Wow!!!! You guys are great!!!!!! Good to see all the replies!!!!!I am in the U.P. of Mi. , lots of snow here, just got home from Eagle River Wi., watching world champion snowmobile oval racing!!! Great fun!!!! #1. I am leaning more toward Pietenpol plans more than Grega's, One of my A&Pinstructors gave them to me (Grega)when he chose the originals instead. (No offensetoward Grega)#2. Poplar is abundant here where I live, never gave that enough thought, Thanksfor the suggestion.#3. I need to do some more research on the Corvair engine, Could be cheaper than65/85.#4. I think there is one flying out of Marquette Mi. that I could look at, about2.5 hrs away from home. Well worth the ride, as that is where I went to getmy A&P and Private pilot from. Would be great to see the old school again!!!!#5. Have fun guys and keep building!!!!!!!!! Hope to join the ranks soon!!!!!!!Buggy.--------never enough hours in the day.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Cool propeller shapes- need help finding brass tippinginfoDate: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 07:31:02 -0500
