Pietenpol-List: will the real Pietenpol please stand up

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Jonathan Ragle
Sigh... here we go again... "what's the difference between a Pietenpol and a GN-1?"I won't get into it this time; I sent Doc Mosher a very nice and informativeletter on the subject and he wrote an editorial about my letter on the BPANews website. Enough said from my corner. All I was trying to do was givedue respect to both Mr. Pietenpol and Mr. Grega for their respective contributionsto our most enjoyable sport in both Air Campers and Aircampers, but thenagain some people call any yellow airplane a "Cub" no matter what it really is.For now suffice it to say that N83887 is registered as a "Pietenpol GN-1". Nowyou talk about a hermaphrodite-! That's just about the same as saying your partyaffiliation is "Democratic Republican" ;o)Low 'n' slow forever!

Hey... Coke=2C Pepsi -- Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper. I'll sit on a tailgate and drink a different-brand soda with anybody and I don't criticize them for the flavor they prefer. (Oscar calls me a woosie cause I like Corona=2C but that's just between two amigos...:) This Piet vs GN thing brings us apart. I just call 'em Aircampers and hope for the best.Now get this=2C the example I have (in progress and soon to go on Ebay) is a Piet fuselage and a GN wing) I didn't start this=2C an A&P/AI who has a Master's Degree in an aeronautical field did=2C and whom was in the Air Force as a B1 and a B2 maintenance officer. (Has more brains than me=2C so I suspect he knows someting I didn't ? )I guess my "AirCamper" is part Baptist=2C part Lutheran? ..... Either way (Piet/GN or Baptist/Lutreran) I suspect we all touch-down on the same grass strip in the end and that's really all that matters.Sterlingthe original TACO from El Paso

Hmmm? Part Episcopalian / part Catholic? or LDS / FLDS? .... I lived in Salt Lake City briefly. "Flys Low=2C Delightly Slow" or "Low=2C Deliciously Slow" SterlingThe Original TACO from El Paso

Sorry man!! Definately not trying to start a debate or war of any type. :) I just looked it up again before getting on here and sure enough it's a Pietenpol GN-1. So it's a hermie=2C not to worried about it. I did a bit of research and found a few things about the GN-1. I should have known it was a newbie question and done a search.
