Pietenpol-List: My first flight in a Piet


Hi All

I had my first flight in my Piet this afternoon, I had some teething
problems but everything seems to be going right, I changed the prop and
put on a GSC 72"dia ground adjustable, getting 2300Rpm static in flight
we get 60mph @2300Rpm and 100mph @2500Rpm, solo rate of climb is 500Fpm
and dual is not all that bad either. Got some small changes to do but if
all goes well will have my first official lesson on Thursday.


Here is a snap shot of the solo take off by my instructor and the second
of the take off dual
