Don't remember exactly. There is a publication called the "Shortwing Piper news" which I do not know how to contact, but someone on the list might, which might be the place to put an ad. dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Dick Navratil To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 6:03 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: wing struts Does anyone have a pair of PA-11 wing struts to sell?

Trust me this is a gorgeous airplane. Chuck, works for a major aircraft manufacturer in Wichita. He is probably the most authority in Kansas on the Pietenpol. We spent several hours going over the anomolties that he had found wrong in the plans, plus showed me some improvements that he had made (of which I will make the same). We then went to the airport (cook) and went over the airplane, of which he showed me the modifications of which he made (he had a model a motor, but switched to an a65 continental). We flew in the airplane for about an hour and a half, of which I still have a big smile on my face. He has two videos of which I HIGHLY reccommend you get. I know I have one. It is just a flying pietenpol, and some gorgeous shots of his plane and of Kansas. He also has another video, which I will get later this week of how he put his plane together. He also has some books, that I honestly believe that All pietenpol builders should have (all amature homebuilt). He has a Whitman Tailwind in his garage that he is also working on. I highly suggest that you please goto his website and check it out. He has tons and tons of info that I believe is critical to building a Pietenpol. Chuck's web address is:http://nx770cg.com/ . Trust me you won't be dissappointed. Also I have his website on my links above.
