Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpols at Sun-n-Fun
Original Posted By: "tools"
As a pilot and as a writer, it has been a joy to spend time with and share thepassions of builders, owners and designers, and to fly and to evaluate a numberof experimental, amateur-built aircraft. Indeed, the logbooks now show 583 hoursin 88 individual experimental aircraft of 59 models.It was some time in the last millennium when I added Kitplanes to the list of publicationsfor which I've written, and the majority of the Kitplanes articleshave been pilot reports. But new editors make changes, and the new editor hasdecided that I will no longer write pilot reports for Kitplanes.Be that as it may, there's still a great story to be told of the Pietenpol andthe traditions kept alive by the current generation. I still want to write thatstory, still want to see it in print -- but it will be for a different publication.Hopefully this story will be illustrated with Ben Chavret's airplane butmaybe more if I get the chance.And if anybody has any interesting anecdotes or technical tidbits, please dropme an email.Ed Wischmeyernear Savannah, GA________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpols at Sun-n-Fun

Hey Ed,Sorry to hear about the editorial woes... had a friend who wrote for and was editorof several well known auto magazines... quite a fickle world!Anyhoo, doubtful, though not completely out of the question, that I'll make sunand fun, however, my daughter lives in Savannah and I need to make a cross countrythere to see her. Shoot me your number and I'll advise you when I do andyou can give my Piet a once over and trip around the patch.It's Dick Navatril's first Piet and he's quite well known not only amongst Piettypes, but sun and fun types as well. A great bird of the classic variety, straightaxle, wire wheels, wood short fuse and a A-65. Might be nice to add herflying traits to your pilot's report if we can get you in it before you finishyour article.Conversely, should you be able to get up to the Chattanooga area, you're alwayswelcome.ToolsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:29:10 -0500
