Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Original Posted By: Michael Perez
Here is another something to get us into the Brodhead state of mind. I was goingthrough some of my old photo albums and pulled out some pictures I took therein 1983. This was the year after my father bought a partially completed GN-1Aircamper project so we drove up to Brodhead for the day. I apologize forthe quality. Since my scanner is no longer working I used a digital camera totake pictures of the pictures. Maybe someone can shed some light on the aircraft in the pictures. - The under-construction picture with the radial engine was one that really caughtmy eye. - As I recall, the shot of the Corvair engine being hand propped has a crowd behindit because it was not starting. There was plenty of suggestions on how toget it started. I believe they did eventually get it running.- I looked up the FAA registry on N3265 in the taxiing shot and it was exportedto England in 1990.See you all there next week,--------David GallagherZodiac 601 XL-B: flying, 200+ hours nowNext project under construction: AircamperRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/brod ... ______Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 06:46:19 -0700 (PDT)

Very cool pictures Dave,The 929 picture is the Ted Davis, Dick Weeden and Francis Saunders LaBlondPiet. I believe it is still on the field with an A model. Jack Cox wrote anarticle in Sport Aviation April 1990 including this Piet.The 730 picture is Duane Tulba's Piet. That is his brother in law TimShefjak with the prop. That Corvair with blower fan could be hard to start.Duane brought it to Brodhead for over 10 years, but don't think it hasflown in a while. Duane and Tim still come to Brodhead.The 996 picture is Verl Deal's Corvair Piet, it came to Brodhead a lot ofyears and Verl still comes. As of last year he was still working on anotherCorvair Piet for his son in law, good guy.Skip> [Original Message]
