<font face="Arial">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.<br>
<br>
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. ;-{(<br>
<br>
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...<br>
