Pietenpol solo 

I'm so glad you shared this with us! Seeing you up close, that big smile on your face was a huge throwback to my first solo in SZD-50 Puchacz at age 16. There's nothing like it.

What a joy to watch, Josh. Awesome video brother!

Excellent! You guys seem like you have a blast on flite test but this seems like pure joy. Would love to see more full scale!

Pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing the moment... could feel the excitement! I kept looking for Alex's quad to come zipping by ... must have had to constrain him, eh? ;-)

I had no clue Josh had his own channel! I subbed instantly of course. Him and Josh Scott are my two favorite people at flite test!

Josh that was great , i have a question , can i use cardboard instead of foamboard for the pietenpol ?

recommended to me 12-23-2019, My question is, what all is needed other than building this plane, in order to get it in the air? FAA license? Prior training, before your first flight?

wow... this is UNREAL. I MUST do this. Can you point me in the right direction to get started?

This video is an image of true happiness. Congratulations to you JB, and all of the #flitetest family! Now I'm off to fly my Bushwacker. ;D

cool Plane sub and like

Looks like sheer pleasure .....

Great vid. I saw that airplane when Howard first built it. You have a true aviation treasure to take care of. Never met a Piet I didn't love but the original model A powered are my favorites. Happy flying.

Should have had Alex chase you with his quad lol!

Hi Josh, congratulations on your momentous achievement. The absolute joy on your face, from take-off to landing, makes it all worthwhile. That is my dream also! I've just ordered the plans for my own Pietenpol Air Camper from Andrew Pietenpol. They should arrive in approximately 2 weeks. I can't wait to get started. Again, congratulations and may you have many, many years of pure joy! Best regards, Don.

Over 1,000 subscribers and he hasn't made a video in 4 years, I kinda surprised.

did you participate in the josh brawl of 2021?

Hi mr.josh how are u ,l gained lot of knowledge from flitetest , josh can u tell me what are the apps you use to make templates and plans for rc planes ,thank u

Nice machine flew at a nice weather and nice view of the country around. Wanna get in a plane and come over the big pot (from germany), haha ;-) Where is this little airport situated?

Whao! Josh posted a video! Nice flying!

8 minutes of a big goofy smile lol. That was a nice landing i couldnt even tell when the wheels touched down.

Hey been trying to find plans for this plane

Wow this is truly incredible, glad to see your dream come true! =D

Do you put your arm out to indicate you are turning left ... LOL.

Hi your engine HP pawar an torque ???

Where did you takeoff? And where and when did you learn to fly?

I love the look on your face as you touch down... true happiness!

I've always wanted to get into ultralight aviation. This is cool as hell

Thats really cool, Im Mathew and I am 13 but alredy looking for a future in aviation, I have always wanted my own plane but they are so expensive, I now have a great plane to consider, it looks great, I really hope I can build my own some day, I love your videos and Flite Test, great accomplishment, keep up the good work!

This has become my new favorite video. Thanks for sharing. I'm right behind you. I just picked up a Pietenpol and in process of getting it airworthy. I cannot wait.

Great landing and a very nice flight

is there any instruments or radio??

please help me out i wont to be in the club i live in erie pa

how can you see where you are going??

Howard would be so pleased!

Touchdown so smooth! love that FLITE TEST

i wont too build my own? please

Im jealous as shit lol

Josh Great video. I have a Ford powered Piet as well. Would you share with me your idle RPM's, your take off RPM's and your cruise RPM's? Also if you don't mind, anything special you did to the engine. Thanks, Jack

Enhorabuena!

Wow! I never knew you also fly "real" airplanes! Can't wait for you to start paramotoring too! Great video, Josh! Keep it up!

hey josh i loved it

Very nice!!

nice

beautiful

You look so happy, is your wife going to learn to fly ?.

Josh, we have thought about building one, but we have a really short "runway", how long does it take to take of. From 0mph. please in metres.

When I need to lift my spirits, I come watch this video again. Such a happy place. I hope you are progressing on getting back in the air and everything smooths out. Love to see that smile on your face. Hope your having a great day. Love you and praying for you, Brother.

My only one question is..What glue (name type brand ) should one use to glue this thing...

Beautiful flight with a great landing. When I see you with flight test or by yourself, you seem to be happiest when flying. I tell my wife all the time, if flight were a women I'd marry her lol. Really though flight is an amazing thing

Hi Josh....it's AMAZING...i'm French helicopter pilot with up to 8000hours in flight but i'll give a lot of things to fly with the same airplane...sensations are incredibles...i love it...Fly safe Philippe

Very nice! You must have had the time of your life. Didn't you fly more times? I think we all would like to see your flights. And please add more cameras.

Hey Josh! Just like Alex's Harry Potter car, could you do the golden snitch? that would be cool!

Nice! I'm sort of the opposite: A full scale pilot who's been out of R/C a long time and thinking about getting back into it.

I would love to see more videos from you. Flite Test kind of lost its spirit in the past year and I want the old days back with kit making and all that fun stuff and not a bunch of guys that scream bloody murder when something unimpressive works. More videos from Flite Test that are decent please.

I didn't even have to check what engine you were using before I could tell by you having to look around the radiator of it that you had a Model A engine in it. My father and I have been building a Fly Baby for the past few years now which is coming close to completion with the plans to possibly add a second wing in the future. We had just bought an A-65 for her and we very much so want to fly over to Oshkosh from Ottawa maybe next year. Great video!

You are such a lucky person, you made the influence on me to make the PPL license and first to get into the RCplane hobby :-) Hope to meet you one day personally, Greatings from Hungary

The smile on your face says it all...! Having way too much fun!

That's so cool.. someday.. maybe a 103 aerolite

Tail dragging at it's finest!

That is my dream! I wish i creat an airplain too and fly with it. Congradss!!

Way to go Josh, you looked like you loved every single second of it....

Do you ever still fly real aircraft? havent seen much about the pietenpol since this video

thats awesome josh. you need a mic an a pan on your camera.lol congrats brother.

Please tell me you have a build video :D

i love that you have your own real plane Thats Awsome!

So Amazing!!!! Well done bro.

Beautiful flight! Showwww!

The smoothest landing I've seen

speechless!!... awesome!!!...

Man... Nerves of steel, I saw the pull-pull controls and what looks like fabric coating. Must feel awesome flying a "model airplane." Subscribed!

you are living the dream

Wear those goggles around a lot at the workshop in Ohio

Josh please make more of these videos. I know you guys are starting the whole full scale series on FliteTest but I enjoy just watching you fly around. Maybe you could show us the way to get started with flying and getting a ppl. Thanks from a big fan from Ireland 🇮🇪

Greased it in, great landing!

omg I love this plane, keep on flying josh I really want to learn to fly, I'm 13, so only one more year till I can start learning legally in the UK
