What a story Kevin... it really couldn't have turned out better. Glad you and
your ship came out ok. We saw you flying most of the day Saturday.
Hope you have a safe trip home.

Kevin- great to hear that you and the airplane survived
to fly another day. I've heard story after story about
how folks step up to the plate when things like this
happen, and you're back in the air before you know it.
Obviously, I'm jealous because you made it to Brodhead
and I never have. If you get time in the next couple of
weeks, I'd sure like to hear about your flight up there
and back, with as much detail as you can remember. Next
year I will turn 60 (July 28) and I am hoping I will be
able to celebrate that occasion with my first flight to
Brodhead in 41CC.

Kevin,
I saw the vid and have to say that was some great flying and landing skills on
your part. Great job in saving what could have resulted in a serious and catastrophic
event.
Just amazing!

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Crash - Long Post
Hi - I'd like to recount my mishap at Brodhead on Friday for members of the list.
The trip up: I made it from Austin to Brodhead in 3.5 days. 1.0 day delay due
to weather. The only issue I had during the trip was an attempted ground loop
east of Kansas City. I dragged the right wing tip but the damage was minimal.
It didn't make me happy but it was not a tragedy.
The mishap: I was doing a touch and go at Brodhead. During the "go" part I felt
the aircraft yaw sharply to the left. It felt like I had struck something with
the left gear or that the tire caught in the wet ground. I powered through
it and managed to avoid going into the corn field to the left of the runway.
I thought to myself, "For goodness sake (or something like that), what's wrong
with my ability to control this thing?" thinking back to the wingtip dragging
episode.
As I continued around the pattern I looked out and saw that my left landing gear
V was hanging from the rear attach point. The front part of the V had been
ripped loose from the mounting lug.
I flew over the field trying to get everyone's attention on the ground. I knew
I had succeeded when I saw everyone running in the same direction with a definite
purpose. I waited for the pattern to clear and then landed on one of the
closed runways to take advantage of a direct head wind. I also planned the approach
to take me in the vicinity of the group so that there was rescue available
quickly. The people on the ground did a great job clearing everyone off
of the runways.
I turned off the fuel on short final and performed a wheel landing. I held the
left wing up as long as possible. When the left gear dug in we were going pretty
slow. I flipped the ignition and battery off. The aircraft spun around
~180 degrees, the left wing tip touched the ground and the aircraft came to a
rest. There was no further incident. I will never forget the look on Jessie
Mueller's face as I was careening toward her and Ryan's brand new airplane. I
was stomping on the right brake pretty hard.
The repair: if you've got to wreck a Piet do it at Brodhead. Matt Smith, a local,
along with his Dad and son, spent 7 hours making the necessary repairs. The
landing gear V needed the lugs reattached, the bungee cross strut tab on the
bottom of the V had pulled out, and the bungee cross strut was bent. Matt,
an amazingly talented and knowledgeable A&P/IA did great work and taught me a
lot in the 7 hours. Unbelievable. You know he wouldn't take any money, right?
Of course not. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Matt, his Dad
and son. In addition to Matt and his family, several knowledgeable people looked
over the rest of the aircraft for me and verified that the landing gear was
the only apparent damage. I appreciate you.
Today: flew ~3 hours and took ~8 passengers. I told them all that I had wrecked
the day before. They all said, "I know" and we went flying. Amazing.
Cause: the yaw I felt on my touch and go was the left gear V front attachment failing.
If I had not noticed that the gear was hanging from the rear lug this
event may have gone very, very badly. I don't always check to see if the gear's
still there before landing but I've started to do so now. I'm glad I looked.
Anyway, the V attach lugs failed because I hit something or because the welds
were stressed and chose that time to fail. I did not find anything on the
runway so it may have been the latter. As I've mentioned here before I have
~140 hours on the plane since the first flight last September and I've done ~400
landings. I've worked the gear pretty hard.
Lessons Learned & Things I'll Start Doing: I'll darn sure preflight those attachment
lugs better. I'll also take the right gear off and have a professional
verify the integrity of my welds on that side. My before landing check now includes
a visual check of "Gear down and locked."
Good things: I was delighted to meet many of my internet friends in person. What
a great group of people! Then, with the wreck, they really came through and
showed me how wonderful they are. I have been nicknamed Kevin "Axel" Purtee
from TGWP. They had to explain the reference to me since it's been years since
I've seen the movie. It is quite funny and I shall wear my new nickname with
pride. I was presented an award for "The shortest landing at Brodhead in 2010"
which I will frame and hang in a prominent place. I have now been enshrined
in the Hitler video. A thing of beauty.
I'm going to miss some of you and I'm sorry, but thanks to everyone who helped,
including Jack Phillips, Gary at Brodhead, Lowell Frank, Rob Busch, Ernie Moreno,
Mike Cuy, Don Emch, John Hoffman and all the rest of the dozens of people
who helped. Thanks especially to Ryan and Jessie Mueller and Dan Yocum. They
rock. Sounds like an acceptance speech - sorry.
You may wanna archive this one.
You guys are spectacular.

