Subject: Pietenpol-List: great info Bill Church--- 0-200 powered PietsThank you very much Bill. That's exactly what I was looking for. I would have tried to do a Landings.com aircraftdatabase search later but figured the more astute listers in-the-know would know if that was/was not an 0-200 poweredPiet.Mike C.________________________________

Hi all, My name is Jordan Carr and I am Bill Emo's grandson. However, he unfortunatelypassed on Feb. 6 of 2009. I just wanted to let everyone know. I am a pilotmyself and was taught mostly in part by Papa. He was a great teacher and sparkedmy passion for aviation when I was a young child. I was able to assist himin some of the building process of his Piet and have flown many hours in goodole 58TL. If you have any questions I can do my best to try and answer them.-JordanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Well 58TL took 7 years to build and received its airworthiness certificate in 2002.My Papa, Bill Emo, and Tim Mickle built two nearly identical planes. However,it was not my Papa's original to build a pietenpol. He had fallen in lovewith the British SE-5A and had always wanted to build one. There were two problemswith the design that deterred him. One would be the difficulty of build.We spent alot of time talking about them and the other reason was because ithad only one seat. He was all about sharing aviation so he knew this would justsimply not work. It wasnt until Tim asked my Papa to help him with some wingribs on a new project of his. The rest is history. So it took them 7 years butthey are by far the nicest pietenpols I have seen. And some of the most practicalI might add. 58TL and 57TL are both equipped with O-200's with a full electricsystem. Landing lights, radios, cockpit lights,etc.. The power of suppliedby the O-200 is great. Cruise is around 90-95 mph. Climb is probably 700-800fpm with passenger and nearing 1000fpm solo. However these are merely guesstimatesas there is no VSI.It has a cub cowling and the bungee style gear with 8.00x6.00 tires and toe breaksin both pits. Front panel is sparse. Only slip/skip and gps. It flies likea dream and is ery light on the controls. You think it and its there. A verydocile machine I'd say.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
