    Built my first one in 1972 and have flown many Pietenpols.

    Just purchased a Pietenpol and appreciate the history lesson. Thanks.

    Very cool. One of the true pioneers of experimental aviation.

    The plans were drawn by my grandfather Orrin C. Hoopman. I have recently discovered two negatives (and to my knowledge, the photos have never been published) from the early 30s showing the Model T powered grand-daddy of all Sky Scouts. Would you be interested ?

    I knew Wes Farmer for many years and as i recall the Scout was an attempt to fit a Model T engine. No dice. Too weak, too heavy and a total flop. He once told me the model A engine minus prop, mag or radiator weighed in at 244 pounds---amazing for the time. Alas my fulsome collection of Fawcett stuff has all been sold so I'm left with wistful, but pleasant memories.

    I just learned something ... I had assumed that the single seat "Sky Scout" using the T-model Ford engine came first.

      I'm building a Sky Scout but it will be A powered.

    This said he stripped the engine of a bunch of weight. I'm wandering besides the starter and generator what could be stripped. That engine was as basic as it could be from it's birth.

      I know he modified the oil pan and the water pump. And I know many people add aluminum cylinder heads and other lightweight performance parts.
