    Fun stufffff.... thanks...... Clarification, however, I am using stainless steel for my firewall and instrument panels. It should hold up better and my experiments with burnishing aluminum just didn't look as good.... I know this may add a couple pounds but Piets are know to be tail heavy so weight up front should not be as problematic. I am saving weight in other areas by using 4130 steel-tube instead of wood for my fuselage and I will be using the "improved" gear also to save a few pounds.......... -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332010#332010

    My low bid was canceled last night and the engine was reposted with a reserve this time. I am hoping to look and hear at it Monday. Its a flying engine, but 250hrs since major back in 1990.

    You folks using eBay need to, if you're not already, use one of the "snipe" tools. I use auctionstealer.com but there are others.

    I'm still here! Thanks for asking. I got buried at work with a perfect storm of grant and paper writing and lectures and new experiments and the dog ate my homework and stuff. I've barely been able to fly the Piet since November. Ah well, sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield. Note that I'm posting from a gmail account these days. My univ account is getting too full of "professional" cr@p and I was missing Piet list posts! :).

    Subject: Out of the Blue
    Listers: I had a unique experience today that I thought I would relate to you. About a week ago our local paper was having a slow news day so they did a front page story about my Piet project in their series covering unusual hobbies. The story was fluff and I am not going to bore you with that. However on Monday a stranger by the name of Robert Bartell walked into my office and said that he had seen my picture and the story about my Pietenpol in the paper and just wanted to meet me and tell me his story. It turns out that his grandfather, one Randy Penner, had an experience with a Pietenpol back in the early 30's. Mr. Penner is a fairly well renouned artist (now deceased) who has a published book entitled "Harvest of Memories." Attached are two pages from the book containing the Pietenpol story and a watercolor of the event by Mr. Penner. Hillsboro is a small Kansas town with a current population of 2,904 - probably more like 1,000 at the time of the story. Mr. Bartell's dad remembers going out to the field with Mr. Penner to watch the big event. Compared with watching the wheat grow this would have been a big crowd pleaser back then. I just wish the story was a little more specific about the date and the name of the aircraft owner. It would be a real hoot to track that plane down and see if it would still be repairable. Note that some liberties have already been taken with the Aircamper design (Oh the Horror!) My eye was immediately drawn to the rounded shape of the vertical stab and rudder. Also, split gear with motorcycle wheels (just like mine) and a Model A engine. Guess he could not afford a Corvair. (Just kidding, the Corvair would not be available until the 60's.) The wing center section has maybe the hint of a flop showing. Enjoy! Tom Stinemetze N328X
