Hi guys I just ( a few weeks back) bought one of those shirts from Bill. It
is a very nice shirt, and Bill is super to deal with.

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Christian Bobka" <bobka@charter.net>
Guys,
I saw a really nice piet shirt on ebay and it turns out it is one of the
locals from Brodhead selling them. Below is some correspondence I received
from him. Contact him directly if you want one (or more). The graphics
are
wonderful. Maybe you can ask for a picture if you are interested.
Chris,
Shipping 3 shirts would be about 5 bucks. I'd sell three for $40. The
shirts are white 100% cotton Hanes shirts. Because they are all cotton,
they will shrink a bit. The front art is a small rectangle, about 3.5
inches wide and 2 inches high with PIETENPOL AIRPLANES in red, blue and
black that matches the back lettering. I'm at work right now, when I get
home, I'll send you a picture of the front if you'd like.
I was at Grassroots and had a few shirts with me, but I didn't want to set
up a table and sell Pietenpol stuff at the MAAC fly-in and step on any toes
of the MAAC people. If you were there, or at Blakesburg, you probably saw
my dad's Rearwin Sportster.
Let me know if you want any shirts. I have several left and I also have the
other Pietenpol type with the different artwork.
Where are you from?

This is the type of molded ear plugs/ communication devise I am aware of...
http://www.pantherelectronics.com/literature/Reprints/AOPA%20REPRINT.pdf
When I went for a ride/lesson in a Stearman it was very hard to hear the instructor
with conventional headsets. Voice activated microphones did not work so
we used a push button intercom and such. After I got back on the ground I decided
when I get the plane built I will invest in some of these molded ear type
things. This is not an endoursment and I have never used it nor even see it
in person.

I was reading some back messages in piet archives and found your message,
March 99, on piet for flight sim 98.
I have MS flight sim 98. Can you tell me where I can download the piet sim
for it? Do I need to buy anything else to use it? I tried this site, also
mentioned http://www.flightsimmers.net/tommy/planes.htm and got an
administrator page to build websites. I don't think that's what I want. In
searching the archives, I only find reference to the piet sim, but only this
reference to tell me how to get it, which at this later date is no longer
available. I joined the piet list in Aug after going to Brodhead. Don't
have much to contribute to the chat, but learning a lot. I do have a piet in
progress, hope to be flying it this summer.
Help is always appreciated.
Thanks,
Linzy

I don't know about MS Flight Sim, but there is an Aircamper aircraft
for X-plane. You can download the X-plane demo at
http://www.X-plane.com and the aircraft at http://www.x-plane.org

hello Linzy,
Check out http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/phoenixflightserv/ for the Old
Hangar's new site -- There is still a bunch of stuff for FS98 -- I have seen
the Piet for FS98 recently. At our museum, we are using Golden Wings on one
of our FS98 computers to show what it was like to fly in the 30's (with a
Travelair 2000 Bipe) Let me know if you can't find the Piet -- I have the
file around here somewhere! ;-)

Subject: | struts, headsets, Wright bros, Flitzer plans |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "LAWRENCE WILLIAMS" <lnawms@msn.com>
Just three quick things that I have gleaned from scanning the entries from the
past several days:
1. The lift struts on the Piet don't (or shouldn't) do anything during flight other
than create drag. It's the crossed wires that carry the load, the struts
just keep the wings from moving DOWNWARD during landings or other negative G load
activities.
2. Ted B. take a look at the Panther Electronics website if you feel you just absolutely
can't fly your Piet without radio communications.
3. Try to get a copy of "History By Contract" to find out how the Wright Bros made
sure they were credited as being the "first".
4. I have a set of Flitzer plans (I thought this was a Pietenpol site?) that I
would GLADLY part with. There are so many different revisions for so many of the
parts that it's absolutely baffling to try to make any sense out of. Mr. Williams
would be well served IMHO to take out all the wordiness and minute details
of the various evolutions and just print up some simple plans that one could
build an airplane from. And no, it's not at all built like a Piet. I would
guess the parts count is at least three times as great.
