Default Re: A powered Pietenpol Air Camper

My younger brother, now deceased, built a Pietenpol about 35 years ago. He had very few tools so it must be an easy plane to build. He used a 140(?)hp Corvair engine in place of the 40hp A engine. This plane is probably still around somewhere. By the way, I thought he was calling it a "Pete" and "Paul". I never rode in it but the guys at a small field near him said it would nearly leap into the air.
