Subject: Pietenpol-List: Steve BeasleyHI, the other Mike C. and Chuck: Steve Beasley had written severalnotes in the old Buckeye newsletter (before Grant). I met him once atthe EAA meeting at Ellsworth, then again at a function at Wiebie"sairport at Halsted. At that time he had a Model B engine and not muchmore. This was a few years ago. Maybe he is doing something now. YahChuck I've noticed the good fall flying weather. In fact I just hang myhead and cry when I think that I should be up there. I still have thedirections to your hangar. I'll get there one day. I promise. AfterBrodhead and Osh. I got my ass in gear and built my right (2nd) wing.I don't know if Brodhead inspired me or if I just realised I needed toget with it. I worked most weekends and an hour or so each day fromearly Aug. until a week ago when It is 98% done. I hope to get a coupleof good weekend days with no rain so I can stick the wings on, stringthe cables and measure for the struts before it gets too cold to work onit. EAA ch 88 is at Webies-Halsted this mo. I am going to be therearound noon after I get a little shut eye. Maybe you two could get overthere. Yoder is our Amish community Chuck. It's next to Hutchinson. Seeyou in the air. Leon S.________________________________________________________________________________

Hate to read this, but life does go on. As an update on the Big Piets, we have wings on now and are plumbing the engines. Still have a lot to go, but the end is in sight. Still wearing the Big Piet T-Shirts, thanks for your help on the logo.Barry Davis ________________________________________________________________________________

Get round tubing and streamline it with balsa and wrap it with fabric tape. Then it will be cheap and look more authentic.Gene ----- Original Message -----
