Yahoo! My father's Air Sedan has finally made it from the museum hangar to Glen Peck's shop at Creve Coeur Airport! Glen also has John Cournoyer's Robin under restoration in the shop right now so Peck Aeroplane Restoration looks like a small version of the Curtiss Robertson factory. Thanks to the folks at the Antique Airplane Association and Greg Herrick from the Golden Wings Flying Museum, there is a chance we will be able to acquire some technical drawing data from FAA storage. What remains of the Curtiss Wright Corporation has for years prohibited the public from getting access to the drawings for old Travel Air planes as well as Curtiss Robertson and Curtiss Wright designs. I tried to get the info back in 1992 but I was thwarted at every turn. I tried again today and met with the same initial results. However, since the Supreme Court has ruled that the documents and drawings should be made available, I will keep pecking away at them. Any WIXers out there had any luck getting this stuff from the New York A/C Certification office? Any help or direction would be much appreciated.
