Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rewey's plane-- not a Pietenpol ?Either Matthew DeFour has his facts totally wrong or this wasn't Bill's Pietenpol. 2 passengers, 4 seats ? I had heardthat Bill was/is building a Zenith perhaps-do they make a 4 seat version ? Too ignorant to comment about Zenith'sbut if this was the Pietenpol then this journalist should go back to middle school journalism class where they teach youto obtain the facts about an event first and foremost and to get them accurate and true. Maybe you guys alreadyanswered the question about what plane he was flying-have not read all of my e-mail yet.If this author is in fact wrong we should collectively e-mail him and ask him to post corrections to this story.I'm very happy to hear that Bill and his passengers walked away-thank God for that.Mike C.Only minor injuries after small plane makes emergency landing near Cottage GroveBy MATTHEW DeFOUR608-252-6144mdefour(at)madison.comA small airplane made an emergency landing Sunday morning in a field near Cottage Grove, police said.The pilot, William Rewey, 81, of Verona, and two passengers suffered minor injuries but were not taken to the hospital, police said.

Certainly we the concernedcitizens of the Piet communityunityJohn________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:46:22 -0700 (PDT)

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Re: 0-200 questionSWEET Terry.....nice photo of those adapters. If I get to that point I mightbug you forthose drawings so we can make some up. Wonder what size wood prop would work well with an 0-200 ? If this materializesI would not go with a metal prop despite their better performance as compared to wood.(couldn't bring myself to use a metal prop on a Piet....though I'd love the extraperformance) Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Rewey's plane-- not a Pietenpol ?Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:30:28 -0400
