Subject: Pietenpol-List: from the FAA's viewpointWe can name our planes anything we want as far as model goes but the manufacturer (by signedaffidavit required by the FAA saying you built it) is always the PERSON who built it.This whole topic of when to/not to call a Pietenpol a Pietenpol is a farse because it's just like trying to nail downjello. There is no black and white answer-everything is opinion and emotion when you discuss something likethis.Bottom line ? Have fun, build, learn, enjoy, fly, and share-no matter what mods you incorporate or what you call it.Enjoy the good stuff about Pietenpols and don't let the rest of this suck the life out of anyone.Mike C.N-number : N48MCAircraft Serial Number : 189Aircraft Manufacturer : CUY MICHAEL D Model : PIETENPOL AIR CAMPEREngine Manufacturer : CONT MOTOR Model : A&C65 SERIESAircraft Year : 1998Owner Name : CUY MICHAEL DOwner Address : 298 RUNN ST BEREA, OH, 44017-1854Type of Owner : IndividualRegistration Date : 28-Oct-1997Airworthiness Certificate Type : ExperimentalApproved Operations : Amateur Built________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 10:45:44 -0400
