02:33:52 PMQuestion: What does a Pietenpol NOT need more of?Answer: Drag!Question: What does a Bipe Pietenpol have more of?Yeah, I know, it's sort of a smart-ass remark, but I mean it in asilly/serious way.It just so happens that I'm working in Portland, OR for a while andthe guy who built the Bipe-Piet is nearby. I understand that he andhis father built a number of regular single wing Piets also. I'd liketo track him down and visit while I'm here. If I turn up anyinteresting facts, I'll be sure to pass them along.Also, there was an article in the EAA magazine about this plane withpics and description of flight charteristics ("power off, glides likea brick" or something similar). You can search the EAA web site andorder a reprint. I'm in Portland and the article is in Columbia, SC,or I'd pass exact reference along.Good luck and welcome!Mike BellColumbia, SCProud owner of two old Corvairs, one of which will donate an enginefor my Piet.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Bipe PietenpolHi Mike--Thought I would pass along some information for you and any other local/temporary citizens. This weekend is the Evergreen Airport Antique Fly In. Supposed to be between 200 and 500 planes there, static displays, and the usual food etc. The airport is on the eastern end of Mill Plain Road--easy enough to find from either I-205 (closer access from freeway) or I-5.Can't miss it. Just get on Mill Plain and head east. It is on the North side of the road. Anyone interested in more details can e mail me direct at patcoolnet(at)aol.com. My brother has a hanger there for his non Piet plane and my Dad is working on the wing for his Piet--has the fusalage and tail complete--shooting at having it at the Fly in in 2001--thanks, Pat________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Bipe PietenpolSorry, no. But he loves to have visitors. He will likely be at the Fly In if you go--noon to 5 Fri, 8-5 Sat, 8--12 Sun.--5.00 admission. Just ask for Mike (my brother) or Bud Cooley. Dad is building the parts in his shop here (about 15 minutes from the air port)--when he is ready to assemble and cover will have to move to the hanger due to size of the wing. If you don't go or miss him, the phone here is 360-892-3167. Call and tell him you want to see his plane and you two can decide when it will work for both of you. He's retired, but swears he needs a job to get some time off. Call anytime between 8am and 9pm--if he's not around or out in the shop, we will take a number and he can return your call. Thanks, Pat________________________________________________________________________________
