Hi Jim et all:First of all let me apologize to the list for not properly introducing myself first. I just came across the e-bay listing for that "thing" andthought I ought to pass it along at least for the amusement of theparticipants here. I have been lurking and receiving the digest form of thelist for some time now and just switched over to the real time list so I canreceive the photos I have been missing up to now.At any rate, yes I have more than a passing interest in the Pietenpol. Ihave started on a GN1, if you can call getting the fuselage sides jig built.Yes, I know to purist the GN1 is not the real thing but I have had the plansfor I think something like 10 yrs. I came across DJ Vegh's site and itserved as inspiration to do what ever I have to do, to get started on myown. So I have nothing much to show yet. I had originally intended to builda Jodel DR1050 (
http://community.webshots.com/album/147451245dhnmgI ) Butfor now I have chosen something a bit more basic and generally affordable. Ihave a 110 hp Corvair engine pictured in the above link w/ all the rightnumbers and specs. I also just scored from e-bay, a N.O.S. crank for theCorvair as modified by Mr. Pietenpol himself w/ the hub and safety shaft.Can you believe only $125.00? .I live just outside of Portland where I make a living as a carpenter. Mostlyfinish work, cabinetry and stair work. But sometimes we gota-do what wegota-do to put food on the table and pay the note on the house. And it is anew one to us, and has a fantastic 2 story gambrel roofed garage that housesmy wood shop upstairs and is a suitable location to build my dream. Though Ihave been living here in the US for nearly 25 yrs I am a native of Venezuelaand thus Spanish is my mother tongue.So for now I will most likely just sit and listen, and learn as much as Ican form the folks on the list, until I have a question of some sort.Kind regards:Michael Silvius in Scarborough, Maine.----- Original Message -----

Actually, Skip, they were published by Fawcett publications. You really needto see some originals as they have a lot more stuff in them.ChrisBraumeister und Inspektor der Flitzer und Flitzermotoren ----- Original Message -----
