Pietenpol Air Camper "Kajsa" and Per Widing. First video footage!
Ғылым және технология
Great pleasure to finally present the first air-to-air video with KAJSA and owner/builder/pilot Per Widing.
I asked Per to write something about his project:
This project is inspired by "Gliding and Flying Manual 1932". I started building in 2000. My limited budget has been to my advantage when I have had to learn to do everything myself. It's been great because I never had any timetable for when the aircraft will be ready. I have made all the parts myself out some instruments and components of the engine. Registration "SE-ACW" is from 1930, but was never used. Normally, all the X-rated homebuilds today have X in their registration. An exception was made for me and 2010 reserved Swedish Transport Agency registration "SE-ACW" for my project. The name "Kajsa" is an old Swedish female name. My Kajsa was originally a Kaja (a Jackdaw) who my mum and her brothers raised up when they were children. Kajsa was so imprinted on the family so she refused to return to the wild, even though she had to fly free. My mother, in turn, told stories about Kajsa when I grew up. The little bird's name now get through my airplane fly on for a hundred years and more.
Filmed at Skå Edeby airfield just outside Stockholm, Sweden in summer 2016.

I learned in a PA-11 Cub and flying in anything with more than 100HP is just "transporting", not flying. I have always wanted a Pietenpol (Model A engine ONLY) and many years ago when BH was still alive I bought the plans from him but never built it. Now my wife thinks I am too old (80) to start flying again. Watching you fly it brings tears to my eyes. Its beautiful.
I love how he captured every vintage aspect of that plane I have watched this a million times

agreed, but you'd have to view it non stop for over 14 years to watch it a million times :)
10 out of 10 video, between them camera angles, the high quality HD, and the beautiful airplane. Very nice job

Belle machine le Pietenpol et belle vidéo.
Without a doubt the best Pietenpol video on the net. Great filming, music, editing and one fine airplane. Thank you for sharing.
And absolutely beautiful video. I have watched this probably 5 times and still get sniffly. Beautifully crafted machine and a beautiful relationship. The true spirit of aviation is exemplified perfectly. I love this
A truely inspirational video. You know the romance and adventure of flight the same way I do.

Your airplane is gorgeous. The paint job really softens the hard lines of the airframe. That lovely straight wing!!! Your attention to detail is wonderful...the wheel covers...the engine, propeller...windscreen! Oh my, what a beautiful ship.
I have watched hundreds of Pietenpol videos. Liked all of them. This is no doubt the best of all. So beatifull so nice so human. Thank you for sharing this emotional video. Its is the best motivation i have to continue thinking I am ready to build a Piet. Thanks a lot Jesper. Congratullations from Brazil.

If kids today could get off of their phones and video games, they might find that they enjoy something like this - pure excitement and full engagement of your mental and physical senses!!

Wow!! Gorgeous plane and outstanding video production skills. A real joy to watch.
I'm in love! 😍What a wonderful plane!
I was smiling like I was crazy watching this! Amazingly done!!

FANTASTIC video! I love to see videos that capture the ESSENCE of flying - the joy, the freedom, the pure joy. I fly a '46 Luscombe - this video captures the EMOTION of flight better than most. Happy trails my friend in aviation!
I've always liked the aircamper but I love yours. It's exactly I mean exactly as a pietenpol should be like. 👍
So beautiful movie and flights! Thanks, man!
Excellent work and video... you have every right to be proud...My Heartfelt Congratulations...Ron
Thats beautiful...great video. My dad had a Pietenpol before I was born. I wish I could have flown it!
This is the best avaiation clip-type movie I ever have seen!!! The aeroplane is a piece of art too! Would like to see it on my next trip to Sweden! And would wish a movie like this also with our Vintage hatz HB-YSH starring! Take care and enjoy briefly your plane an landscape! Hans

Great video of this amazing plane....old days gone
Brought a tear to my eye. I just bought a scale RC model Air Camper. Now I want a real one!!! Absolute magic.
Beautiful video! We just bought a GN-1 Aircamper in California; hope we can find the same joys flying it that you show in this movie.
Beautiful video and flight and aircraft Pietenpol Air Camper!
Great video, enjoy the plane and the scenery. Well done!
Great video and beautiful Air Camper! My brother and I bought a set of plans each a couple of years ago, but we never got started. Going to have a look at those plans this weekend I guess 🤘
Beautiful airplane! My father used to have an Aircamper. I never got to see it or fly in it, but I have always been drawn to the airplane!
fantastic video and beautiful aeroplane. nice job!
Beautiful plane and nice flying! Much future success!!!
Loved the video
Looks for all the world like a Westland Widgeon. Beautiful
Now that is a proper Pietenpol. Water cooled auto engine and big wheels. I love it.

January 2020. And still a great video. Such a beautiful old bird
Fint bygge och härlig film!
Emocionante! Principalmente pelo fato de ser uma aeronave experimental, construída pau e tela, com motor Ford 29, e muito bem conduzida pelo piloto. Só quem já montou nervura por nervura sabe o prazer de voar sua própria obra. Congratulations!
Super Video !!
great video and music
Bought a Piet last December... had it delivered last month... taking lessons in it... only have 250 hrs in my 150.... live in 4000' grass, NH69 nothing like open cockpit flying
Epic man I want one now
Good looking plane, looks like the original 1920s Pietenpol Air Camper design !
Beautiful
Very very cool.

Let me just add that I have a set of plans signed by Bernie Pietenpohl, and spoke with him on the phone many years ago. I felt as though I was speaking with a true aviation pioneer. I've wanted to build one for decades!

Great achievement Per. This is Ali's friend Semih aka "oldbird". Also building a Piet in Turkey.
Beautiful plane Per. I still have a long way to go.
Aside from that radiator being smack dab in the way of the pilots view, that plane seems like a cream puff. Exellent video resolution. Other posters could learn allot with this vid on what HD really means. I'm not a fan of music in these gearhead documentaries, but most people like it, so I'll get over it. Thumbs up !!!
A wonderful video. You, the videographer and Kajsa have captured the spirit of flight. Thank you so very much!
Most of this video has you believing it is 1933. The sound of that engine is wonderful!
Jättefin film!! Tjusig kärra också!!
Excellent! I like the look of a Piet with the old motorcycle style wheels, but Cub style "fat" tires may be more practical on a rough unpaved runway.
Очень красиво!
Is this like the last 7 minutes of a Disney movie about a pilot who struggles back from the devastation of war or something?
😍🤩😍🥰
I just want to let you know that this video and two others featuring Air Campers took me from being hesitant about getting my license to officially saving the money needed to reach that goal.

It was filmed just outside Stockholm Sweden. I grew up here. Love those open fields. Freedom.
Hobby King Pietenpol brough me here, lol

Great film. I know that many Pietenpol's have the Ford engine with the radiator blocking the view forward. How can you "see and be seen" if your vision directly forward is blocked? Seems like you would be more likely to be involved in a collision.
Thank you for this. Im building a sky scout and Im wondering what kind of magneto you are running, Thanks again

Hi guys...I was wondering about something.. I seen a none flying Pietenpol that was built in the 1950s I believe, that had a Ford model A engine.... Has anyone considered another model Ford engine? It seems like if these were flying with the A engine it could fly with a modern straight six or something. Just wondering out loud. Lol
