Brodhead Pietenpol Association

I am looking to buy the manual. I purchased the plans years ago and need the manual. The Pietenpol family sells the manual but they won't sell to Canada at the present time because of the ongoing trade / tariff issues .

Thanks,
Onexmike

In my opinion, things like experimental aviation and the enjoyment of the airplanes that we build and fly should transcend politics.

Well said Oscar

There is nothing political in his post. It is very matter of fact. He needs build manual...can't get it from the normal source due to external factors. Is asking for help.

Clay; my apologies if it came off sounding like I was referring to the questioner in any sort of disparaging way. I was in fact referring to the Pietenpol family, who hold such a rich treasure but are troubled about sharing it with Canadians due to the current trade tensions. I myself would be happy to purchase a manual from the family and send it to Onexmike as a gift and as an expression of the respect and fondness that I think all American aviators share with our Canadian pilot and builder friends and families. Onexmike can contact me offline at taildrags@hotmail.com to discuss this further with only amiable intentions on my part. I have been blessed so very much and am happy to help in this matter.
