After months of getting the Piet's registration sorted out from our buddy Chuck Jackson who donated this Piet. to our EAA chapter 280, then transferring it to our Time To Fly Museum the big day arrived for her test flight. She has only flown one time fifteen years ago for a brief 40 minute test hop so we were all excited to get the old girl back in the air. Alas, engine trouble put an end to this first attempt.

I especially like his landing with that late flare, a three pointer with no forward motion left a real short landing without flaps.

@StonyRC 6 лет назад

What a lovely little plane. It's so good to see unusual models still being cared for and kept going.

@19Cub 6 лет назад

Thank you Stony.

Nice plane

@19Cub 6 лет назад

Best viewed on full screen.

Amazing! Are the fuel tanks in the wings? If not it probably needs a fuel pump :D the DR400 plane i train with needs to have the pump switched on each time the plane pitches up even slightly.

@lodjaboy 6 лет назад

I understand that the fuel is gravity-fed so no pump is needed.

Either that or after 15 years of sitting it's needs a new carburetor.

@kenstewart5991 Год назад

@@lodjaboy If you have a good carburetor.

Did you end up replacing your 1/4” fuel lines with 3/8”?

Please where can I get a Honda reciprocating engine

@sblack48 2 года назад

Went to the Piet gathering at Broadhead in 2014. I was amazed at the wide variety of Piets there. Continentals, corvairs, even the odd model A ford. Some amazing workmanship. Those guys were having way too much fun. I'd love to fly one. I'd hate to be a front seat passenger. You must have to be a contortionist to get in the front cockpit.

You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me

@brooksmaddox1706 2 года назад

@Terrance Byron Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@brooksmaddox1706 2 года назад

@Terrance Byron it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

@terrancebyron3840 2 года назад

@jackaustin3576 Год назад

I like the pietenpol and always have but it would have looked better with a J3 cowling, maybe not as original but better....Have a blessed day....

@janetb1744 2 года назад

Hi Dwain, Where can I get an engine mount for a Continental A-65 for my Pete?

@19Cub 2 года назад

Hi Janet, That motor mount will have to be custom-built either by you or for you. The dimensions of the mount for the Pietenpol will not be the same as any motor mount you will find at any of the aircraft supply houses such as Wag-Aero or Aircraft Spruce. Take heart Janet, a motor mount is not that difficult to fabricate. Good luck. 🙂

@gmcjetpilot 2 года назад

Did you ever get her flying????? Cheers

@Kevin_747 7 лет назад

Good to see an old Piet getting attention. What mags, old Eisemann's ?

@19Cub 7 лет назад

Hi Kevin, the old girls paint is in sad shape but she is a very well built little Pietenpol. We hope to get the engine issues cleared up soon so that we can fly off the phase 1 flight test hours. We hope to use her for a lot of young eagle flights when we get her into phase 2. You are right, her mags are Eisemann AM-4's. We will be looking at them soon. Thanks for watching. Marc

@sblack48 6 лет назад

Did they do a fuel flow test?

@19Cub 2 года назад

First thing. 🙂

@starmanskye 6 лет назад

@ 10:00, #1 ground observer asks, "Did he get a full static run-up on it?" Doesn't appear he did, eh? Fuel-control or ignition issue? Still, sweet plane and nice project. Props!

@midgetrace 4 года назад

Ya mag on? It’s running ! It pulls power, what else?

@glenkohler1291 6 лет назад

Do you mean 'Pietenpol' with an el at the end?

@19Cub 6 лет назад

Hi Glen, thanks for watching. Forgive me for being slow but are you asking about the spelling of Pietenpol? Let me know, OK. Again, thanks for watching.

@19Cub 6 лет назад

Oh, I just discovered the spelling error and have corrected it. Thanks Glen.

@glenkohler1291 6 лет назад

Hi Dwain- How are you doing? I see your spelling is now as tight and right as your cool little airplane....

@emc2184 5 лет назад

Hi, ... you are using a modern flat 4 engine, why? ... that engine has way more power than the original engine ... & to keep it looking original, ... where is the overhead radiator ?

@ohwell2790 4 года назад

They are reliable and it is his airplane that is why.

@kenstewart5991 Год назад

The radiator " in your face" is probably in a museum where it belongs.

@granskare 5 лет назад

the original had a radiator up front so this is a modern replica. OK, have fun and be careful

@PoochAndBoo 4 года назад

It's not a replica, really. It IS a Pietenpol. It's simply a Pietenpol with a Continental engine. You can stick just about any engine that'll fit and it's still a Pietenpol.

@kenstewart5991 Год назад

I always thought putting the radiator for the model "A" Ford motor squarely in front of the pilots forward view to be such a questionable decision that I never trusted the overall Peid engineering. Are the struts strong enough and in the right place? Who did the welding for the early examples? I mean the radiator in your face on an already disadvantaged tail dragged. OK then.

@Mr_Fancypants 4 года назад

I would totally ad a paintgun tailgunner on it and have a dogfight

In Russia, the pension I can not do such a thing. It is a great pity.

@schlusselmensch 5 лет назад

It is a shame. My friend's father, 30 years with Aeroflot as Commander, US$75.00 maybe $100 per month pension. I make this per hour of flying.
