I have been looking forward for quite a while to having my grandsonvisit on a day when the weather was good for building. That happenedthis last Saturday with my almost 4-year old grandson and his 2.5 yearold sister going with Gramps out to the shop. I had just finished boxing up most of the lower fuselage and could takethe glue clamps off the pilot's seat frame. I turned the fuse rightside up and set Jaedon up on the work table with the intent of laying atemporary board across the seat frame and letting him be the first tosit in "the airplane". He immediately picked up a short board (about 6"long) and laid it sideways across the tail post for the "back wing." I said; "Jaedon, don't you want to sit in the airplane?" He said; " NoGramps! Not enough glue."Hope he doesn't know more about this than Gramps does!Tom StinemetzeThe Airplane Nut____ | ____ 8/ / ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Scimitar Propeller Ken,A few years ago, '58 or'59, I attended a flyin in Waco where I met Ray Hegy. He had a mini biplane named after a Humming bird in Spanish. As I remember, and that's not too good lately, this plane had a true scimtarpropeller.I ordered my prop for 41CC from Hegy but Ray has long been gone and his grandson Jim Corder made me a beautiful semi-scimitar. He also made another for311CC which I sold with the project. Jim has moved from Marfa, Texas to Olathe, Colorado. His phone is 970 323 6341. He just might have some of his grandpas patterns for a full scimitar. Good luckCorky************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
