Good to know-thanks.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Flight trainingRoger, Now I get to throw out some random ideas. The EAA still has an ultralight organization that has instructors. I would checkthere. I think he will have to travel. Look over at Hobbs, NM. I would also do some calling in Sweetwater and Abilene. San Angelo has a big flyingpopulation (relatively.). The other thought he may look at is finding someone with the most similar trainingaircraft and going there to get the training. It sure is a good idea for him to get training. Ultralights don't require any trainingby reg. But a lot of people have been hurt training themselves how tofly!Blue Skies,Steve D----- Original Message -----

Kevin,It was my pleasure to be your test dummy, no crash included hehe.What an experience, I'm already gearing up for getting some wood soon.Unfortunately I do have some bad news. Two Saturdays ago, our B-25 Yellow Rosewas flying out to Lancaster for a show. Somewhere over Austin the oil pressureon our #1 Wright Cyclone Radial engine (rebuilt last year) began dropping whilethe oil temp on the same engine rose. with this event, the crew shut the enginedown and brought her safely back to KHYI on one engine.So now we're in the midst of figuring out how we can get the engine rebuilt andgetting funding to do so. --------Kelly KlausRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: louvers