where would the best place to start be, concerning the model A?
I would like to know where i can find cores, parts, build logs, conversions, ect.
So I can try and get a full picture. Just in case we decide that the model
A is what we want to go with.
I heard one up at Brodhead.... it was soo cool!!

Actually, I love it. Really makes you feel like you're there. Interesting effect.

If I was doing it again (instead of buying one already built) I would figure out a way to get with Lowell Frank and/or Ken Perkins. There are others but I would find out everything you can from those two. Do a search of the Matronics Archives (http://www.matronics.com/searching/) for anything from Lowell. ("Pieti Lowell"). Ken doesn't get on this list but he also knows a LOT about what's going on with Model A's.
There won't be a book you can just check out but these folks and some others and
the original Pietenpol plans....that will be a great start!
That may have very well been Ken's Model A you heard...what a sweet sound. If
you're interested in more, I did an "engine start to engine stop" video of a ride
Ken gave me several years ago (he enjoyed it so much he went out and bought
a new computer so he could watch it!)...I would be glad to send you a copy on
CD.

Dan, sell the RC planes... it will clear up space in the attic, and it will help
fund your purchase of the plans for the 1:1 scale, or your first order of wood
and T-88. Get busy building, man!

Billy
You got it right about needing to sell the RC airplanes. Every now and then I
build another one for something to do. Fly it a few times then up in the attic
it goes.
I considered building a Piet then I came across a really nice one for sale a few
weeks ago. I missed out on the adventure and challenge of building and went
straight to the enjoyment of flying. :D

Axel's landing was a thing of beauty.
"The pond Axel the pond's the safest place!"
There were a bunch of us positioned in case any emergency were to befell
him.
"it just means the world to him you care....They're good people Axel!"
I myself was ready to smack him with a two-by-four in case It was
necessary.
I feel blessed to be a part of this group. Weather kept the Cub in the
hangar and the rains at night did not dampen the fun. This is not the
same event it was ten years ago. Since 1998 or so, with the growth of
this list, a new breed of Pietenpol builder has come forth and some
beautiful machines have been hatched. This year we added Dan Helsper's
and Kevin's, I mean Axel's, ships to that list. I also have found some
of my best friends are those I only see once or twice a year but for
whom I have great respect and tend to love like a brother. My eyes water
a bit, when we all leave, for some reason. It was great to add Kevin and
his new bride as well as the Chouinard family among others to the friend
list. I will add some pictures and comments after I get a charge back on
my camera.
However, this gentleman would like to have the last word on Kevin's
situation:

