I had a sandwich and coke with Martha Lunken last night. My Piqua, OH EAA chaptermet at "The End Zone" in Covington, OH for our monthly meeting. We try toget there at least once a year. All other meetings are held in the HartzellHangar at the airport.Martha regularly flies up from Lunken airport in her Cessna 180 for the meetingand flies home the same evening. She will likely by my flight examiner whenI go for my Sport License. She told me she once owned a Pietenpol built by Bernard himself. She believesit is now in Wisconsin. Can anyone tell me more about the whereabouts of thisaircraft and who owns it?Thanks--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 06:50:43 -0400

John,That would be NX18224. It is owned by Gary Baglien. Frank Pavliga restored itfor him a couple of years ago. I think it was built around 1937 and I thinkit might have been the last Model A Piet that Mr. Pietenpol built himself. Bythe time Martha had it in the 70's I don't think it looked much like it did inthe 30's. Frank took it back to it's original configuration with the exceptionof the Waco style wing mounted radiator. Mr. Pietenpol had hung the radiatorfrom the wing just like the Waco 9's and 10's had. I believe Gary wantedthe radiator to be more Pietenpol-like so Frank did it that way.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/piet ... ______Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 06:42:29 -0500

Shad, I'm emailing in the hope that you can help with some measurements of your Pietenpol nose bowl. I'm close to being ready to make one, and as I think you know have long admired the one your dad made. If you have a moment, the measurements that would be most helpful are the width, height, depth, intake dimensions, and location of the intake and prop hub holes above/below the horizontal center line and, in the case of the intake holes, the location away from the vertical center line. I'm hoping you and your dad subscribe to the motto that Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Hello folks,I can add a Martha story. Around 1994, I believe, I was flying for Rhoades Aviationin Columbus Indiana, It was time for me to get typed in the Douglas SleeperTransport. aka DC-3. I flew to Lunken with the Chief Pilot to meet Marthaand do the type/ATP ride. Nervous as heck, this is a big day, we proceed toher office. Nice big desk, nice office, in walks Martha. The oral exam is starting!She can see that I'm scared to death. She eases into her big leatherseat, opens up the AIM/FAR. Looks up and over the top of the book and asks....."Dave,do you think my butt looks big in these jeans?" First question ofthe most important type ride of my life, and this is the way it starts! She mademe feel so at ease... The rest of the day was a breeze! What a lady! Whatan advocate for GA. The FAA lost a great examiner the day she retired. Goodto see she still is a D.E.Hope I did not bore anyone, and I look forward to getting home from this tripand picking up my wing wood and fuselage steel.Best Regards,Dave HughesRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Sunset - send in your favorite photo

Re: Pietenpol-List: ELT requirement
Original Posted By: "Ben Charvet"
I ended up putting the ELT unit under the pilot's seat and the ground plane & antenna just behind the pilot's seatback, similar to Jack's.Whether an ELT is required seems to be up to your individual DAR's interpretation of the FAR. Mine said I am not conducting training, so I need an ELT regardless of how close or far I am from the airport. Also, I tried to say it was part of the design and testing of the aircraft, but no joy on that one either.I bought a new ELT from ACS for $199.. Had access to older ones, but by the time I modified them and renewed batteries, it was about as cheap to get the new one. Larry----- Original Message -----

You guys are correct by stating that ELT's are not required during Phase 1 testflights. However, If you do not have one in the plane for the inspection youwill need to contact the DAR or FAA again for a second inspection to verify theinstallation. This could incur another upcharge from the DAR. at least thisis what I have encountered out here on the left coast. I am an EAA Tech Counsolerso I see this question quite often. It is more seamless to just haveit already in the plane from the start.
