Two things to point out are (1) this airplane has a header tank, which Ian may not be building so wouldn't have the same sort of setup necessarily, and (2) notice that the fuel valve control rod could be fitted with a similar operating handle for the front cockpit by simply welding it on. I would also add that it is very important to placard the lever operating positions, which this one isn't.>Wonder if this Piet was ever sold?

He told of buying a Franklin powered Pietfrom Oregon that was green and yellow. When we talked to him a bit, both ofus realized this was the aforementioned airplane. Heavy, Franklin engine andneeded a little TLC. He said he is having a blast with it.Jack, do you remember anything else? I think I got it right.TakeCare,-john-That's about all I remember, John. He was very enthusiastic about it.Jack________________________________________________________________________________
