I hit the send button before I finished type, sorry about that. My pointis that here is an engine that should be in abundent supply, with partsavailable that looks like a very good prospect for the Piet. I hope thatothers will either say, Bailey your wrong because, a,b,c... etc. or maybeif enough interest is out there we might have an economical, safe supply ofengines for lots of Piets. TTYLBob B.
