With all the talk about radials I haven't heard anyone mention the radial powered Piet that was at Brodhead this summer. I believe it had a 145 hp warner on it. it looked huge on that little Piet. the prop made a 72" Model A prop look like a toy and the thing climbed out at about a 30 degree angle. It sounded like it was idleing at cruise speed and I spent the whole weekend trying to figure out why it stayed on the front of the fuselage. It was uncowled and I thought it looked and sounded great.________________________________________________________________________________
