- The famous Andrew King goes into detail talking about the popular $1.00 Pietenpol Aircamper. This has been a popular homebuilt aircraft that has dated back to the twenties. Designed for a Model A car engine and built with simple materials such as wood and sheet metal. Make sure you watch part two of me flying the $1.00 Pietenpol.

Video is shot with a Samsung Galaxy S8+, Sony RX100-V, and a DJI Mavic Pro Drone.

Hi Greg Deal here . NC52. awesome video .Tell Andrew hello. I now have and fly a pietenpol, model A powered. what fun it is!
LOL I thought it was 1/3 scale Radio Control aircraft, not a full size, before starting the video. Nice airplane and a fabulous story!
Ed's sister Erna was my mother- she talked of the building of the aircraft and having to help push it up to the top of the hill from the hanger to get to the neighbors field for take off. My dad talked of helping Ed cut down the radiator for the airplane. I have a 1/4 scale RC model that I built but I made the fuselage a dark blue nobody could remember for sure the correct color. Sure would like to see the aircraft some time.. Many in my family became pilots -my wife -dad-son-daughter all flew. Family still has a 172 Cessna and a 7BCM champ. Thanks for taking good care of this aircraft hope it can be in the air for many more years.
Arlyn could you please contact me with a email so I can exchange contact info Dewey.davenport0837@gmail.com
Bought a Piet last year... still learning to fly it. NH69 Tim Andrew
That was a great story of the History of this plane. Very cool.
Thankyou
I was fortunate enough to be Allen Rudolf’s neighbor when I grew up. Saw him fly it many times. When I was in high school he was having a problem with a misfire. Turned out there was hole in the exhaust stack under the heat muff. He made a new exhaust stack out of a tube from an auto steering column. Climbing into the front cockpit was really difficult. Allen was born in 1904 and died at 93 1/2 years old. I have his flying hat and googles. Allen was Catholic and I believe Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travel.
This is the first time I have heard the name since I was a kid. I had a magazine with the plans for a sky scout and an air camper. One used a model T engine !
John thanks for watching. I have always been around Pietenpols since I was a teen. I now feel honored to have the oldest Aircamper in the world in my hangar. Check out part two if you haven't.
My dad built and flew his own airplane in 1929-1930 with a Model T engine. It was his own design but he used a modified Pietenpol wing with a 54 inch chord and a 29 foot wingspan. With a Model T engine, it was only a single seater. Here's a thumbs up!
Hey Robert thanks for the message. I was wondering if you had any pictures of the aircraft that your dad built. It would be really neat to see them if you had them available. Many of my antique airplane buddies would enjoy seeing the history.
Edgar Russert, he misspelled his last name, it's Rusert, was my uncle. My dad used to talk about Edgars building the plane. Dad told me that Edgar made a sand cast to make an aluminum head for the engine to save weight. For many years my cousins and I played around the hangar on my grandparents place. I believe it is gone, as a gravel company, has taken out that part of the property. My dad and most of his brothers and sisters are gone. 2 of the youngest still are here, Lorna and Daryl, but who knows how long.
I think I saw this plane at the Springfield airport a few weeks ago. How cool! There were a few Pietenpols there.
This is GREAT!!
Whether or not you can get in depends on an overlooked problem. Do you have a long torso for your height or a short torso.? This is the key item. All legs with short torso could lead to problems getting in and out...and comfort too -whereas a taller person with a long torso might fit just fine.
Awesome ……...such a beautiful engine, explained in poetry, a big thanks guys
The good old days of flying !
This is a great story.
I love living history. Very happy this wonderful aircraft keeps giving back.
Very cool.. looking forward to part II.
Awesome plane. Thanks for sharing!
midik123 thanks for watching. If you like airplanes then you should like the video's.

Hmm..."if you like planes".. is there anyone who doesn't? Lol.
Harry said I'm 80 years old and I'm going to try and pass a flight physical to start flying often.
Awesome!
Wonderful video Dewey and Andrew , I would love to own a Pietenpol someday! Be sure and click on the link above for the $1 peitenpol air camper story!
Amazingly good inflight video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice bit of history Dewey. Hey, what do you think about those Autogyro aircraft?
A Real Pietenpol has a Model A Ford Engine. I drive a '29 Phaeton. Very nice!
Oh, by the way. I got one thing wrong. It was pistons Edgar was making not the head. I'm well past 60 myself and sometimes things get a bit fuzzy in the past.
Matt thanks so much for writing about your uncle and the memories that you had. Where do you live?
@@DeweyDavenport South of St. James, MN We still have property about 2 miles from where the plane was built so I get over there from time to time. Unfortunately my grand parents property is no longer in the family
@@DeweyDavenport I contacted one of my cousins, Lorenz Rusert's son, about the plane. His father would probably have been the one who helped Edgar.
Dude! This is amazing! Just stumbled upon your channel, subscribed. Looks like some awesome content! I’ll be sticking around.😁 have a great week!
Dylan Wampler not to many people like the old airplane stuff. Once the weather breaks I'll get to come more real airplane stuff.
I should have been a farmer. Then I could have my own airstrip and I'd definitely have a Pietenpol.
Very nice video
Anyone got any news from Dewey? Hope everythings ok. Sure miss his videos. Wish him well.
Wonder why Mr. Pietenpol didn't design a U-shaped cutout in the wing over the pilot's seat to make it easier to get in and out?
Do you smell the exhaust while you are flying it? Thanks Mike Townsley
Was this where Peter sripol made his ultralight flight?
Yep. Peter has done all his test flights here.
I have a tachometer out of an old out of a world war two fighter. Its for sale on offer up but if your interested let me know.
You must let Isaiah and me do that- hopefully there might be some flying weather left when he gets back.
COOOOOOOL
the grips are cushman scooter grips
Was that dollar .01 a silver certificate and a wheat penny or an Indian head?
Tim Foley. I'll have to ask. Good question. Hahahah
Ha! I want to chase you with my racing quad on take off to capture with the GoPro!
75$ for an engine, wow. LOL, what a great plane.
David Dillon for someone into antiques like myself we love aircraft like the Pietenpol.
I am looking for a set of blue prints for the pietenpol camper have not been able to get through to the family if anyone can help please
Kevin did you try to contact Don Pietenpol? Let me do some hunting around and see if I can reach them.
They have a website.
This is why people should fly real planes and not RC models: they are cheaper! ;P
Very interesting. If you could get the audio level more consistent, it would be even better. Maybe you can get that figured out before you record part 2.
I'm not sure what happened on the audio this time. I'll try to figure it out, well see.
I'd love to fly this plane but first I have yo get 4 years older and get my private pilots and then a taildragger endorsement
Where is Peter. This is the same strip he flys off of.
Hahaha Peter is doing good. Yes I let Peter so most of his crazy project from my strip. You should see something fairly soon from him.
That is a lot of grass to meow
Awesome video!! I just subscribed to your channel. 😉👍🏼 Stop by my channel and check out my Grandfathers/my 1946 J-3 Cub I’m restoring. My grandfather bought it in 1968 and she was still airworthy when I took it apart in the spring. March of 2017. There’s nothing like flying good old history and keeping it alive. 😃👍🏼
Chad Cole thanks for checking out my video's. I subscribed to your channel so I should be able to keep track with your cub progress.
Dewey Davenport - Thanks a lot Brother! God bless!
