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.

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 -------- Kevin "Axel" Purtee NX899KP Austin/Georgetown, TX Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=358619#358619 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
