Re: Pietenpol
You're right.They are all self landing.The difference is in how many pieces they land in.My folks had a Cessna 150,I didn't care for that kind of flying.The farm next to us had a J-3,now that was flying.That farmers friend had a Pietenpol,and I had a Model A so I was right in love with that plane.It was an old build,around 1940,and a lot of his family had abused it.It was probably really not airworthy.Best comparison would be looking at an old Fordor with bad wood,doors kind of crooked,roofline kind of drooping in the middle,and had kind of a wiggle when you move it around.The family that owned it is all gone now,but they all had the attitude of,there ain't no blue lights up there.
