I had to look up Pietenpol Could be. It was on a page that was of planes in the homebuilt area. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Unfortunately, it comes with a cost: https://abc7chicago.com/plane-crash-crashes-oshkosh-airplane/13572532/ A Rotorway 162F helicopter and an ELA Eclipse 10 gyrocopter collided shortly after noon local time at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, authorities said. The aircraft belonged to individuals attending the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual fly-in convention in Oshkosh but were not involved in the air show, a statement from the organization said.

The new owner of it landed short and first took out the nose wheel. The rest is too emotionally painful to relate. The Cessna now has both engines out of it.

Laramie Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Years ago my best friend and I built a KR2 experimental plane and went to Oshkosh for the show. It was quite an experience! Whatever kind of aircraft you’re into, it can be found there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
