| Subject: | Corvair college #21 |
Fellow Piet builders/flyers,
While no flying Pietenpols showed up [ mine is based here on the
airport ] we did have many Piet builders and potential builders on hand.
Many came seeking information on building and also learning about
corvair engines. Learning about engines was easy as there were 10
completed and test run during the weekend. Others were in various stages
of completion by Sunday afternoon.
Don Harper, Tim Freer and I held a "building tips" type forum on
Saturday afternoon in my hangar. I also gave many rides in my Piet. I'll
send pictures to Doc and Dee for the newsletter.
One thing I particulary wanted to mention was that among the 70
attendees was a gentleman by the name of Chuck Campbell who brought his
partially completed corvair engine that he plans to put on the Pietenpol
he is building. One might ask, whats unusual about that?
Chuck is 87 years old, flew F-6's in WWII.
If Chuck can do all that at 87, that should be inspiration enough to
keep younger builders going.
P. F. Beck

Larry Williams posted his thoughts on this topic several months ago. I will attempt
to paraphrase, though I will not be as eloquent. (BTW: Larry has a gorgeous
A Model Piet he flies on remarkably long cross countries.) His point was
that if you're new to the list, you may not know what the backstory is on a lot
of what gets discussed. He also pointed out that any moderating that gets
done usually occurs from one of the informal "senior" members. If you relax,
read the posts, spend some time in the archives and mind your business, you'll
figure out who those people are. If you haven't been on the list for several
years you're probably not one of them.
This list has been self-moderating for a long time.
do not archive
