RE: Ed Kecks pattern planes
Mark - I am not sure of the Eureka kits. A guy called me this week, wants to get together down in the W. Palm area, an old pattern flyer, he just bought an Eureka short kit, I think Cruare, dunno. Thanks for the digging on Jimmy. I worked at World Engine's with Dave Brown back in those days. Jimmy would come to the Manufacturer's Invitational, put on by WE. We would get Craig Asher, the engine guy from WE out there, to help Jimmy with the RV ST's he was running, they could never get a good idle with the RV carb's.
The P-7. Yes, I won it, nice kit, and epoxy fuse. I have never heard that Bridi was kitting that plane ? Skyglas or Airborne Associate's was all I knew. A week ago, an RCU member, JPal, put up an epoxy P-8 on classified, RCU, $125.00. I had auctiioned an epoxy P-8 last year, and Gary Courtney from Huntsville won it. Now the P-8 came up, I hesitated, asked for a picture, it looked good, I backed out. I had talked to the guy that put the P-7 up, and the shipping issue was exposed in the ad. If you looked at the bottom of the ad, there was the question's about the shipping and answered by the lister, right there. He said yes, with proper fund's.
I was concerned, because now, the whole world saw the city and zip code for shipping, and of course, it was me. Now, I figured, I will have to be quick to bid, and bid to win. Got lucky.
