Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead '06Turn out was relatively light due to Friday's weather being uncooperative in all quadrants but especially bad to the south.7 or 8 Pietenpols and quite a few Hatz airplanes made it in. The Barnstorming Tour made a quick stop which included several Waco and Travelair models.Sunday's weather was delightful and the return trip more than made up for the grueling flight in on Friday.Greg CardinalMinneapolis----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 10:05 PM>> Ok, what's the scoop on the reunion for those who got weathered out or > otherwise didn't make it.

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead '06For Larry and those of you who couldn't be there, here's a brief rundownof the weekend.The weather was for the most part, quite nice. The evenings were quitenice for sleeping under the stars. But there were a few periods of rain,or threatening skies. Unfortunately, due to the unsettled weather allaround, a few who had planned on attending were not able to make it.Attendance was apparently down as well; the food line-ups didn't seem tobe as long as usual, although the parking lot looked pretty full onSaturday. There were, by my count, ten Pietenpol aircraft in attendance- three based at Brodhead, and seven that flew in for the event.Saturday there was a visit by approximately ten vintage biplanes - partof the American Barnstormers Tour - on their way (eventually) toOshkosh. Sunday morning saw the early departure of many visitors. Mosthad left by 10:00 AM. It was actually the nicest day of the weekend,weatherwise. Following is a list (in alpha-numerical order) of the Pietsin attendance.NX2RN Dick Navratil's A-65 Air CamperNX17RW Bill Rewey,s A-65 Air CamperN34KP Ken Perkins' Ford "A" Air CamperN57TL Tim Mickel's O-200 Air CamperN58TL Bill Emo's Air Camper (twin to N57TL)NX497AR Lowell Frank's Radial-engined Air CamperNX899EM Dennis Hall's Ford "A" Sky ScoutNX899H "the Last Original" Corvair Air CamperNX18235 Cardinal/Johnson A-65 Air CamperAnd one unidentified Piet from one of the hangars at Brodhead, that cameout for a couple of flights, but didn't park with the others.Ken Perkins', Bill Rewey's and Tim Mickel's planes were hopping ridesmost of the time on Saturday.I've attached a few lower resolution pictures, and I will post some moreto Photoshare in the next few days.Bill C.-----Original Message-----[mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Oflnawms(at)fuse.netSent: July 24, 2006 11:16 PMOk, what's the scoop on the reunion for those who got weathered out orotherwise didn't make it.

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead '06Mike,The landing gear is per plans (although I've never seen the Sky Scoutplans, personally).Dennis said he had to work a bit to get the wheels to track straight.But then, once the springs compress a bit, the alignment changes too, sohe has them to track straight under "normal" compression. I have readsomewhere that Bernard Pietenpol later said that the Sky Scout gear istoo much work, and should probably be the same as the Air Camper gear.But it does look cool.So, to answer your question, Yes, Dennis' gear is to plans, and Yes, hedoes have something special.Bill C -----Original Message-----[mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Ofbike.mikeSent: July 25, 2006 1:31 PM--> Looking at Bill Church's photo of NX899EM, Dennis Hall's pretty red andblack Ford "A" Sky Scout...I'm not familiar with Scout landing gear so don't know if Dennis' is toplans or if he has something special.Can someone illuminate for me?Mike Hardaway________________________________________________________________________________
