Does anyone know if Rick Shanholtzer at Frontier Aviation in McKinney Tx has a website?

Rick Shanholtzer does not have a website. He has the hangar next to me at Aero Country Airport in McKinney, Texas so I see him frequently. Let me know if you need more information.

:spit I'm a french pilot and an homebuilder : my plane is the MJ 100 Spitfire ( all wooden, full scale Spitfire acrobatic replica. (same family than BOB DEFORD Spitfire)
But it's not a question of that.
The question is the engine. It' s the ALLISON V12 engine I 'm the owner and it is located in the workshop of RICK SHANHOTZER in aerocountry airport in Mc KINNEY (Texas) to be overhauled.
4 years ago I paid a lot of money for that , unfortunately no news, no engine, no answer to my emails nobody to my phone calls ......
Is someone know Rick SHANHOLTZER ? Is someone to help me to make fly my Spitfire.

At least, after a 2 years deadly silence, and 2 days ago, I got some news and pictures from Rick Shanholtzer. I seems my Allison V12 is moving foward. : :spit :axe:
