Hello gents. Last night my pietenpol looked the most like an airplane as
it ever has. I finished the cabene struts and the center section was
sitting in the corner so I threw it on for a picture. It made me realize
how much closer I am to the finish line. The engine is sitting there
waiting for a motor mount to be made, the fuel tank is patiently waiting
to be installed, tailwheel is finished, wings are complete and ready to
cover, wing struts are ready and the main landing gear is just about
finished. Yippee Charles

HI Steve,
These look about right to me. I've never seen any straight and level
airspeeds even approaching 80 in "RE-PIET", but I know there are faster
Piets out there than mine.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: POH Speeds
Fellow Pieters, What operating speeds do y'all use?
I have just edited a Pietenpol Pilot Operating handbook for my Piet. I found
it on the Matronics list and it looks very complete.
My plane has the Pietenpol wing and has a 65 HP Continental.
Where a cub has 60MPH as the standard speed to do most everything: climb,
final, engine out, longest range. This manual uses the following:
Best angle of climb, 55MPH
Best engine out glide 55 MPH
Normal Climb Out 65 mph
Short Field Takeoff 55
mph
Enroute climb
Best rate of Climb 65
mph
Landing Approach
Normal Approach 65 mph
Touchdown speed 55 mph
Maximum Turbulent Air Penetration Speed 80 mph
Maximum Crosswind Velocity 10 mph
Engine Failure after takeoff 65 mph
Maneuvering speed
1150 lbs 80 mph
Maximum Glide 55 mph
Precautionary landing
With engine power 55 mph
Landing without engine Power 55 mph
Vs Stall Speed 29 mph
Green Arc Normal Operating Range 29-80 mph
Yellow Arc Smooth Air Operating 80-100 mph
Any thoughts from those already flying?
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Semih, Here are both the original and my working copy. My working copy is
slightly modified to match my plane and I have highlighted anything I may
need to change.
I also redid the preflight checklist. I prefer one that starts at one point
and walks around the plane in order.
I plan on getting it complete and then printing it in a very small format
to be printed and laminated.
I will print the important or emergency information on a card to be posted
in the cockpit.
Posted will be Max weight Pilot and Passenger, Best glide, Fire checklist,
Emergency frequencies, and Design Maneuvering speed (Turbulent air).
I figure Those are the reminders I will need. Other checklists don't need
to be posted.
Blue Skies and Thanks to whoever did the original.
