Pietenpol-List: Introducing myself
Original Posted By: Jim Skinner
Hi, folks.I'm new to this group and wanted to introduce myself. Icurrently own and fly a Tri-Pacer, which is for sale. Theproceeds from the sale will finance the airplane buildingproject. It's been a really nice airplane, but I want tobuild. I can always rent C-150's (yawn) while I do that.I have plans for a Pietenpol, and the more I read about it,the better I like it. Seems to be an airplane for the typeof flying I want to do. It will also mean I have to get thetaildragger endorsement.Been a tinkerer all my life (cars and houses) and am nostranger to tools. Haven't tried building an airplane, sowill need lots of encouragement and advice when I finally getinto it.I live near Molalla, Oregon, which is about 30 miles southof Portland and just about as far from Salem. This is niceflying country and there are plenty of small airstripsaround, both paved and turf. I live next to a paved one.I'd love to meet someone here in Oregon who is eitherbuilding and/or flying a Pietenpol.Don't know what engine I want to use in a Pietenpol yet. I'mnot necessarily a purist who has to have a Model A, but itdoes have it's advantages: inexpensive, low RPM (no PSRU),reliable. It's biggest disadvantage is the low HP output.I've seen Ron Kelley's report on this engine on the BPA webpage, so I know this engine can pull more HP reliably, butI'm still undecided. Better to concentrate my efforts onbuilding the airframe, probably, for now. I may wind upwith an "A," but it will likely be a bit "warmed up".Well, that's enough (probably too much) for an intro. I lookforward to hearing from others.Mike________________________________________________________________________________

Please read an excerpt from FAR 61.31 regarding operations as pilot in commandof tailwheel aircraft: 61.31 (i) Additional training required for operatingtailwheel airplanes.(1) Except as provided in paragraph (i)(2) of this section, no person may actas pilot in command of a tailwheel airplane unless that person has received andlogged flight training from an authorized instructor in a tailwheel airplaneand received an endorsement in the person's logbook from an authorizedinstructor who found the person proficient in the operation of a tailwheelairplane. The flight training must include at least the following the maneuversand procedures: (i) Normal and crosswind takeoffs and landings; (ii) Wheel landings (unless the manufacturer has recommended against suchlandings); and (iii) Go-around procedures.(2) The training and endorsement required by paragraph (i)(1) of this sectionis not required if the person logged pilot-in-command time in a tailwheelairplane before April 15, 1991.I hope this clears up any misconception.Jim Skinner wrote:>> >It will also mean I have to get the> >taildragger endorsement.> >> I don't think there is such a thing.

Hi Mike Welcome to the group! I find it to very thought provoking and a lot of good ideas are shared here. I'm not one of the purists but unless you are going for an exact replica who is? I expect BP himself would still be changing the design some if he could. I started out making metal fittings for an Improved Air Camper and then got a "good deal" on a GN-1 that some one else started. I have all the airframe at the 1" thick stage and have gotten carried away by the idea of building my own engine. I have been wondering about the effects of the longer engine mount and moving the wing back to make the Piets fly on opposed engine power. How does this affect the flight characteristics compared to the original? (jump in guys). I still like the four in a row swing a large slow prop. Have fun Mike I think you'll find building at least the same if not more fun that flying 150sJohn McNarry________________________________________________________________________________

I'm not sure, but I think that as long as you're flying a certificatedaircraft, normal, utility, experimental or limited, you are required/obligatedto conform to the part 61 requirements. Otherwise, anyone could be a testpilot, with no training or certificating requirements. Any PE's out there toverify/kabosh? I'm a ME, so it's out of my area of expertise, but I couldcheck with the FSDO for straight skinny.Ed________________________________________________________________________________

As best I can tell, Unless an aircraft is operated as a public aircraft, the pilothas to be certified in the category and class and type if a type is required. Eventest pilots need the appropriate ratings. The changes to 61.31 make no provisionsfor operating an experimental taildragger. It simply states that to act as PICina tailwheel aircraft you need the instruction listed unless you have documentaryevidence of PIC experiance in a tailwheel airplane before April 15, 1991Ed0248 wrote:> I'm not sure, but I think that as long as you're flying a certificated> aircraft, normal, utility, experimental or limited, you are required/obligated> to conform to the part 61 requirements.
