First, that trip I was going to make to Alabama to pick up Corvair parts is off.Never heard from the guy.....(Robert must have cleaned him out!!!)In the meantime, I received 3 good leads for 110's after one email to the localCorvair club. Ain't technology grand! I've found one, but also followed upon the others for the sake of several of you that asked me to check on bringingsomething back from Alabama for them. I'll let you know when/if I hear backfrom these others......I just scanned and posted an article from the May 1956 issue of Experimenter. (Another cool benefit of having an old timer for a tech counselor, especiallyone that has saved every EAA Experimenter/Sport Aviation/etc publication fromthe beginning....and has a Corvair 110 in his garage waiting for a home.) Anyway,this article has several pages of interesting Pietenpol info - plus a notefrom Bernard Pietenpol....interesting reading.If anyone wants the larger file versions (mykitplane reduces the size of filesto a more manageable web site size), just let me know and I'll email direct.....Jim in Plano......working on one of the most important parts of my successful Pietenpolcompletion......my wife's new kitchen cabinets.....________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 13:10:08 -0500

Jim,I also have not heard back from the guy, although it may be because myemails have been bouncing back as if his email account is no longer valid.This happened to me before while trying to setup a meeting time, it tookweeks to arrange. I doubt very much that he is no longer interested inselling what he has, he may just be experiencing "technical difficulties".If I do make contact, I will let you all (y'all) know.And speaking of your wife's kitchen cabinets... three days after my Alabamatrip, I was ordering my wife a new laptop computer. :)Robert HainesDu Quoin, Illinois
