I bought a spruce kitfrom them a few years ago. It is still sitting in my hangar in Perry, NY andis for sale. I think that there was also a lumber yard in Oshkosh that sold spruce.

I shipped them both to a rebuilder wholater called me and told me neither were any good. That is why I shy away fromthe blocks. Many have been overheated and cracked, I was told. So I made anew rule with myself: The engine has to be at least be running before I get myhopes and expectationstoo high. However, I will keep you in mind if all elsegoes south. I appreciate your time. ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Want to Build a Corvair Piet?

Hi Pieters:Problems getting a medical certificate force me to give up my Pietproject. I never cut any wood but did accumulate a large library ofmanuals and books from the EAA, the old CAA, General Motors/Corvair,etc. I have 17 titles, too many to list. Included are all of theBingelis books from the EAA. I have Corvair related titles includingWilliam Winn's Conversion Manual. I also have both the Pietenpol and theGrega version plans. I don't know if it's possible but I'd like to sellthe whole package to one person. If you have been lurking out in theweeds now is the time to start. I'm located just north of Boston. If youare in this area, come on by and take a look!Rather than clutter up the Matronics server with a long list (3 pages)and create unnecessary traffic, I'd be happy to provide anyone with alist. Shoot me an email at jayejay(at)comcast.net .Regards,John Joyce________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Spruce and Model A engines

I am near Williamsport, PA...very close. It wouldn't be that hard for me to come get them. Are the blocks rebuildable? Are there any other parts, like heads, carburetors, etc.?Ron________________________________________________________________________________

Ron, you need to go to Hershey today. I was there yesterday at the car show and there must be at least one million (no exaggeration) model A engines and all of the parts you could ever want.Gene ----- Original Message -----

I don't understand how Light Sport can be ending flying careers? If you go to your own doctor BEFORE you go to the FAA Medical examiner you will know whether you can pass your flight phyical or not. Why take a chance.?Just my two cents worthGene----- Original Message -----
