Gentlemen,The picture is of N4089P, built by Dave Adams, based at KGWW.I purchased it in somewhat flying condition and have spent many hours making itmy own. Mostly minor mods such as installing a handheld radio bracket and puttinga PTT in the stick.As to the speculation:The engine is a Franklin 4AC-199E, 90hp. Electric start, though no electric system.The black box low down behind the engine is a battery that takes groundpower to charge and is used to start the engine and operate the handheld. Afull charge will crank the engine more times than I have had need of as yet.The brake pedal thing is, in fact, a brake pedal thing. Operated by cable to heelbrakes. There are two independent brake systems, right and left.There is no fuel primer system. The carb has an accelerator pump that does thejob nicely.The wing is a Clark Y.The only "lead in the tail" is in the pilots tail. She balances nicely on the groundbut I am told it is a "little" nose heavy in flight. I have not taken itup myself but hope to get a test pilot to take it up for me soon and do theinitial evaluation of the rigging. I had to take the wings off to transport itto its current location and being a low time Sport Pilot with no time in a Piet,I thought it prudent to have a test pilot do an evaluation for me. Volunteers?Any and all questions will be answered to the best of my limited ability.--------GlennRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/sky_ ... __________

Based at KGWW... Goldsboro, North Carolina. You have some experienced Piet pilotsin your region, and my guess is that one of them would be willing to testyour airplane.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 4.jpg =?ISO-8859-1?Q?640=C3?=-480 pixels
