I am now the proud owner of a GN-1. Bought it in Winsted Minnesota from Felix Quast.It was registered 1998 and has 214 hours on it. Has an A65 and a metal prop.Felix is a big guy, 240 lbs and the metal prop helped with the CG. We gotit to West Virginia on a trailer, so now we have to put it back together. Hopeto be flying it within the month.I want to thank Dick Navratil who helped with the inspection and loading up inMinnesota. He also put us up at his house and provided the Leinenkugel's. Withouthis help the GN-1 would still be in Minnesota. THANKS DICK!!!The plane was started by Henry Gobin of N Attleboro MA and Donald E Boyd in 1981.Does anybody know these gentlemen?SkipSkip-Cinda Gaddcsfog(at)earthlink.netEarthLink Revolves Around You.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: nostalgic VHS formatMike,You are so right when it comes to builder's distractions. Its hard enough to get things done the way it is with everything turned off. I even find myself turning off my radio because I can't think through a problem when its on.When I get back to some routine work, I'll turn it back on again. I just bought a cool new tool. Combination lathe/milling machine from Grizzly. Only $1200.00 delivered! They even had cheaper models than that. Thisis one good thing about getting these in from Taiwan. Now even guys like me can afford them. Now I can make my wheel hubs with ease and precision.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.________________________________________________________________________________
