OK, I'm just the messenger. Contact information on Carl's projects follows=====================================For sale in Huntsville, Alabama (must pick up in the next few weeks).One Pietenpol on gear, maybe 75% complete, but lacking engine and instruments (the red one shown at http://www.krnet.org/piet ). Built by Ray Loritz??? of Chicago. Carl wouldn't have bought it had it not been nice. Price is what Carl paid for it (not counting airline tickets and moving it from Chicago)...$4800.Another white one (unpainted) that's at least 90% done built by mechanical engineer Carl Vought of Huntsville, Alabama (who recently passed away). It's also shown at http://www.krnet.org/piet . The workmanship on Carl's plane is impressive. The Model A engine goes with it. C arl knew as much about aircraft engines as anybody on this planet, and designed and built the "Buddy Twin" two cylinder ultralight engine a few years back. You can rest assured that this engine was meticulously rebuilt, and is all back together except that the head (which appears to be new) isn't bolted on yet. Finishing up the engine was the last hurdle before Carl could fly the airplane, and he had every intention of doing that before pneumonia unexpectedly cut his life short. The price for this one is $8000, which is only the price of parts for which receipts could be found. Everything that looks like it's part of this plane is included.We all know that this is a bargain, so these prices are pretty firm. Please contact Bob Luther at 256-881-2245, or at cell phone 256-508-8533. We would like to sell these planes in their entirety to one or two buyers and call it done, so please don't ask to buy parts and pieces.----------------------------------------------------your messenger,Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________View Athletes Collections with Live Search http://sportmaps.live.com/index.html?so ... ______Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 20:35:02 -0700
