St. Croix still advertises in Kitplane.GN-1 is not a Pietenpol, An Apple is not a orange.I'm building a UL Piet by Ragwing, If you call a GN-1 a Pietenpol I can call myRagwing a Pietenpol also.I will build a real Pietenpol at some point in time with plans from DonPietenpol.But I could build it from plans in 1932 Flying and Gliding Manual.I think a real piet with a Model "A" engine being towed behind a Model "A" to alocal Fly-In and being in the Dress of the Period would be a real blast.I also ride a Harley not a Honda that tries to look like a Harley..This is not ment to offend anybody but lets get the apples and orangesseperated.ThanksGordonRW1 UL PietMohawk MK IV EA-8198 ElectraGlideKB6IEsteve(at)byu.edu wrote:> re: various plans>> Don Pietenpol = Orin Hoopman plans (considered "THE SOURCE" for original and> supported (meaning supplemental plans, handbook, etc) Genuine PIETENPOL Air> Camper plans)>> GN-1 = John Grega's Pietenpol look-a-like often mistaken for Genuine> "Pietenpol Air Camper" Aircamper.>> St. Croix = Orin Hoopman plans. without support or supplement, "to the best> of my knowledge plagiarized the out of copyright 1933 plans set."
