This guy....Jim Markle, I have MET this guy and KNOW him so my first
advice to the entire
list is to beware when dealing with him....he's building a Ford powered
Piet too.....scary.
Actually Jim is a GREAT guy.....and is doing a fine job on his airplane.
He actually does a very
nice job of flying a Pietenpol from the front seat too. (next time I'm
not going to let him embarrass me
by flying better than me)

PS-- Jim you still owe Travis a beer:)

Thanks Guys! Thanks to Peter, Clif, Jim and all the others who dug out this
article. It is the article I was referring to but, unfortunately, I had the
wrong title and this threw the sleuths off the trail.
This article is, I'm sure, of considerable interest to members of the
group--especially those who are considering building a Pietenpol. I remember
meeting Peter Bowers and discussing Pietenpols at the 1968 Abbotsford BC
airshow. He had his Pietenpol there and I still have some photos of it. It
was a very neat job with a Funk conversion of the Ford A engine.
Thanks again,
Graham Hansen

| Subject: | Interested in Piets |
I am interested in buying a Pietenpol. I've research the Piet including
this chat group and have a few question.
I live in central Texas (high summer density altitudes) and I weigh 220
lbs, is the 65 hp Continental enough to carry myself and another adult?
How much of a difference would an 85 hp engine make on the useful load
and climb performance?
How much maintenance should I expect on a Piet (I am only slightly
mechanical myself) and would most A+P's be able/willing to inspect and
repair wood and fabric aircraft?
Where do most Piet owners list their aircraft for sale?
Any other useful info would be greatly appreciated.

Stan,
Oscar, Corky and Chuck can answer your question better, but they have all flown
A65 Piets in comparable weather. None weigh 220, though. I weigh more than
you and plan the same--an A65. However, a C85 will provide a substantial margin
for climbing out with a load.

I couldn't get that link to work either. I remembered printing out
these plans from the mykitplanes site. Here is that link
http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/filesList2.cfm?AlbumID=74
If that doesn't work, just go to Mykitplane.com and look under the file
library for Hans Vandervoort's stuff. Lots of other good stuff in this
site too
You can even see pictures of my Piet project!
