. It happened on the Twin Comanche forum when I inquired as to certain aspects of the landing gear of the twinkie and was promptly called an idiot for asking the question in the first place. After my first Brodhead visit, I came away very impressed with the comraderie of the Pietenpol group. Since I am "buying" a plane, I will consider myself unfullfilled and pretty much not worthy to sit at the front of the bus with most of you, but I hope I will be welcome, nonetheless. When I started lurking around the various Pietenpol sites, I was pretty impressed with all the work this Grant McClaren guy seemed to be about to put together and make very presentable. My hat is off to him. I don't wish to get into the fisticuffs on this, but I will tell you I was impressed......still am. Since Chuck wouldn't allow me to squeeze my fat self into his front cockpit, I decided I better take matters in my own hands. So, in about two weeks, a trailer will head east to Waynesboro, VA and haul back Howards plane. I will figure out how to fly it a little bit at a time. I intend to become more active as time and y'all allow. I talked to Howard by phone this morning and he was very helpful with my questions about the plane and it's engine. I used to check into the EAA ham radio net many years ago and chew the rag with Howard and many others..... So, I appologize for the jinx and resultant curse I have put on this forum. ===== Larry Nelson Springfield, MO Beechcraft Bonanza V-35B N2980A 1963 GMC 4106-1618 SV/ Spirit of America ARS WB0JOT __________________________________ ________________________________ Message 20 ____________________________________ Time: 06:16:08 PM PST US From: TomTravis@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: I am a bulletin board jinx!

Do you hope someday to own or fly or touch or sit in an Air Camper? #7. Do you like Coronas? If you answered "yes" to any above question, you are qualified. Your "ID" card will be mailed along with information to the "secret" TACO handshake as soon as I receive your picture.

Bert, It is a dye that is added to the fuel so that it can identified specifically as 100LL aviation fuel. There used to be other colours including purple for the 100/145 octane and red for the 80 octane. There was a 100 octane at one time that I believe was green. It had more lead than 100 Low Lead hence the LL added to the 100LL as this is a carryover from the old days. The other reason for the dye is that it is useful as a leak indicator. If you see the goop accumulating, then there is a leak or seep there. The fuel evaporates but the dye will not. I lost 12.5 gallons once out of a bad seal on the Cessna 140 sump drain and all I had left for the 30 bucks of fuel was a blue dot. A good reason to always check the tank level by looking in the tank because I was convinced I had the fuel.....and something was wrong with the indicator.

There used to be other colours including purple for the 100/145 octane and red for the 80 octane. There was a 100 octane at one time that I believe was green. It had more lead than 100 Low Lead hence the LL added to the 100LL as this is a carryover from the old days. The other reason for the dye is that it is useful as a leak indicator. If you see the goop accumulating, then there is a leak or seep there. The fuel evaporates but the dye will not. I lost 12.5 gallons once out of a bad seal on the Cessna 140 sump drain and all I had left for the 30 bucks of fuel was a blue dot. A good reason to always check the tank level by looking in the tank because I was convinced I had the fuel.....and something was wrong with the indicator.

In an effort to offer some much needed RELIEF from the last dozen or so posts, I'd like to ask a question. What is the bluish-green residue that seems to find it's way into and around anything associated with 100LL gas? I've seen this stuff show up around the gascolator, on the firewall (and belly) below the gascolator. I had a 150 for 4 years and NEVER saw this stuff. I'm running a Stromberg on my A-65 . Does this stuff collect and form within the carb bowl or just where it meets free air? I've also seen it collect around the intke of a motorcycle carburetor (when I used a little to run the engine). It sure makes a mess. Is there anything that will get it off of WHITE Polytone paint. (short of using MEK) Then I'll have to re-paint anyway.

Near 300 planes last year I believe. Just a BIG grass strip in the middle of nowhere, the fly-in is a weekend event late in October (last weekend every October, I believe). There is plenty of food on site, and you can camp there or take a shuttle to a nearby hotel if you aren't that adventurous. I don't mind tents, but the lack of showers means I'll be staying in a hotel. I'll probably fly down from Grayson on Friday or Saturday morning. More info: http://www.globalair.com/discussions/Georges_Hangar/article~/msgID=363 Thanks for the information, its good to hear about so many under construction! I'll have to make the rounds before long and see some of these projects. I'd like to see your videos, what is the best way to get them? My e-mail should be able to handle at least a 30Mb attachment if you want to send them direct: steve@wotelectronics.com. Thanks for the information!

Hi Steve, There's one down a few miles south of Dallas at O'brien Airport (Mike King's GN1) and one at Lancaster, DL Grammont's Pietenpol Air Camper. One under construction by Tom Travis and Jeff Hill and I'm building one here in Plano. Also, near Grandview (SW of Ft Worth) Hank Styne just completed his a few months ago. Has just a few hours on it. Don't know about rides around here but I can tell you it will be a treat. I took videos of my first rides, in a Moedl A powered Air Camper and an A65 powered Air Camper, and comverted them to mpegs. I would be glad to share the mpegs if you like. I've never even heard of Reklaw but will sure look it up!

How many are around here? I'm pretty sure that in 6-12 months I'll be looking for one, but I haven't really been around them a lot, and have never had a chance to fly in one. I'd be glad to buy someone's lunch and gas in exchange for a ride. It would be nice to get to know a few owners as well. I did see an Air Camper and a Sky Scout at the Reklaw fly-in last year, does anyone here ever make it to Reklaw? Thanks for any information! Steve Ruse Irving, TX ---
