My Piqua, OH EAA chapter met at "The End Zone" in Covington, OH for our monthly meeting. We try to get there at least once a year. All other meetings are held in the Hartzell Hangar at the airport. Martha regularly flies up from Lunken airport in her Cessna 180 for the meeting and flies home the same evening. She will likely by my flight examiner when I go for my Sport License. She told me she once owned a Pietenpol built by Bernard himself. She believes it is now in Wisconsin. Can anyone tell me more about the whereabouts of this aircraft and who owns it?

I did my flight exam with her back in Oct. It was as low stress and relaxed as could be. During the test she told me her flying stories of the area....Many times while reading her flying mag articles I wished I could meet her and never dreamed I would be able to fly with her.

It is owned by Gary Baglien. Frank Pavliga restored it for him a couple of years ago. I think it was built around 1937 and I think it might have been the last Model A Piet that Mr. Pietenpol built himself. By the time Martha had it in the 70's I don't think it looked much like it did in the 30's. Frank took it back to it's original configuration with the exception of the Waco style wing mounted radiator. Mr. Pietenpol had hung the radiator from the wing just like the Waco 9's and 10's had. I believe Gary wanted the radiator to be more Pietenpol-like so Frank did it that way.

There's just something about the calm, still mornings that just can't be described. Just don't pay attention to the dorky look on my face. :D Don Emch NX899DE Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403084#403084 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/gopr0200smaller_212.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/gopr0161smaller_790.jpg ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:57:57 AM PST US From: "Greg Cardinal" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Martha Lunken Gary Baglien has this aircraft hangared in New Richmond, WI and it is beautiful.

If I remember correctly Sunrise is brighter, whiter and crisper light. Sunset is more golden, diffuse (how about that word) and softer. Has to do with the dirt stirred up by farming and heat rising during the day.

My hope would be to fly straight on down to the fly-in site all in one shot, but if the midday winds kick up as high as I saw them around Tracy where the 205 and the 5 triangulate, I would strongly consider stopping in Santa Rosa for the evening. Or maybe that's not the Air Camper way? Do we soldier on, in the face of adversity, and take the pummelling no matter what? Is that what Bernard would have done (or what "Axel" Purtee does)? Maybe I just need to man up and do it, wind or no wind ;o) I have a year to get toughened up, in any case ;o) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403099#403099 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 11:26:55 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Prop on From: "namrednos" Its a Corvair, they turn counter-clock-wise with out a cam change Scott -------- Scott Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403111#403111 ________________________________ Message 16 ____________________________________ Time: 01:39:51 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Prop on From: "AircamperN11MS" Wow Rick, I count 7 airplanes it that hanger.

In the garage with the A75 that I bought and which now hangs on my airplane, was a polished metal prop that I was not interested in. The family is trying to clear out these items and would like to sell the prop. The only picture I have of it is attached, and I did a little bit of tracking down of the numbers on it with McCauley. The clearest number on it is the Type Certificate TC918, which narrows it down to 13 groups of propellers under that TC. The number 1A102 is also visible on it, and according to McCauley that narrows it down to the Cessna A150, L, M, and 150L, M. Of that bunch, the C-150L was the most produced model, so I assume that's what it fits. In that case, it is probably a 69x48 for the O-200. However, it may have been cut down or modified from stock. There is currently one such prop listed on Barnstormers for $850 but I suspect it is in much better condition than the one I'm referring to. I have no other information on this prop. Call Tom Campbell, (210)325-9599 in San Antonio, TX if you need more info. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403121#403121 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/p3140011_179.jpg ________________________________ Message 18 ____________________________________ Time: 03:50:47 PM PST US From: "Gary Boothe" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: Prop on The same guy? ...and I thought I was slow learner...
