I agree with Graham. And here's one magazine article by Pete Bowers about thePietenpol design......(If that link doesn't work, try mykitplane.com in the photo gallery section.)Jim Markle The late Peter Bowers wrote an article on the Pietenpol airplanes and it appeared in a magazine (some time in the 1970's, I think it was), entitled "Pietenpol--The Pasture Pilot's Pride and Joy".The essence of the article was this: If you want to experience flying as it was many years ago with goggles, scarf, etc., the Pietenpol will take you there for a modest amount of money and some effort on your part. But if you must "modernize" it extensively, build or buy something else.
