Pietenpol-List: Joy of Building

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Kenneth Bickers
Dan, in case you don't already know, there is an interesting guy named Howard Brandon with a strip near Murray, KY, just north of your new digs - called "Brandon" on the St. Louis sectional chart. I've met him at Oshkosh and several automotive swap meets. No Pietenpols, but other interesting old airplanes and cars. Worth a visit.

Oh! THAT'S a classic!ClifIt is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. -- Epictetus (c.55-c.135) "The airplane. At first I thought it was a Pietenpol, but then decided it wasn't." I said "Yes, it is a Pietenpol." He said, "No, the wheels are too big."

Every now and then I'm reminded about the rich chest of treasuresthat we have in Chris Tracy's WestCoastPiet site. I was scroungingaround this morning trying to find a good representative pictureof the Ford A engine installation to show a non-flying friend howthe radiator is set up in the Piet, and I went to go retrieve acouple of representative samples. Dan Helsper's, Larry Williams'...and then I remembered Ken Perkins.If you ever want to just gaze at a picture of a beautiful enginesetup, just gaze at "orange Piet". Classic, beautiful setup(but not to detract from the others!)http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Ken ... t.jpgThere are hundreds, perhaps thousands of emeralds, rubies, anddiamonds just waiting among the photos at WestCoastPiet...Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 06:40:18 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Joy of Building
