Greg: there is one thing that I have found and that is, whether you build one fromscratch or just make some minor mods or repairs, the feeling when you hopin and get it in the air again is the same. You'll see ;o)--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Deanie Montgomery
Pietenpol-List: Deanie Montgomery
Original Posted By: "Cuy, Michael D. (GRC-RXD0)[Vantage Partners, LLC]"
Time marches on. Some of you may recall that I have had a fellow named DeanieMontgomery overhaul several Stromberg carbs for me. Reading the list of namesin "Gone West" in the most recent issue of Sport Aviation, I saw Deanie's namethere and just like that, he's gone. Last time I spoke with him on the phone(I don't think he ever had email) he mentioned that he was starting work onan Air Camper and a Corvair for it.Here's an obit from the Corsicana, Texas "Daily Sun":http://corsicanadailysun.com/obituaries ... Montgomery . If anybody is near Corsicana and knows if Deanie had actually started a Piet project, maybe you can post an update here.Enjoy what you're doing while you still can. I can't wait to get Scout back home(just about 4 weeks till that happens). This Thanksgiving will include givingthanks for my wonderful wood and fabric Scout.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
