In the mid 60's I flew Allen Ruldolf's Piet, and Allen flew with me to Mr Pietenpol'sfield for an introduction that I'll never forget. Over the next few yearsI kept in close touch with Mr Pietenpol, asking many questions just as youguys are doing with each other, as the List wasn't available. When I asked himwhat his opinion was on the Installation of a Funk Engine, inverted, his answer,I think that it should be an excellent engine for a " Pietenpol ". I saidthat the thrust line would change about 4", Mr. Pietenpol waited a moment andcommented," It should work, just look at the Seabee , it also flies slow." Allof my 4 Piets were not close to to Allen Rudolf's Piet, but you know guys, Ihave a bushel basket full of PIET HATS, so I must be fooling the Brodhead experts.In one of the comments about the Pietenpol being born on the floor of a barn 80years, I came to wonder " I also was concieved 80 years ago also, don't knowwhere, but I tell you guys it has been it has been a ride I'll never ever forget,just ask me.
