I was referring to the one that is photographed from the side, at a 90degree angle. It looks like yellow and some other dark trim color. I wasintrigued because of the lines of the cowl. It seemed almost streamlined.Is that a permissible word when referring to Piets

Hi Mark,Yeah, that was built by Duane (or Dwayne?) Tulba and some other fellow. It's the same airplane that shows up in several other videos on that web page. It's grey, but the reflected sunlight makes it look yellow there. I've learned a little bit about that ship from a few BPAN back issues. When it was first built, it had a cowl that was modeled after the old Jenny. See these pictures on Richard's site:http://www.aircamper.org/cgi-bin/urlgo. ... 2.jpgThose images were scanned from old back issues that had been reproduced on an old copier, so they are very poor quality. Apparently, this Jenny cowl was unsuitable for reasons that I do not yet know. Maybe it was too draggy, with too large a cross section for the smaller diameter prop that the corvair swings. Maybe there were problems with cooling. Beats me.In the end, he may not even be satisfied with the cowl you see in the video. I've heard that he has possession of the mold that BHP used to build the fiberglass cowl on The Last Original. I seem to recall that he once offered to sell copies of the BHP cowl in the BPAN. I've never tried to contact him.--Petermboynton(at)excite.com on 07/08/99 02:22:00 PMcc: (bcc: Peter P Frantz/West/Aerospace/US)Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: New feature/video on AirCamper.orgI was referring to the one that is photographed from the side, at a 90degree angle.