delay due to weather. The only issue I had during the trip was an
attempted ground loop east of Kansas City. I dragged the right wing tip
but the damage was minimal. It didn't make me happy but it was not a
tragedy.
>
> The mishap: I was doing a touch and go at Brodhead. During the "go"
part I felt the aircraft yaw sharply to the left. It felt like I had
struck something with the left gear or that the tire caught in the wet
ground. I powered through it and managed to avoid going into the corn
field to the left of the runway. I thought to myself, "For goodness
sake (or something like that), what's wrong with my ability to control
this thing?" thinking back to the wingtip dragging episode.
>
> As I continued around the pattern I looked out and saw that my left
landing gear V was hanging from the rear attach point. The front part
of the V had been ripped loose from the mounting lug.
>
> I flew over the field trying to get everyone's attention on the
ground. I knew I had succeeded when I saw everyone running in the same
direction with a definite purpose. I waited for the pattern to clear
and then landed on one of the closed runways to take advantage of a
direct head wind. I also planned the approach to take me in the
vicinity of the group so that there was rescue available quickly. The
people on the ground did a great job clearing everyone off of the
runways.
>
> I turned off the fuel on short final and performed a wheel landing. I
held the left wing up as long as possible. When the left gear dug in we
were going pretty slow. I flipped the ignition and battery off. The
aircraft spun around ~180 degrees, the left wing tip touched the ground
and the aircraft came to a rest. There was no further incident. I will
never forget the look on Jessie Mueller's face as I was careening toward
her and Ryan's brand new airplane. I was stomping on the right brake
pretty hard.
>
> The repair: if you've got to wreck a Piet do it at Brodhead. Matt
Smith, a local, along with his Dad and son, spent 7 hours making the
necessary repairs. The landing gear V needed the lugs reattached, the
bungee cross strut tab on the bottom of the V had pulled out, and the
bungee cross strut was bent. Matt, an amazingly talented and
knowledgeable A&P/IA did great work and taught me a lot in the 7 hours.
Unbelievable. You know he wouldn't take any money, right? Of course
not. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Matt, his Dad and
son. In addition to Matt and his family, several knowledgeable people
looked over the rest of the aircraft for me and verified that the
landing gear was the only apparent damage. I appreciate you.
>
> Today: flew ~3 hours and took ~8 passengers. I told them all that I
had wrecked the day before. They all said, "I know" and we went flying.
Amazing.
>
> Cause: the yaw I felt on my touch and go was the left gear V front
attachment failing. If I had not noticed that the gear was hanging from
the rear lug this event may have gone very, very badly. I don't always
check to see if the gear's still there before landing but I've started
to do so now. I'm glad I looked. Anyway, the V attach lugs failed
because I hit something or because the welds were stressed and chose
that time to fail. I did not find anything on the runway so it may have
been the latter. As I've mentioned here before I have ~140 hours on the
plane since the first flight last September and I've done ~400 landings.
I've worked the gear pretty hard.
>
> Lessons Learned & Things I'll Start Doing: I'll darn sure preflight
those attachment lugs better. I'll also take the right gear off and
have a professional verify the integrity of my welds on that side. My
before landing check now includes a visual check of "Gear down and
locked."
>
> Good things: I was delighted to meet many of my internet friends in
person. What a great group of people! Then, with the wreck, they
really came through and showed me how wonderful they are. I have been
nicknamed Kevin "Axel" Purtee from TGWP. They had to explain the
reference to me since it's been years since I've seen the movie. It is
quite funny and I shall wear my new nickname with pride. I was
presented an award for "The shortest landing at Brodhead in 2010" which
I will frame and hang in a prominent place. I have now been enshrined
in the Hitler video. A thing of beauty.

Kevin,
Welcome to my club.
Just as I turned the corner after landing,I spotted you taking that final left
turn at 28 ft over my head, I stopped and whipped out my camera , snapped a perfect
shot through my cabanes just to the left of the Ford radiator, you were
about 10 Ft off the turf, with wheel snugged up under like a trick pilot showing
off , and as you administered a perfect, lame duck landing, I proudly lowered
my surprise shot of the day to my lap, and to my astonishment the two camera
batteries had sped to my lap without my knowledge just pry or to the speedy
camera work.
Sorry Kevin
By the way, I see you got a few new drain holes at the trailing edge of the wing,
that is the good news.
Pieti Lowell

That's defiantly a start.
And yes it was Ken's piet. I double checked my pictures against the west coast
piet library.
I just can't believe that it has enough power to weight ratio, but when I talked
to the taller guy wiping it down on Sat. He seemed to indicate that, though
it wasn't a fast climber it had plenty of guts, for two.
He did say that it got a little hot in the summer time, but sure was nice in the
fall:)
