Pietenpol-List: Bowers Pietenpol Article

[matronics]

Original Posted By: Jim Markle
Ok, aviation fans. I've got a basement wall lined with shelves full of old aviation mags, and probably so do you. This article is not in my collection. Everybody, check in yours. First to find it, please scan it and post it. Or give the magazine name and date. From there I can get it through interlibrary loan."Years ago, Peter M. Bowers wrote an article titled something like this: PIETENPOL: THE PASTURE PILOT'S PRIDE AND JOY. He pretty well summed up the Pietenpol's capabilities and limitations and ended by saying that the Pietenpol is in a class by itself as a sportplane..."________________________________________________________________________________

Jim,Thanks for the Peter M. Bowers article which deals with some of the things I remembered him saying about Pietenpols.However, this is not the same article I was referring to in a previous post. I wish I still had the magazine it was in (and I can't remember what the name of the publication was, either). Peter's article described several Pietenpols and their flying characteristics, and compared the Pietenpol design to some factory-built airplanes with similar power. It was written around the same time as the article you provided (1969, or perhaps 1970). As I said before, The title was something like "Pietenpol: The Pasture Pilot's Pride and Joy". Maybe that will help someone find it in his collection of old aviation magazines. If it turns up, it would be a welcome addition to the archives because it contains good information for Pietenpol enthusiasts.Graham HansenPietenpol CF-AUN in Alberta, Canada ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Bowers Pietenpol Article

Graham,There is an article that Jim posted on mykitplanes entitled "Pietenpol's Air Camper:The Pasture Pilot's Pride and Joy". It is not, however, by Pete Bowers.It is by a Mr. Joe Christy, and is listed as being from the 1965 Air ProgressHomebuilt Aircraft Annual. Might that be what you are thinking of?You can find it at:http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/filesL ... 43RyanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

GrahamFound it, it is in Winter edition of the Air Trails Sport Aircraft from 1971 . I only have the copy that was reprinted in the Buckeye Pietenpol Association Newsletter 1st and 2nd quarter 1994. I am in the process of scanning it right now.Chris TracySacramento, CaWebsite at http://www.Westcoastpiet.com----- Original Message -----

Ryan,You are right. The article about the "Pasture Pilot's Pride and Joy" is by Joe Christy. I thought it was Peter Bowers who used that title and wrongly attributed the title to Peter.Having looked at Joe Christy's article I remember reading it a long time ago. However, it still isn't the article that I was looking for--and I still have the nagging feeling that it is out there somewhere (obviously with a different title). I'm pretty certain the missing article was written by Peter, but perhaps it wasn't after all. I dunno.OK, you sleuths. Keep digging!Graham Hansen ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 01:39:05 -0700
