I'd like to introduce myself to everyone on the Pietenpol list. My name is Larry Morlock and I'm the person Douwe Blumberg referred to as having a new Pietenpol project in Columbus, Indiana. In fact, I have the privilege of acquiring the Model A engine that was in Douwe's Piet.My project is not exactly new. I acquired it as a partially completed project in 1993, worked on it for a couple of years and then it languished for about 15 years until I retired last year. I've put a lot of time into it since then. The attached photo shows it as I was doing a preliminary weight and balance. The wing is now covered with fabric and I'm about to start the enviable job of rib stitching.I've enjoyed reading the Pietenpol list entries for the last few months, and Douwe convinced me to start contributing to the conversation. I plan to be in Brodhead this year so hope to meet up with others on the list. Larry Morlock________________________________________________________________________________
