Howdy, low 'n' slow fliers; today's mail brought the latest issue of Doc and DeeMosher's "BPA Newsletter", and it's another good one. Always nice to receiveit, read it, look at the pictures, and enjoy Piets new and old. This issuehas a striking wedding photo of Bernard Pietenpol and his then-new wife, andwhat a handsome couple they made. So unlike today's splash-and-dash "marriages",eh?I have emailed Doc about a classified ad that he placed in the back of this issue,offering a 90% complete Air Camper less engine. He doesn't usually do toomuch emailing so I thought I'd ask if anybody on the list knows anything aboutthis project. I assume that it's his own, since his name and phone number aregiven, but I'd appreciate any info on it. See, I just got my newly overhauledA75 engine and that means I now have two engines and one Piet ;o)PS, in between the afternoon's galloping summer thunder squalls, I took 41CC upfor a recon mission and some landing practice. Airplane and pilot both completedthe mission well and dutifully, and all onlookers were pleased to see theairplane out defending the northwest corners of Bexar County, Texas. Two interloperswere spotted... a Diamond DA-20 and a V-tailed Bonanza, but both leftthe area hastily after they saw 41CC's colors ;o)Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2008 09:42:19 -0700 (PDT)
