Sure hope these videos are never taken down. One of the best KZread series ever. So sad that they are no longer with us.

Love the post landing checklist! Great video!

Im still learning from his vids still enjoying what they left us thank you

They were always so happy flying it inspired me so much RIP so sad

thank you for the flight, been many years since I did that; likely 50+. Nice little aircraft. Thanks again.

Nice video. Watching it makes me realize how much I like flying. Kitfox 4 with 912 and Avid Flyer with Jabiru currently, and apparently not often enough. Cause watching your video I was thinking, I've got to go flying soon. Jim

I fly a pietenpol. I’m not part of the piet building community. I’ve had some interactions with piet guys at Oshkosh. I’m not a builder. I just want to fly and the piet satisfies the itch without breaking the bank. The building community are salt of the earth types. They take themselves pretty serious.

WAAAW I love this flying 😍👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This has been very helpful. Thanks for the tips.

This is an awesome video. Really enjoyed it. I've always wondered how you see around the nose on one of those, especially the ones with the original engine and massive radiator right in the line of sight.

Just watched this again. The one I hope to buy will undergo its condition inspection this coming Tuesday. Information about the landing of this aircraft is very valuable. Thanks for posting this.

Nice idea! Never thought of that...something to add for future fly-alongs.

Mesmerizing. Nice narrative. I don’t mind that it’s not a pure Pietenpol.

I can't like this one hard enough! Great work. I am defiantly in the "nerdy-airplane" file. I am in the middle of a Piet restoration and I have no Pietenpol time. Any insights on the flying stuff is motivating and interesting. I would love to see a "cockpit view" during patterns if there is room for a camera. As always nice work with the edits and the music. I look forward to more Piet (Grega) content. Sorry to hear about your trip.

Nice! Glad it provides motivation to get that project finished...flying something you have worked on for so long is an immense reward. We will work on a “cockpit view”; may be possible to rig a GoPro under the wing facing forward.

Thank you

I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for posting it. I am considering building a Pietenpol. I have a lot of things in my universe pointing me in this direction, least of which is a local guy that says he will give me the tail feather kit to build if I chose to go this direction. (He is also in the middle of building his.) A building buddy is also a HUGE plus. Anyway, I enjoyed this one and the one where you met up with your parents and gave that girl a ride. Keep them coming!

My dad had a 1946 Taylorcraft BC 12 D in the 60s.....He said it had a great wing for lift.

I am sorry to hear that he is no longer with us. I liked his style and the plane, was going to subscribe too. RIP.

A rose by any other name or so the saying goes. Is it really as much fun to fly as they appear to be? Have lunch and watch airplanes? If you can't fly that sounds like a pleasant pass time. Always making sure youhave somewhere to put her down in the event of an engine failure just like any good pilot should. Nice to see you keeping the skills sharp.For the age of the design I'm amazed at how little into turn rudder is needed in those steep turns. That's not even a proper stall break is it? It just travels downhill in a nose high attitude.

I propose AirBags for light aircraft. Hitting the ground at 120mph is about the same as two cars colliding at 60mph head on. Lives have been saved.

Great video! Love the info although I’m not a pilot so some of it was over my head. As far as the forward visibility while taxiing; I read where a pietenpol builder put a backup camera from a car in the cowling with good success. What are your thoughts on that?

I am building a Grega and some discussion has come up about the length of the center wing struts. Some are saying the the measurements on the plans are wrong. My forward struts are 21”and the rear are 21 3/4”. Can you tell me what the lengths are on yours! Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi how many hours for this build? Is it similar to a Fisher Flying Product Airplane construction ?

@TangoandJuliet

We bought this one as a mostly completed project so we can’t speak to the build time from scratch. It is definitely a “slow build” for most as you fabricate everything from raw materials. But that also makes it a really rewarding (and affordable) project!

Wow I wanted to watch this but I was afraid to turn it on. I feel so bad for them I don't know if I can do this I'll try. Rest in peace.

He seems like a safe pilot wonder what happend. I know density Altitude is suspected by others how could that have been overlooked. Wonder if they would have been safer in the Pietenpol then the 140.

@logicturtle9838

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. My speculation: There is a history with this pilot (according to youtube) of late afternoon cross country flights where the arrival time is in twilight. Based on the details of the preliminary report I suspect the arrival time was too long after sunset, and in the unpopulated area perhaps the pilot lost the horizon and became spatially disoriented during the base to final, perhaps some wind shear or gusty conditions could have contributed.

I realize it's a high wing with no canopy, but almost thought your name was Peter Griffin, it sounded as if you were farting in the mic on occasion.
