Dan Helsper and his Pietenpol at the Poplar Grove Airport 

I have always loved the black and yellow color pattern and the pietenpol airplane, together you can't miss.

I owned an Ercoupe for twenty years but always had a soft spot in my heart for Pietenpoles

My favorite plane from the golden age, I plan on building one before to long.

Look forward to seeing Dan and this Piet at Brodhead 2022 !

now this is flying!!!!..love it.

Great vid! Love seeing that big, ol' slow-turning curved wooden prop!

wow...love it...great video

I enjoyed your video so have added it to my playlist:

Beautiful, simply beautiful! The sound and low RPM's of that Model A engine can not be duplicated by a regular aircraft engine. As a restorer of 5 Model A Ford's, I wonder if that engine has the typical oil leaks from the babbit bearings on the crankshaft and connecting rods.

i hope one day i see you over there when i come over there

I want to make one myself! Any tips? I just love the idea of building something that can fly.

As refreshing as a tall glass of ice tea!

en Argentina tenemos el grupo constructores de PIETENPOL

I am curious about the purpose of the smaller hose coming from the front of the head that joins with the rear mounted coolant hose. Do most Model A installations have this hose? Not to be confused with a Model T installation. We have a Model A powered Sky Scout we are trying to get into the air. (note the sky scout was intended to have a T engine but ours has an A like an air camper.

just bought a Piet last week....

Dan, nice video, you did a great job. I fly an Aeronca, looked at the Corbins, cause I like the side by side, but, it's too cramped for 2, so back to the Piet idea. Now, I'm told the Ford might be under powered for 2 guys, my brother and I, 170, and 190. Also told the Corvair, although 100 horse, its heavy, and you're better off with the simple 65 horse Cont., or bigger if ya can find one. What's you thought? firefighter tim andrew

I'd like to get in touch with Dan. How do I do that? Brian

Nice

Does the radiator keep your face warm?

I have been told that is to keep any steam pocket from forming. That is an airplane modification not in the cars.

Where did you get that brass radiator

funny flying bath 😬

por favor, no pongan musica cuando el motor esté marchando

How do I contact Dan Helsper. My name is Adam Helsper. I'm a distant relative and would like to introduce myself to him

You can use a different engine and remove the radiator.

Never mind. Haven't looked at ours in a while, too many airplanes, too many old cars. Ours is also set up this way as it has to be. Sorry .

lose the damn music.
