I'm going over to work on the plane in the morning. I've printed your postout and I'll try to answer your questions.The ones I know now are:The going price is what ever someone is willing to pay... I figured it isworth $1000-$1500 with good compression and no logs.(mine too)I don't have a manual yet. I found a guy who did and sent a check buthaven't seen it yet. I've never seen a starter or alternator on one butI've had several 'old hands' tell me 'they made them but who would want theweight?' I'm going to hand start....I'm just about done with a mount patterned off a Cub mount. The Cub mountmight work but I didn't have access to one that wasn't on an airplane totry... Also patterning the engine cowl after a Cub...Greg>> Hi, Greg.>> In answer to your earlier e-mail, that's the same> Lycoming as what I'm getting; an 0-145-B2.

Re: Pietenpol-List: fuselage longerons

Javier, I bought my longerons from Wicks, they shipped to me by truck freight.They are set up to handle these sorts of orders, give them a call and they can help you out. If you do this it helps to have a business address to ship to, it's cheaper that way. They crated it very securely. I'm sure Aircraft Spruce can do that too. I agree with John Langston, I wouldn't splice my original longerons. I'd like to start out with full length pieces. I don't mind splicing in as a repair, I just wouldn't start out that way.Good Luck,Gary Meadows________________________________________________________________________________
