    --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" <dsavarese@elmore.rr.com> Tim, I'm not sure if Carl/Jill can overhaul your compressor. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask. I believe Doug Sapp, Carl/Jill may have them in stock as well as Steve Culp of Culps Specialties in Shreveport, LA. Steve advertises on Ebay with a lot of M14 parts including compressors. Steve may also have the shear couplings in stock.

    some guy in Tx bought if from auction, mysteriously came up and fixed the rudder and elevator, canopy and prop disapeared, then new tires and a tail wheel showed up, then metal plates over the holes in wings and elevator appeared and I heard it took off from the airport on Thurs while I was at work, couldn't believe it.

    Me personally, no way in hell would I have flown that plane, but after this guy doctored it up at bit, it looked flyable, but with the holes patched with a sheet of metal and like four big spikes sticking out of it??? Never seen that before, maybe that is a temp fix to holes in wings. Anyway yeah, I bought Dave Hermance's 55 in late July. (Formerly called Olga, now Ivan) Love it and now HE is N572ST ( my personalized N #) :) Ivan and I are in love :) Roger Kemp <viperdoc@mindspring.com> wrote: Smash, Would you have felt comfortable flying her/he after what it went through?
