Subject: Pietenpol-List: Texas Pietenpols & GN-1s
I managed to lose my list of fellow Texans who are building or have built and
are flying Pietenpols and GN-1s. If y'all (Texan for you guys or you all) could
resend me your details, I'd be much obliged. I'll not trust the data to a
hard drive again but will print out addresses, phone numbers and other contact
details to leave in my Rolodex this time. I guess it might be nice to have a
list of folks in adjoining states of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. Texans
and Southerners can resend me the info at KRSBTV@AOL.com (I'd also like to
meet owners in Tucson and Phoenix areas since I occasionally make trips there.)
I'm hoping to make the rounds across Texas when the weather is a little more
favorable, to take some pictures and video. In return, I'll send everybody I visit
a CD or DVD of what I compile. It might be handy to compare notes and builder
tips and tricks.
I'm still in a quandary what to do with my airplane (now named Frankenstein)
and I suppose I might get it flying someday (to be flown by the Village Idiot)
or I might part it out and sell off components. I might end up with another Piet
and "Frankenstein," if I simply go out and buy a flying specimen in the coming
weeks... Time will tell.

Mike King has a completed Air Camper hangered just south of Dallas somewhere around
DeSoto
Jeff Hill is working on a one piece wing Air Camper up just north of DFW
Tom Travis is working on a 3 pce wing Air Camper in Dallas
DL Grammont has a completed Corvair powered Air Camper he keeps at the Lancaster
Airport (just South of Dallas)
Hank Stein has a completed A65 powered Air Camper he keeps in a hanger at his grass
strip SW of Ft Worth near Grandview
Monte Miller in the Denton EAA club has an ultralight Air Camper
Ronnie Wagner's working on an Air Camper in Mena, AR
There are several Air Campers at a little field just northeast of Tulsa (I hope
to retire some day and add MINE to that gaggle....)
John Greenlee in Bowie has a real beauty that WILL fly again some day
Larry Neal is working on an Air Camper down SW of Waxahachie
Max Davis in Arlington (and his dad) are working on an Air Camper
Jim Markle in Plano walked through his garage recently and might have seen something
resembling an Air Camper project that hasn't gotten much attention lately
There's a steel tube Air Camper fuse in a hanger at Aero Country Airport a bit
north of Dallas.....just sitting there collecting dust and the owner won't sell
it....what a shame.
By the way, several of the above might just show up at Brodhead in 2005......

What a Bozo! Has anyone talked to him lately? I'd like to look at this and
see if he is willing to part company with it, but if it has been sitting around
for sometime, the problem with steel is interior corrosion. That's one of
several advantages of wood.
Thanks for the info on the builders/owners.

not completely related to the building of Piet's but it does have to do with our
wonderful airplane.
I'm contracted with the makers of RealFlight, the RC model simulator program, to
make 3D models for their "add-on" packs. The "add-on" packs are released every
6 months or so and contain new planes, flying fields, etc.
Last week, I asked if they would let me create a 3D model of the Piet. I just
recieved approval yesterday.
I know a few of you folks on the list have Real Flight G2. If you do (or even
if you don't) I have a couple questions.
1. would you like to see it with the Model A engine/radiator
2. solid axle landing gear or split?
3. motorcycle wheels or standard aircraft wheels?
4. tail skid or tail wheel?
I have full range of creativity on these... just would like a little input.
Be looking for a Piet in an upcoming Real Flight Add-on. :-)

DJ,
Although I am not a purest when it comes to my own airplane, I would think that
the best tribute to the legacy of Mr. Pietenpol would be to simulate the purest
most basic design he started with. Tailskid, model A, short fuselage, single
piece wing, etc... The simulator can fly another day without some of the alterations
we make to our airplanes in the interest of safety.

Hi All
I had my first flight in my Piet this afternoon, I had some teething
problems but everything seems to be going right, I changed the prop and
put on a GSC 72"dia ground adjustable, getting 2300Rpm static in flight
we get 60mph @2300Rpm and 100mph @2500Rpm, solo rate of climb is 500Fpm
and dual is not all that bad either. Got some small changes to do but if
all goes well will have my first official lesson on Thursday.
Here is a snap shot of the solo take off by my instructor and the second
of the take off dual

Fred,
Thank you for staying in touch. I'd like to attend Sun and Fun at Lakeland in
mid-April. Progress on my 116 Cu. inch Ford Escort engine would be faster if
I wasn't trying to invert it. This engne, running on a test stand with a Pietenpol
mount, should generate some interest. One possibility would be to rent
a car and spend some time looking at aircraft. Another possible test bed for
the small, direct drive Ford would be a Jodel D-9, but most of the good airframes
are in Europe. The only information I have on Scout N701F is the empty weight,
indicating that it is probably plans-built. Do you have any other history
or Specs. avaiable?
Mike

Hey Dave,
We found a Piet for FS2004 to put in one of our museum exhibits (my day job
is as an exhibit tech for a children's science museum in Wichita, KS) from
the folks at "Golden Eagle Squadron"
ttp://windrfters.com/Stinpage.htm -- we wanted to show flying in the 30's
vs. present day for the 100 years of powered flight!! ;-)
It has all the right stuff -- spoke wheels, radiator, tail skid, & etc.--
even a pretty respectable Model "A" sound track. In FS2004, you can put
your own N-number on the wings & tail. For $12.50 , you also get the 1934
Ford Roadster & a Primary glider to play with.
