I could be wrong, but according to Chet Peek's book, May 20, 1929 was when Bernard
Pietenpol first flew his new airplane, the Air Camper.?
?
Did anyone fly their Piet today? I wanted to, but we had winds too high for me!?

The wheels are 21, built up with my own aluminum hub design, spoked cross -2,
and aluminum skinned. The ones currently on my Piet are my prototypes to check
feasibility of the conic skins. The intent was to emulate the old Bendix Airwheels.
At the urging of the late Al Kelsh, I made (3) more much refined sets for
customers. These later models accepted both Tri-Pacer hydraulic brakes and
the old mechanicals from an Aeronca. Far too labor intensive to build and sell
at anything past break-even. The later wheels finished at 19# complete. which
is exactly what a 600-6 with tube and tire weighs. I have materials to make
one final set for myself someday. Following are some pics of the later style
wheels.

I got tired of the neighbors coming over and asking me to tone down the cursing
while throttling up from the "PUCKET-A, PUCKET-A, PUCKET-A" at idle, so now I
just go over and start the back-up generator before getting in. Much more realistic......the
hourmeter on the genset says 30 hours.

Sorry, but didn't Henry Ford hang out in NJ? He was best friends with Thomas
Edison, from West Orange NJ?
If you get divorced in the south, Is she still your sister?
