Other times, like when we're in cruise flight with plenty of fuel and nice cool air to fly through, no place to be and no hurry to get there, I feel like anything below the stratosphere is my apple and my Air Camper is my magic carpet, streaking me along at the speed of... the speed of... an Air Camper ;o) > > We speak the same language and we appreciate each other for what we each do to make flying happen.

I "barnstormered" mine, sans engine about 6 yrs ago. Still having the time of my life in it. I built ribs to a Piet before I found this one, but I really dig the idea of finding one that previously flew and bringing it back to flying status. You can have the fun of turning wrenches and getting in the air sooner. I find the andrew king barn find a really interesting project. -------- KLNC A65-8 N2308C Slick 4330's AN Hardware Airframe 755TT W72CK-42 Sensenich Standard Factory GN-1 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=459577#459577 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:44:34 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: imovie test From: Don Heringhaus WHAT A GREAT POST !!!
