I did get a couple quick video clips and have uploaded them. However..you better have high speed access if you want to view them as they are huge files....dvd quality, stereo sound. I'm off to Oshkosh this morning, so haven't bothered to compress them for web use, etc. But if you want to take a shot at them try these: http://www.edselmotors.com/MVI_2216.AVI and http://www.edselmotors.com/MVI_2219.AVI Tim in Bovey at Oshkosh == You *can* repair a flip-flop with a capacitor! == Get the free Yahoo! toolbar and rest assured with the added security of spyware protection. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:12:25 AM PST US Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Scenes from Brodhead From: "Bill Church" -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Scenes from Brodhead --> ... Wonder ... why it's builder (I know his name but for the life of me I can't remember it) removed his Air Camper's Model A and replaced it with an A65 or something similar? Jim, Too bad you couldn't make it this year. It was a really good turn-out. I think I counted 18 "Piets" (Air Campers, Aircampers and Scout). The nametags were a fantastic idea - I now have faces to match a lot of the names that keep popping up here on the list. This weekend is such a motivator to get back to building - it's the high point of my summer. Since nobody has offered an answer to your question, I'll give it a shot. First, my disclaimer. I didn't speak with Dennis Hall, and I didn't get inside his hangar to see his re-engined Air Camper (hangar door was closed when I walked past), but I did hear the reason why he's changing out his powerplant. Okay, now that that's out of the way, here's my answer. The story I heard is that he really wants to take passengers up for rides, and he just felt he could not do that with the "A" he had installed. I don't know the exact details (power or reliability or ???). I know Ken Perkins' A-powered Air camper takes passengers up almost non-stop during the weekend, so we know it's a combination that can work very well. As well, the 1934-built "A" powered "Allan Rudolph" Air Camper was also seen taking several passengers aloft (one at a time, of course). Of course, like I said, this is second-hand information, so if anyone out there knows better (or otherwise), chime in. Bill C.

I believe the asking price was 15K. Excellent craftsmanship!! Ken H. Fargo, ND Robert Gow wrote: Is that black one a Aircamper or a Scout for sale?

Nope! - their life, your story. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:25:22 PM PST US From: Tom Winter Subject: Pietenpol-List: Replica Robin? There was a 1989 Kitplanes article about flying the Piet that, as I recall, mentioned Mark Anderson's dad working on a replica, at Brodhead, of the Curtis Robin. (I hope I remember the name right.) Was it ever finished? Anybody have any information about a replica Robin? It's got to be done!! ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 03:52:32 PM PST US From: "Max Hegler" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Scenes from Broadhead Speaking of scenes from Brodhead...I dropped my camera while I was there. It is a Canon SD700 (I think...I have to check the box when I get home). It is in a small case that fits on your belt. If anyone found it, please let me know...I will be glad to offer a reward to get it back.
