In the last month I have a friend building a Pietenpol close to me and he had purchased a fuselage already built. I went over to look at his airplane and was very jealous. Very nice work. He wanted me to come over again and look at the fuselage, but before I had the chance he called me up and asked if I wanted it. He was going to build another one. So I accepted his offer and I am thinking of replacing my fuselage with the one he gave me. Anyway I told my dad about the extra Pietenpol fuselage I have and he just jokingly said put two body's on the plane and fly 4 people. So I have been working on the idea and the only problem I see is a little stress in the tail when you might land on just one body in a cross wind. I have already named the airplane the Pieten-38. It would have 4 sets of controls so all could fly the plane. I don't think it would qualify for Light Sport anymore because of 4 places and two engines. With the wide stance on the ground it should handle quite well. Of course you would need a 4 place intercom system so all could talk. And you could instruct 3 people at once if they had some ownership of the plane. You could get your high performance, twin, and taildrager indorcment all at one time. I just haven't decided yet what to do.I have attached a concept pictureJerry________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: PIETEN-38

Hah-! That is something else! But why stop there? Put a full panel in it andput the thing on floats and get your multi, sea, land, instrument, and everythingelse in it! Only thing lacking would be cowl flaps and controllable pitchprop and the horsepower (plus retracts) and you could get your complex, highperformance too.--------Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXAir Camper NX41CCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Well, Jerry, I can see two other minor problems with your concept (in additionto the "little stress on the tail").One is the co-ordination of the two pilots. Getting them to both look left at thesame time would be a challenge. Synchronized piloting?The other problem is the discontinuity of the shadow cast by such a craft.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:19:05 -0500

It could be more aptly named the Peiten-82, similar to the twin Mustang, F-82.
