[NSRCA-discussion] YS 140???

[Mike Murphy]

Phil,

I have two YS 140DZ's sitting in my basement collecting dust, I will let one or both go for a VERY reasonable price, They are both extremely strong engines. Contact me if you are interested./

  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...
