Chapter 10 pancakes and a Gas Welding Workshop that same day, otherwise I'd thinkabout it. Barnstormers throws down some good grub. Too many flying events... such a problem to have this early in the season.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet for sale in TX
Pietenpol-List: Piet for sale in TX

For anyone looking to get into a complete and flying Ford A-powered Piet, thereis a nice one for sale in south Texas; a couple of pix attached. Now owned byRon Hollmer, this airplane was originally built by Howard Henderson and waswritten up in the old BPA newsletter, here:http://www.grantmaclaren.com/444mh/index.htmlI have no affiliation with this airplane or its owner other than knowing them as"good people". I believe Ron keeps the airplane in Aransas Pass (Corpus Christiarea). He is asking $12,000 for it, which I believe is a very good price.His phone number is (210) 401-7148 and you can email he or Pat at pestfromfl(at)tampabay.rr.com. Please don't contact me about the airplane! As Schultz from"Hogan's Heroes" used to say, "I know NOTHING!"--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dscn ... ______Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:07:57 -0500 (GMT-05:00)

I was driveing south past the Georgetown airport heading to drop a load in Austinon Sunday, and look up and I swear I see a Piet crossing over I-35. Not easyto do when your suppossed to be driveing a semi and trying to see a small planeoverhead. I was bobtail later that day and am still kicking myself for notheading to the airport to see if a piet was really circleing in the pattern.Any idea who it was?Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:44:12 -0400 (GMT-04:00)

I'm sure Ron would administer a test before permitting a pilot to ferry his airplane.You would have to know what to put in the radiator (radiator?!), how tosay 'pocketa-pocketa-pocketa' real slowly, and be able to tell time with a sundialor hourglass. Corvair guys might have a hard time with those kinds ofthings ;o)--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
