In 2001, just after the first rumors about the new Sport Pilot Rule, a group ofPietenpol builders in Italy got to thinking that the Piet would make a greatLSA. They decided to modernize the design and out of respect to Bernard namedthe line Sport Campers just reflecting the original origin out of respect.With the Sport Camper family of aircraft it is possible to choose between threedifferent aerodynamic layouts: the low wing "LoCamp"- the parasol wing "HiCamp"- the biplane "BiCamp". The aircraft may look romantic, but under the skinthey are modern state of the art machines. All parts are CAD designed and producedby CNC/laser cutting equipment to exacting tolerances and perfect finish.www.aerolab.it________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2008 11:38:42 -0400

Yes they look nice and the website is very slick but now you are in to akit. And you are thusly paying for someone else to do your work for you. Thewhole appeal of the Pietenpol or for that matter the Flybaby is that youbuild it from plans and raw materials and there is a real rustic simplicityto them. It is about as economical as you can get in a real aircraft. Iwould not be surprised to see you in for 50 thou $ by the time you are donein on of them slick Italian kits.Michael----- Original Message -----

Steve, another way to mount the valve may be with the "Rubber Tank Grommet" that California Power Systems sells. They advertise it as "snap-in fuel compatible rubber grommet for blind sealing of valves or fittings in fuel tanks." "Requires 33/64" access hole in tank." www.800-airwolf.come or 510-357-2403.Good Luck and keep us postedGene in Tennessee------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Checked by AVG. 4/5/2008 7:53 AM________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: This is not a Pietenpol but...

Top, bottom or both the question seems to keep coming up airfoil. Between theWarner and the Italian version in the other link the lower winged Piet has somereal eye appeal.A little stretched, bigger tail, different airfoil, did anyone say flaps (oh thatwas me sorry - just indigestion). Fun, fun, fun!BobSanta Fe, NMRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: This is not a Pietenpol but...
