Subject: Pietenpol-List: Texas Pietenpols & GN-1sI managed to lose my list of fellow Texans who are building or have built and are flying Pietenpols and GN-1s. If y'all (Texan for you guys or you all) could resend me your details, I'd be much obliged. I'll not trust the data to ahard drive again but will print out addresses, phone numbers and other contact details to leave in my Rolodex this time. I guess it might be nice tohave a list of folks in adjoining states of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. Texans and Southerners can resend me the info at KRSBTV(at)AOL.com (I'd also liketo meet owners in Tucson and Phoenix areas since I occasionally make trips there.)I'm hoping to make the rounds across Texas when the weather is a little more favorable, to take some pictures and video. In return, I'll send everybody I visit a CD or DVD of what I compile. It might be handy to compare notes and builder tips and tricks.I'm still in a quandary what to do with my airplane (now named Frankenstein) and I suppose I might get it flying someday (to be flown by the Village Idiot)or I might part it out and sell off components. I might end up with another Piet and "Frankenstein," if I simply go out and buy a flying specimen in the coming weeks... Time will tell.Thanks,Sterling BrooksKnot-2-Shabby Airport & Texas Longhorn Cattle Ranch(5TA6) San Antonio SectionalNOTAMS... Fresh cow chips on runway. Land at your own risk.

Has anyone talked to him lately? I'd like to look at this and see if he is willing to part company with it, but if it has been sitting aroundfor sometime, the problem with steel is interior corrosion. That's one of several advantages of wood.Thanks for the info on the builders/owners. ________________________________________________________________________________
