Anybody on the list know Steve Statkus from Hamilton=2C Ohio? He has three aircraft current on the FAA registry... a Schweizer=2C a Spezio Sport=2C and an Aeronca 7AC. Back in the mid-1990s Kitplanes did a writeup on the Longster that Steve built=2C powered by a 1/2 VW=2C operated out of Fairfield=2C OH. I'm trying to get in touch with him to pick his brain about building the Longster.Thanks=2C and I hope everyone is enjoying a restful holiday weekend.Oscar ZunigaMedford=2C ORAir Camper NX41CC ________________________________________________________________________________

Glen;Of course I have the 1933 Flying & Glider Manual, from whence has come my interestin the Longster to begin with. The plans are in that edition of the F&GMbut Steve built his version using a welded frame rather than the gusseted, pinned,and brazed joints that Les Long used on the original.Thanks for the reply though.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Looking for Steve Statkus
