(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC]" 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) Mike C. PS-- Jim you still owe Travis a beer:) ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:47:36 PM PST US From: "Graham Hansen" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Bowers Pietenpol Article 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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:07:44 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Interested in Piets From: "Stan Amyett" 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.

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 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!
