I don'twant to distract you from your current project, but if you want a copy I'dbe glad to send them to yo. Looks like a pretty neat and easy bit of construction.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 12:11:50 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: First Cuts...

Just stumbled across some photos of major flooding of an airport near Memphis,right beside the Mississississippi River.Here's the flooded airport:http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoeyesate ... 015211/And here's the same satellite image three weeks before the flooding:http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoeyesate ... 570318/And what was inside some of those hangars?Well, one hangar had a Curtiss Robin and a Pietenpol:http://www.flickr.com/photos/45071839@N02/5716740589/A quick check on landings.com did not produce any results for N40NN.What a shame. Hopefully things can be salvaged.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Flooding mess
