Dan asked:>Are there any new Piets on track for first arrival at Brodhead 2011?Define "new". We're talking about a 1929 design here ;o)The year 2011 will be my best shot at ever making it to Brodhead withScout since I will turn 60 on July 28 and that buys me all kinds ofsympathy with my wife. I've had the charts and routes all planned forseveral years but may make some minor tweaks to the route next yearsince I will probably fly two-up with my hangar mate Craig Wall and heis a Tulsa boy. May have to veer into Markle territory.Craig is re-engining his Cassutt and has promised to let me fly itwhen it's back in the air. I have dreamed of flying a Cassutt eversince my old instructor Charlie used to fly his little screamer,"Hiccup", at my old home base of Laredo International.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Looking for Fairchild N81288 (off-topic)When I (meaning my wife) decided we should move up to a 4 seat airplane from my1959 Cessna 150, I started looking at anything with 4 seats. So I called thisguy trying to sell a Fairchild 24R (with the Ranger engine, inverted.) Once Ifound out that they would carry 4 but not too fast and engine parts were hardto find, I told the guy I was not interested. Though I complemented him on theplane. He insisted on flying it up from central OK to Enid and showing it to me. So Iwent out. What a beautiful bird. car type doors, tall and stately. the invertedranger engine looks neat. But still a 110 MPH plane drinking 13 GPH. Neat Plane, Great antique.Blue Skies,Steve D----- Original Message -----
