Pietenpol-List: Plans and books for sale
Original Posted By: "Gary Boothe"
I have a full set of plans (all the options available for the Pietenpol family)for sale. I paid $260 for them and will take $175, and will include US mailpostage on the plans. I've unrolled them three times. I also have the 1929and 33 Flying Manuals; the 1930, 31, and 32 Flying and Glider Manuals,; the EAAAircraft Welding book; the HP Books' "Welders Handbook"; all 4 of the Tony Bingelisbooks; the EAA "How To" Wood Book, the EAA Welding and Corrosion DVD,and the EAA "Basic Aircraft Woodworking" video. I paid $190 for the EAA books,and will take $90 for the lot. I also have William Wynne's Corvair FlightEngines and the FlyCorvair.com Flight Operations Manual. I paid $84 for the twoWW books, and will take $45 for the pair. I also have Michael Perez's first4 videos, I paid $70 (a bargain) for the group, and will take $25 for all four.I have Mike Cuy's video, which Mike sells for $25 (another bargain), andI will take $10 for it. I haven't copied or in any other way duplicated any ofthese things. I have over-extended myself, and need to part with some thingsthat I won't be able to afford to use for at least 3 years. I would preferto ship by some method that has tracking capabilities (for your and my protection), and is reasonable priced, like the US postal 2day flat rate packaging.I think the minimum is about $5.00 including the tracking, and max of $12.00including the tracking, except for the plans. If anyone is interested in anyor all, please call me at eight zero one - eight seven nine - seven one two four.If you buy all of it, I'll take $325 and I'll pay the postage, and I cantake credit cards through PayPal. I need expense money to move to Baton Rougeto start a new A&P job, that I've been looking for since I finished school May4th. If I had had an inkling it was going to be this difficult to get an A&Pjob, I wouldn't have thought about building an airplane, much less bought allthe prep work things. I'm not sure if I would have started school.--------HOMEBUILDERWill WORK for SpruceLong flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Brian and his brother bought everything except my Piet plans, and the Corvair maintenance/buildersmanual. I felt like a candy store owner with a store fullof kids. I hated to part with the books and videos, but I am sure Brian andhis brother will make good use of them. It feels like that little bit of financialhelp (along with selling a ski lift ticket voucher today that was left fromlast year) relieved enough stress, that I think I will keep the plans, andCorvair build manual. The only regrets I have in life, have to do with partingcompany with various aircraft I have owned over the years. It feels likemy Piet plans, and Corvair build manual are an aircraft and its powerplant I own,that isn't quite totally materialized yet. Thanks everyone for your concernand prayers.--------HOMEBUILDERWill WORK for SpruceLong flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

My Pietenpol plans and the Corvair Flight Engines Manual are really sold now. My car died (quite literally) from natural causes on the way to Baton Rouge, andI sold the plans and WW Corvair Manual to Scott who lives on the south sideof Cincinnatti. Thanks to everyone for their support. when I get back on myfeet, I'll be looking for a Piet project or plans. Until then, I can watch,and maybe get in on someone's project in Baton Rouge.--------HOMEBUILDERWill WORK for SpruceLong flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Plans and books for sale

Gary, I started using the GliderMike handle several years ago on a hang glidingforum. The first time I went to Iraq as a truck driver, the other guys startedcalling me Glider, because that was all I talked about. I brought my paragliderwith me to Baton Rouge, as it doesn't take up much space. The hang gliderneeds a 20 foot long area to store it. I didn't (and still don't) know whatI will have in the way of housing there, and didn't want to have to leave iton top of the car all the time. There are some folks a little west of Houstonthat fly paragliders some, and paramotors a lot more. They use a truck mountedpay out winch system to launch the paragliders. The paramotors are similarto the powered parachutes, but are usually in the ultralight category, and aremore likely to be able to be flown as a glider than the powered parachutes.The Glider moniker is not as bad as it might sound. I use a mechanic orientedemail address when I do "professional" aviation things. Some one else alreadyhad anpmike, so I had to settle for anpmikeg for my "professional" email address.All my "fun" aviation things are still centered around "high and slow"or "low and slow." My GliderMike handle bears some similarity to "Piety" Lowell'smoniker, so it really isn't as bad as it might sound.--------HOMEBUILDERWill WORK for SpruceLong flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
