Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] YS 140???

 

Over the past few weeks, I seem to remember a couple fo YS 140's being
listed.  I have gotten started on my 12-year-old Cermark Pitts S2B 1/4
scale, and find that this engine would be just what the doctor ordered.  Are
these engines still available?  Or does someone have one they will part
with.  If so, pleae contact me outside this discussion list.

Turns out, when I was in 3rd grade in 1946, we lived outside Gainesville,
FL, across Archer Road from Stengle Field, a grass airstrip owned by Carl
Stengle.  During that time, Curtis Pitts teamed up with Carl and his flying
school, and was flying a little red biplane out of Stengle field.  I used to
go out and watch him toss that plane all over the sky, little knowing what
Curtis would become.  I have been in touch with Stengle's son, and he
confirmed that the pilot was, indeed Curtis Pitts.  I have been back to
Gainesville, and there is a Steak & Shake where our house was, and a strip
mall in place of the airfield.  Ah, progress.  ;-{(

So I am in the process of re-creating one of my childhood dreams, in
miniature.  Any help on the 140 will be greatly appreciated...
