I really enjoyed the Kitplanes article on Jim Malley's Piet. It's a beauty. Really interesting story about starting the build of it in a tiny apartment=2C too.I'm a technical nit-picker so bear with me on this one. The caption on the first page of the story=2C the picture of the engine=2C says it's a 98-hp Ford Fiesta engine. This is incorrect and what the author meant was what he says two pages later when he calls it a 98-cubic-inch engine. This results in the nominal 1600cc displacement of the Fiesta engine.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio=2C TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 10:33:25 -0700

Bill,It's amazing how the press works.I, at one time had a writer from a local newspaper ask to do a story on me and my homebuilt airplane.She talked to me directly, with no middle person.When the article came out, she had made these amazing statements about me being an instructor for 30+ years, and other bizzare things.No, I've never had my instructors rating. Don't know where that came from.It's kind of disturbing when you read the morning newspaper for the truth.Go figure.walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----
