It is sad to find out that Larry Harrison had a catistrophic accident inhis Poplar Piet. The most I could find out was that the passenger waskilled and that Larry was in the hospital in Tallahassee Fl. I was notable to find any other details. Any thing new I will post it to thelist.

Does anyone KNOW what happened to Larry Harrison and his "Poplar Piet"? I havea friend who has met him a few times and has heard rumors that theairplane is no more but would like to know what the real scoop is.On a related note, whose Piet was it at OSH in the fly-market that had obviouslycrashed recently and was for sale in pieces? Bad looking wreckage and lots ofnegative karma surrounding it. Thanks,Larry"A tailwind serves to make a short field shorter" Paine________________________________________________________________________________

Larry's doing very well now. He's back at full steam after several weeks ofrecovery. I saw him Saturday (my plane is at his hangar) and he's workingon a Boredom Fighter now. It's awesome . It's painted up like a world warI fighter (British markings) and is powered by a 1999 S-10 engine. It isnearly complete.I'll try to post some pictures if I can rememmber to do it.Poplar Piet did indeed have a 2.5 L Chevrolet engine on it (without areduction drive). I was not there that day so I don't think I'll speculateon the cause. Poplar Piet was destroyed (but there are lots of little partsthat will continue flying on other planes).Larry's a real "builder"and a heck of a guy. This is his 5th airplane andanyone that's ever met him appreciates his knowledge and skill.Bert----- Original Message -----
